The main characters in each show (specifically Nagara in Sonny Boy and Casshern in Casshern Sins) are stuck in a place they don't know, and don't know why. They both are in a depressed state because they don't understand the world around them or why things are the way they are, but they want to know. Both stories take place in worlds that initially seem completely empty. Both stories are bleak and melancholic, but also bittersweet. They are both profound, almost too much, but still manage to be engaging and have a lot happen. Time is basically irrelevant in both shows.

Both concern journeys without clear destinations, split into vignettes of the characters' experiences along the way. Both are interested in isolation, decay, guilt for crimes unknown and an inability to return to normality.
Both also have a sort of otherworldliness to them, in a way that runs deeper than Sonny Boy's surreal imagery. They made me feel similar emotions watching them.
