It's futuristic in nature and has the same "overcast", melancholly tone to it. The characters are increadibly similar to eachother;
Spike Spiegel and Roger Smith (both voiced by Stephen Blum in English) are both cool and collected characters with beloved allies that annoy them to no end.
Faye Valentine and Angel (both voiced by Wendee Lee in English) are both selfish women looking to restore their lost memories and who become unwillingly in love with the main character.
Both fantastic.
Both these series are anime with a style that's more similar to American cartoons than anime itself. CB has its cowboy aesthetics, while Big O is often described as ''Batman turned anime''. They also share a strange, offbeat but at the same time melancholic atmosphere that's further enhanced by a jazzy soundtrack. If you liked one, then I strongly recommend giving the other a try.
great action and jazz ost
Each series generally follows a standalone episode format, with the exception of the occasional story arc, and focuses on a group of misfit allies looking to make sense of the world around them. Both series' protagonists are closely related in their profession, mannerisms, and of course their cynicism, and to top things off, both dubbed versions are voiced by Steven Blum.
Both series contains a similar feeling with the main male protagonists being tough, independent, and collected. The main female protagonist from both series also has similar traits.
Both series gives off that old school vibe with the jazz music and solid OST.
Both series follows an episodic format with its themes.
They both also have great dialogues, action, and drama, and science fiction themes.

If you like surreal shows about giant robots in a dreary, post-apocalyptic setting, ho boy, have I got the show for you.
Both shows take place in a post apocalyptic setting featuring mecha that are of god-like proportions. Both of them also feature psychological aspects and religious symbolism(although it only has meanings in Big O and not Evangelion).
Both series features science fiction themes with the involvement of mecha in combat warfare.
Both series features a style of old school art that are nostalgic. There is also action, drama, and some psychological themes especially involving some of the later episodes and plot.
Both series takes place in a post apocalyptic setting that also explores some religious themes.

Both series have mechs except that Big O is bigger. Both main characters have butlers and female assistants. Both have a noir atmosphere.
Retro feeling, steampunkdieselpunk world, crime and detectives, giant robots battling. big o is better though, but steam detectives is also good for all steampunkdieselpunk lovers

Both shows are set in bubble cities in the near future and have some dark vibes. While Ergo Proxy doesn't have mechs, its does still have some action packed combat. More importantly the characters in both stories delve deeper in the history and dark past of the bubbles cites to reveal some big secrets.
Moody with a big mystery looming over the characters. Both shows are very well put together.

Both are giant Robot shows with a Steam Punk setting. Similar fight scenes and designs.
Both are very good steampunk shows that require at least one viewing.
The robots both have a similar kind of design and mass as well.

Noir-Style Setting, mechas fighting and protagonist doing detective-y work.
Both have giant robots and time loops.

Haves the futuristic and most importantly the Gotham City feel. Paradigm City is like Gotham City without Batman, but with gundam like mecha. Metropolis has the large city feel, with its run down slums and power hungry elites. But both shows, have a past of these cities that's surround in secret.

Both have strong American superhero influences. Big O is full of Batman allusions, the main character being a rich man who dresses in black and uses gadets to poke around and solve mysteries (and fight mecha) and the art style is reminiscent of the art-deco type animation of the old batman cartoons. Tiger & Bunny is a bit closer to X-men with characters who are NEXT with powers are considered 'the next stage in evolution' by some and people to be feared by others, with some NEXT turning to crime and others turning to heroism. They both also take place in urban environments highly similar to American cities.

Have very different characters and style but somewhat similar stories and settings in the sci-fi genre. They both take place in a post-apocalyptic world, No.6 in a city built to be a utopia with a wall to keep the rest of the world out, and Big O in Paradigm, a city where the rich live in domes, and few know about the cities outside. Both settings have dark secrets the main characters must uncover, and in doing so learn more about themselves.

Marco is very similar to Roger; and both of them will help people by using their mindsets to put out their decisions, to block harm from them.

Both are about lost memories. However The Big O features a mass memory wipe, while Cassher Sins is only limited to Casshern.
Both of them however, feature a dystopian future due to a past cataclysm. that took the lives of many and are the result of the protagonist's memory loss.

Both feature semi-sentient giant robots left behind from a forgotten era. The mecha designs also have some close similarities.

Both anime are about main characters and their plans to make the world a good place.
The characters are very similar; and they like to make decisions to every problem that occurs.

Both Lupin III and The Big O have this old-fashioned animation style that looks about the same. Although, Lupin has a different storyline, but I see the similarities in both Lupin and Roger, they are (not) detectives, but you know, they have the feeling they want to be one and then act towards being one.
They're both pretty fun to watch although The Big O has a more Sci-Fi feel to it while Lupin has this dramatic-comedy feel to it. Both are enjoyable and decent to watch.

Both have that spy-fiction feel that reminds us of James Bond. To support that feel, they both have creative character designs; some good to look at and some ugly as sin.
They also have very good music composers who make those action scenes as groovy and smooth as a sarsaparilla(it's a rare drink, but it's good!)
They're basically moody shows, that are easy to take in, since they have American characteristics.
Big O has mecha, has an overarching story, has much better animation despite it's age, and has a strong message.
009-1 is orchestrated in a stand-alone manner, making it a bit harder to enjoy. It's character designs are also a little harder to swallow. And it also contains graphic content.

Almost similar story and characters, so if you are interested in mystery and action they both are worthy to watch.

Roger Smith and Reiji Fujita is very similar to each other and they both have a similar job. On top of that they both have a female assistance to help them in their work. The bond between them will also get close as the story develop.
The themes and the settings may be different to Gallery Fake, however as I remember Big O have a seinen type of story which someway is similar to Gallery Fake.

Big O and Darker than Black draw influences from film noir (and, some may say, Batman). Both are set in a grim future brought about by a cataclysmic event that occurred years prior. The protagonists are well-known professionals in their line of work with shady pasts that may be connected to the aforementioned disaster.

Roger Smith and Yugo are negotiators who don't kill people and use weapons. Except that Big O is set in a fictional noir city while Yugo is set in Pakistan and Russia.

Crapsack postapocalyptic worlds, people controlled by rich people in domed cities.
Both protagonists are sort of "jacks of all trades"
Ancient Mass Destruction Weapons
