Both feature a main cast of nine numbered individuals, who were essentially created as 'tools' to serve a specific purpose. No. 5 also occasionally features a promotional show where the characters in the show wear costumes directly referencing the costumes of the Cyborgs. The artstyle for these segments also imitate the Cyborg 009 manga.

If you enjoying seeing post-apocalyptic wastelands in style reminiscent of Moebius, take a look at No. 5. The stories and characters a very different and No. 5 prefers deserts, surrealism and action to flying and the jungle. 
reportRecommended by Chaostrooper
Both take place in a fantasy world where technology is limited and somewhat frowned down upon. Each deal with the issue of Freedom vs. Peace: "The price of freedom is war or that of peace, tyranny. People who value peace above all will sacrifice liberty to get it. Those who value freedom above all will sacrifice peace to achieve it." The tyrant of each is an almost god-like figure somewhat feared and enamored by the protagonist. Eventually they each have to face their tyrant.
