Both Animes center around a capable female protagonist, who have similar personalities. They both deal heavily with android/cyborg forms of life and both take place in a futuristic cyberpunk setting. Ergo Proxy takes on a more gothic, dystopian atmosphere, however if you enjoyed one of these, you are more than likely to enjoy the other.
Both occur in a distant future, both are very psychological and sometimes difficult too understand.
I noticed that machines are fundamental in both stories, and also that they are very similar since they replace many of the things that humans should do. In both animes robots may have souls. Both have also leading female characters.
Both are cyber-punk psychological shows which is surrounded in the questioning of the very fabric of existence.

A human dilemma is confronted in both Ghost in the Shell and Ergo Proxy: when machines gain sentience, what measure are they to humans?
In Ghost, human and cybernetic elements are freely mixed until the line between them blurs, leaving us with a woman like Major Kusanagi. She doesn't even know for sure which one she started out as. Ergo Proxy takes a different path by having humans stay pure as they advance their robots to the point where they start getting "infected" with emotion, or maybe souls.
For intellectuals who like cyberpunk and intense visuals.
