Both shows take place after an otherworldly phenomenon changed life as we know it. In Darker than Black, it's Hell's Gate, in Gilgamesh, it's Heaven's Gate--go figure. The associated phenomenons are directly related to certain individuals acquiring mysterious powers. Darker than Black is brighter and more entertaining than Gilgamesh and the powers are much more interesting and varied, but the setup is similar.
Both Darker than Black and Gilgamesh begin when a large-scale disaster changes the earth's sky (in Gilgamesh, it becomes reflective; in Darker than Black, a fake sky with fake stars appear, from where shuttles do not return), and, for some reason, gives certain individuals super-powers.
Both series are heavily focused on city-life, and even share the name of where the incident happened, Heaven's Gate, though Darker than Black goes one further and adds a Hell's Gate to the mix.

Both shows use a very similar world and scenario. In both a dimensional door named Heavens Gate opens and humanity's dealing with this leads to a world-changing global catastrophe. The sky is scorched and there are mass fatalities. As a result of the event, super-powered individuals appear among the humans.
The stories themselves are quite different. Gilgamesh is dark and psychological, while Darker Than Black is more action oriented. And despite DtB having "dark" in the title, it's by far the "lighter" version of the scenario - which says something about how extraordinarily sinister Gilgamesh is.
