Phantom ~ Requiem For the Phantom is fanciful than Golgo 13, but both delve into the world of elite assassins. If you liked one, you may well want to consider the other.
Both anime are about professional assassins. While the outcome of some missions are predictable with the lead character being nearly invincible & unbeatable, both shows are still very entertaining.

If you've enjoyed the revenge of Hell Girl, you will most likely enjoy the hits by Golgo 13. In a way you get to see both sides of the coin. In Hell Girl you will see the victim receive help, and in Golgo you will see the predator attacking the prey.
While not as depressing as Hell Girl it does feature an episodic formula which works either Golgo himself or around the client or just some poor schmuck much like the stories found in Hell Girl. I consider Golgo 13 an alternate genre of the same tragic elements and slightly antichristic due to Golgo's background (check wikipedia). While this show is more action and sex based it's still very good for Both Ai Enma and Golgo 13 have this mysterious allure to them which makes the show highly rewatchable. :)

Golgo 13, Bartender, Mushishi, and Gallery Fake all have one thing in common.
1. They're all professionals or masters at the field they represent
2. People fear them somewhat
3. They're all a one man party.
Golgo 13 is more violent in terms of Bartender's calm lax attitude, but you can definitely see a resemblance in the two. I would recommenced Gallery Fake and Mushishi as well, but they're already up there xD

Both are about bounty hunters and incorporate lots of jazz music. Bebop is in a futuristic setting while Golgo 13 is more or less the present. They are both episodic being that pretty much every episode is about chasing a new bounty instead of having an overall storyline.

Both retain a classic feeling art styles with inspiration from 60's and 70's manga and anime
Both have relatively simple stories but are fun

Both are violent.
Both have some sexual stuff in them.
Another thing that's similar to High school of the dead is a manga called Kingdom of zombie. Kingdom of zombie and Highscool of the dead both have zombies.

These two anime give off a similar vibe to me because the MC always wins and there isn't really a huge overarching story line.
The main difference is that Takumi wins through a mix of luck and skill while Duke Togo operates with pure skill alone.

Violence, shooting, crime, professionals.

Both are episodic adaptions of manga about manly men, doing manly things. Where Keaton is a master of all trades, Golgo only solves his problems one way: with a sniper rifle.

Both of them have a gun-shooting, badass main character, and they love women, a lot. The difference is their personalities, Golgo 13 (Duke Togo) is a stoic man with pretty much no human emotions, who is always serious, while Ryo Saeba is a fun, outgoing man who knows when to play and when to be serious.

Both series are made up of episodic stories instead of long drawn out plots. Even though Golgo kills people and Conan solves crimes, the formula is pretty much the same.

Golgo 13 has a very different pace than Tokyo Tribe 2 but it is still about one very GAR Mother F...... living on the wrong side of the law.

Golgo 13 is realistic in its setting and Mellowlink that of a sci-fi future. Golgo 13 is a mysterious, high paid assassin and Mellowlink simply a soldier out for revenge. None the less, the characters share an intense determination, superior physical reflexes, weapon skills, and tactics. Gritty is a word used by other reviewers for both and I agree. Mellowlink dates from the late '80's and although Golgo 13 series from 2008, both offer crisp animation without a a bunch of CG glitz. If you liked one, do consider the other.

Although Golgo lacks the bonding aspect that Rainbow has they are still both extremely Gar or manly with extremely badass main characters.

Both have a dark mood, and both of the main characters are very strong, and use guns as their main weapons.
