Monster add

Both have serious and mature drama, and similar psychological themes dealing with peoples' inner monsters.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

No rec for these two series yet? Zetsuboushita!

Itoshiki-sensei & Yozo Oba are both based upon the main character of No Longer Human, Osamu Dazai's novel. In fact, they share the same characteristics: handsome, kimono-wearing, popular with women, and (trying to be) suicidal young men that society left hopelessly in despair.
Both anime revolve around more or less the same matters: despair, death, and being human.
Aoi Bungaku is serious, while Zetsubou Sensei has its unique kind of humour, but these anime are both amazing, extremely well-done and enjoyable.
