They're similar in how both of the main characters are isolated from most people and often have inner narrations throughout the story. They both have events in their past that are often brought up and are relevant to the plot. They share psychological and seinen genres, which makes them feel similar as well. Not to mention, both series deal with very dark topics, like suicide (NHK) and kidnapping (ERASED).

NHK ni Youkoso! and Boku dake ga Inai Machi are both, in my opinion, moving psychological thrillers. Both shows share deep, underlying thematic content that unifies the plot in a meticulous yet exceptional way. Additionally, both shows share an extremely dark tone due to plot elements such as murder (ERASED) and suicide (NHK) present.
As for the main male lead in both shows, both characters have to face their past head-on in order to move forward in life. They are also portrayed rather realistically (i.e. not an anime archetype) and can be relatable to a niche of the general population.
