This is mainly due to similarities in the animation style and how it conveys the characters emotions. They are both very "sketchy" and free-flowing, not scared to go off-model to convey a characters thoughts and feelings. Very well developed characters and detailed worlds. While the narratives are quite different, the do go over similar themes of self-discovery and growth, as well as freedom from an oppressive system.

Crazy, mind-altering, acid-dropping, surreal effects make for a great visual experience. Also both have an interesting philosophical undertone besides all the insanity that ensues.

At first glance, these movies might seem quite different, but the feeling of existential confusion, dread, and delight that they both manage to fill me with is hard to ignore. By the end of each one, you will be left pondering your own humanity and existence. I won't spoil the details, but they deal heavily with what it means to live, to be human, and to exist in the world. The art direction is top notch in both, featuring some of the most interesting and dynamic uses of "camera" movement, framing, and character morphing I've ever seen. They aren't afraid to go off-model a bit  read more

Even though the stories are entirely different, one about saving a baby and the other about saving a town, in the end the ones who are truly saved are the main characters that fought to protect what's important to them. Tekkon Kinkreet is just as heart-warming as Tokyo Godfathers.

-Both films take place in a bleak dystopian rendition of Tokyo, in which the police are powerless, and which has fallen into the hands of gangs. -Both stories follow groups of orphaned child gangsters, fighting for dominance over their cities from rival Yakuza groups. Each with a strong, pre-developed leader; and a headstrong ward whom he loves and protects, often from themselves. -Both stories contain a greater plot, which forces the young gangsters to fight for the future of their beloved cities.

The main similarity here is the sketchy but intentional art style and feel, as well as the very detailed world design. Tekkon Kinkreet is far more psychological and darker than Eizouken, but both have very elaborate and imaginative worlds. I often wanted to pause and just take in the details of the backgrounds, as there are many times where it would be impossible to pick up on everything the first time around.

Both movies will stun you with their visual style as well as keep you on the edge of your seat.

Certainly their art styles are something that immediately connects the two, however they both also share the same brutal, stylized violence and grungy modern life coming into conflict with traditional Japanese culture. I was honestly surprised when I realized they weren't done by the same people! :D

If you liked the series Durarara!! then I recommend you check out the movie Tekkon Kinkreet. Although both are very different in style, both are similar thematically, dealing with a superficial storyline about gang relations and both share a similar atmosphere. There are deeper currents below the surface of both of these anime and although the darker elements are there, neither anime really beats you over the head to demonstrate the point. The point is made, rather, by events unfurling and by watching what develops around the characters. If you enjoyed the movie for a more extended visit to a similar  read more

Industrial setting, criminal gangs, philosophy and questions of human existence.

Both are coming of age stories, focusing on the friendship between the two main characters, with the difference being that the main characters are both boys, while the main character of Omoide no Marnie are both girls. Friendship helps the main characters of both anime overcome their problems, as well as learn more about themselves. Both are character-driven stories, featuring great animation and beautiful backgrounds. The only different is that Tekkon Kinkreet has more action.

both of them show brothers who do what they want and don't want to be regulated. both are animated in unique styles. both of them explore a wonderful and strange world. both of them have the psychological genre. 
report Recommended by Minerava
Both movies involve children dealing with adulthood, nostalgia, family or the lack of family. Both movies seem really lighthearted in the beginning then becomes extreemly harrowing and emotional. Both movies are extreemly creative and unique in there designs and animations in a very good way. Target demographic is male.

Both series feature vibrant and rich urban fantasy worlds, with quirky characters, gang fights, and dark psychological themes (alter ego, shadow). Dorohedoro is by far more violent and magical though.

Ok, so, this might sound kinda out there cause these two anime have nothing in common. Tekkonkinreet is much much much better than Fire Force due to the fact that just about the only good qualities of Fire Force are the sound design and animation. In these categories is where the two are comparable. No matter how bad the plot of Fire Force is, there is no denying that the animation and sound design are stunning, and in my opinion, very similar to that of Tekkonkinkreet. When watching this film, one thing I felt throughout was a sense of overstimulation. The animation works so perfectly  read more

- "I don't know what's going on, but I like it and want it to continue" - contains quirky characters with their own problems (Kyousougiga being on the lighter end than Tekkonkinkreet) - animation and art style that stands out and is different than what you usually get in anime - surreal settings, themes and action sequences - eccentric cityscapes - doesn't explain stuff upfront, so as to maintain some mystery about the characters & of how things ended up in their state, and to let you think about it These are also one of those abstract shows and gave me: - similar overall impression of "scatteredness" of the story or the  read more

Both feature unique art styles which can be initially off-putting along with an almost frenetic pace. Society is dark and twisted, with corruption and greed dominating everyday life. The main characters are flawed and misguided, as well as being hunted in one way or another by the key antagonists. Also, the musical score adds great depth to powerful moments, of which there are many in both. Death is portrayed realistically, with all the loss, regret and pain that comes with it. There is no glory in death, only suffering.

way of drawing have much in common. both are a kind of town's legends.

Similar animation style - Festival animation. And a very nice story. 
report Recommended by Umasuki
These are fundamentally two works about self-discovery in a complex and sometimes dreary world. The main characters in both are trying to figure themselves out, and both gather some very heavy baggage by the end. They are largely about flawed people, people who are broken and aren't fully aware of it themselves. Lots of the themes and messages are constant in both. They also both have excellent world-building that gets you very invested in it's inner workings, but only tell you just enough to leave that curiosity growing.

Both have a dark, disturbing, strange imagery and an end quite similare in the psychology. 
report Recommended by Zeloft
Almost exactly the same in both concept and content. The difference is that Tekkonkinkreet is better in literally every way, and you should completely skip Haruwo and watch Tekkonkinkreet instead.

Same studio, similar mix of street punk brotherhood and larger scale crime with hints of the supernatural

Different thematically, but they both share a similar aesthetic. Also some of the only anime where the people actually look asian
