Both are mecha shows set in a post-apocalyptic backdrop with large, alien enemies and similar themes.
Both are Mecha, and both have very intricate stories involving love, death and of course, the end of the world.
They are both dramatic mecha series about teenage protagonists and strange new alien lifeforms.
Both fiture godlike aliens attacking earth,while humans try to fight them off using mechs made from their technology.

If the character designer of Gundam SEED and Xebec attempted to make RahXephon, you would get Fafner. The 2 shows have more of a focus on making you think using symbolism (and some mindf*cks), but without coming off as cheesy like a certain mecha franchise by Satelight.
