Both have plenty of frantic exaggerated action. The kinds of things we wouldn't see from regular people and yet there are emotions that are deeply familiar. A sense of belonging, wanting some place to call home, universal kinds of longing in all the craziness.
The same whacky humor, you don't know whats going on unless you watch the episodes a couple times and then are still confused. Over the top humor, over the top characters, over the top everything.

FLCL and Kyousou Giga not only shares similar artwork and backgrounds but also with its explicit presentation in terms of comedy, action, and fun. The main female characters from both series are similar with their explosive energy and personality.
More so however is the comedy from both series. The dialogues are catchy and provides feedback of fun that also balances itself with emotional scenes. There are also elements mixed in that is quite eye gluing with the way it presents itself.
Very similar art and direction styles, with a lot of crazy action and bright colors, and both containing stories that deal with growing up. FLCL is more focused on one aspect of growing up and is a bit faster-paced, while Kyousou Giga is more focused on family. Somewhat similar music in certain parts. Can't see any reason why a fan of one series wouldn't be a fan of the other.

Both series solve their other worldly problems by using blunt force trauma.

So, first of all Im going to say that when I was introduced to the 2012 ONA of Kyousougiga, I said to myself "this will be the new FLCL". Not in terms of popularity, but in just how it plays out. You are so over run with awesome and mystifying things that you find out later have a point and a deep emotional appeal. I was just so happy the first time i saw it (and ATT it was only at Ep 1 of 2012 ONA) that the Mirror Capital became a place I could fantasize about.
Total fantasy is what diverges this

Both series feature:
-Unconventional, quirky direction
-An initially confusing and potentially disorienting plot that becomes clearer as time passes
-Frenetic, explosive action
-Wonderful OSTs which fit their respective series perfectly
-Rich exploration of many themes and ideas (FLCL's main focus is puberty/coming-of-age, whereas Kyousou Giga's is family)

Both are chaotically trippy and wild stories with a female lead getting into all kinds of shenaigans around the world.

Both have an energetic female main character that wields a special world-destroyingly powerful weapon, both take place in a setting where normalcies are rare, both have a great deal of symbolism, both have amazingly fast-paced narrative, both deal with familial issues as a main thematic, both are structurally similar in story and visuals, both don't essentially want to be understood, and both have a unique and exaggerated art style.
