Very similar characters. Both involve a guy who can't remember his past traveling a wasteland searching for his purpose. They each have some action and involve lots of philosophizing.
Dark and serious, both series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. We have male protagonists who can't remember their past.

In this anime, the main character,Casshern, starts a journey to find out the truth about himself, his past.
In Ergo Proxy, Vincent Law, is also uncertain about his past. He has a double personality. Along with other characters he wants to find the truth about himself and his other side.
The world were the action takes place is similar, it is coming to and end, a world were humans don't have the control over it. The robots become aware of their own existence.
Both series play in a very apocalyptic world and have male protagonists who can't remember their past.
In a post-apocalyptic world the main character goes on a journey to regain his lost memories and learn the truth of his past self.
They both include a main character who doesn't know his identity and searches for his truth and purpose. Both have a gloomy atmosphere around alot of ruin.
If you like very grey, bleak, and dismal settings, full of characters that are just as confused about the world as you are, then these are two great series. Lots of moral ambiguity is present in the journeys that both will take you on. The protagonists are also similar in that they don't fully understand the world or who they are/what their purpose is until later on. Watching that journey is fascinating. Casshern is certainly much slower paced, but they both do a great job of conveying the mood of the broken society that the stories take place in.
Similar feel. Post-apocalyptic world/waste-land. A main character with no memories of who he is. Philosophy thrown everywhere. A girl who's interested in the MC. A small girl/female robot accompanying the MC, kinda. Some well-animated action once in a while.
Both of them have a similar atmosphere, a post-apocalyptic world where hope is nowhere to be found, where death is faced each moment. While Casshern Sins has more physical fights Ergo Proxy is more of a mindfuck ride.

Both are very dark and dreary and have a similar atmosphere.
Both take place in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world.
Casshern Sins is more accessible than Ergo Proxy because it is easier to understand.

What will happen if we don't have memories about our past?
Ergo Proxy and Casshern Sins are anime which have been setting up in the post apocalyptic world, where humanity almost reaching their end. Our protagonist in both series, do not have any memories related to their past which led them to confusion about their identity and the purpose of their existence. Both have been pushed to take a journey because everyone who get involved with them usually end up in a problem or even died. Both also have a special ability that make then a really strong characters in their series.

Both series involve a main protagonist wandering through a dystopian wasteland searching for the truth while not remembering a single thing about their past. Both protagonists are joined by an interested female character and a small child throughout their journey. Both series also touch upon the relationship between humans & robots who are self aware.
There are some minor differences. Ergo Proxy focuses more on the overall story which can be rather confusing at times while Casshern Sins is more episodic in nature while touching on an overall plot that is relatively easy to understand. If you liked one series you'll probably like the other.

Both anime are set in post apocalyptic worlds where the main character is of huge importance in the events surrounding the disruption of the world. The MCs in both instances do not recall exactly who they are and must find the missing information of themselves and their role in everything.
Both anime have sections where the story becomes episodic
The 2 anime feature the core element of corrupted (self aware) Robots who revolt and endanger mankind.
