FLCL

FLCL

Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

Clearly, Dead Leaves is a lot like FLCL and vice versa. Dead Leaves even manages to shame FLCL as far as weird animation, but both are VERY high octane in general.
noisymouse
Similar slick animation style, similar craziness, and despite the insanity, a similar sense of a plot after everything is all said and done. Dead Leaves is meant for a bit more mature of an audience, but still, definately an obvious recommendation.
SirNiXXon
Dead Leaves and FLCL match in the frantic rhythm permeating both. The wild animation and fast paced storytelling in FLCL, along with lots of non-sense and distorted humour, will certainly please most people who liked Dead Leaves. They cannot be compared in depth, though, since, even if having an interesting story, Dead Leaves is as shallow as it can be, when put side-by-side with FLCL.
hurin

These are similar in their fast pacing, crazy action scenes and animation style.

FLCL is by far superiour to Dead Leaves. The latter will often use shock value for the sake of shock value but the action scenes alone are enough to warrant a look.

styln

Both Dead Leaves and FLCL are incredibly crazy series. The art style differs greatly but they are both are fast paced and some times confusing. They also have that same sort of humor, if you liked one check out the other.

vernanonix

Craziness runs rampent as space outlaws run wild. Both these anime are wild, silly, and just a bit promiscurous. Each has a large amount of laughs as well as some great fights. They both even have, yes it's true, TV-headed sidekicks.

featheredfear

Both have a weird funky feel and wacky story line. There is an odd spacy edge to each of these. FLCL has a slight more seriousness then Dead Leaves which tries more to be crazzy. If you liked one, in my opinion you should check out the other.

OH THE INSANITY!!!!

These are the most random anime I have ever seen. The stedaly moving plot twists have you thinking 'WTF?!' Dead Leaves and FLCL have original music that matches the scenes perfectly. They are not that long; so if you don't have much time before bed it's perfect. I know if you love random Mindf**k animes you'll love these two.

chii

Both are extreamly weird, have a quite unusual/unique animation style, and have lots of randomness at every turn. If you liked one you should like the other. Leave your brain turned off.

Japkid

FLCL and Dead Leaves are similar in animation and the exaggerated story and fast paced action that it holds. They both also use alot of humor, but one thing that is different from FLCL and Dead Leaves is the depth in story since FLCL is spread across 6 eps. while Dead Leaves is just one OVA.

Laughy

Obviously if you enjoy either of these fantastically random enigmas, you have a thing for nonsense, and i'm sure you're wondering where to go more. If that's the case, you'll love both of these shows.

LxTrix

Crazy. Maddness. Random. Those are things these two have in common. You won't truly understand what's going on until the near end and even then you still don't truly understand. They both have great scenes that'll make you ask yourself, what?

Rhesian

I didn't think I'd find something as intensely nuts as FLCL until I watched Dead Leaves.  Both have over-the-top, cartoonish, crude violence sprinkled with vulgar innuendo with a basic framework of a story to keep it all together.

same fast story line and style, dead leaves is even more wicked than FLCL

there also both from the same Director Imaishi Hiroyuki

Tangelax

Dead Leaves is FLCL with 3/4ths the plot, every character is Haruko on crack and it's at twice the speed. Still really fun to watch and if you like the zaniness of FLCL you'll really like Dead Leaves and vice versa.

SkulkerZX

Both FLCL and Dead Leaves operate at an incredible pace. The art styles aren't hugely different, and both series involve insane levels of mindf**k

RedCrossRobbery

FLCL and Dead Leaves have so much in common, it's almost terrifying! FLCL follows an actual storyline (although confusing) whereas Dead Leaves just... doesn't... They are both RIDICULOUS animes, focused around hilarious awkward humor, fantastic artwork, and strange characters. If you like one, you'd like the other.

MugiwaraMarius

Both FLCL and Dead leaves share a breakneck pace and convoluted plots. Both these shows are very playful, never taking themselves too seriously. FLCL and Dead Leaves also have a crazy roster of character that are completely absurd, yet very entertaining.

AmyInWonderland

Dead Leaves was like FLCL times about 10. Complete craziness. The voices seemed alike. And there is another TV head in this one. :-)

HasseRovdjur

Both titles are full of action-packed escapades, innuendo, busy animation and crude humour. FLCL has plot and more focus on the characters while Dead Leaves is more about the action.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

When there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? No, not the Ghostbusters. Call on Panty & Stocking, the two fallen angels Heaven-sent to clear the surface world of Ghosts – creatures spawned from mortals who met gruesome deaths. At least, that's what they'd like you to think. In reality, they're gun-toting, sword-wielding femmes fatales who lay waste not only to the evil of Daten City, but to all its bachelors and candy treats too. With a healthy dollop of collateral damage and full-frontal nudity, they always manage to save the day. If they can be bothered, that is...

Both anime are fast paced, full of action, and random interesting visuals. Tis a treat for the eyes for sure. They both share very crude humour. P&S adds in sexual humour where Dead Leaves is just plain crude. If you enjoyed one you'll probably appreciate the other.

sothis

Dead Leaves and Panty & Stocking combine a unique mix of horrible visuals with crudeness and ass kicking. Fans of one will definitely appreciate the other.

speedyturtle4

Both animes display unique deformed art styles and share a similar sense of pacing and over the top outrageous wackiness. They also both share a pension for crude humor.

hurin

Similar animation style and fast paced action from start to finish. Both feature ecchi content and are aimed at an adult audience.

punkypoison

Both anime are very crude, and have similar animation. They both share a fast paced, and slightly pointless story line. If you enjoyed one of these two anime you are sure to like the other. 

HasseRovdjur

Both anime are crude (especially Panty & Stocking), filled with action, bizarre turn of events and interesting visuals. If you liked one you should do yourself a favour and check out the other.

Nicknames

Both anime are practically identical. They both share the same crazy visuals, the crude humor, and are fast-paced and full of action. If you liked one you should check the other.

Redline

In a time where hover cars reign supreme and wheeled vehicles are a thing of the past, one group of dedicated speedsters aim for the ultimate goal: to compete in the notorious "Redline" race. In a no-holds-barred battle where anything goes from nitro boosters to all-out warfare and dirty tactics, competitors must be prepared for anything. Having lost out in the qualifying Yellowline race, "Sweet" JP finally gets the chance to participate in Redline as a substitute. However, with his car requiring a total rebuild, the Roboworld government using all their military might to prevent the race from happening, and host of the universe’s best racers – including the beautiful Sonoshee Maclaren – to contend with, can JP go for glory and take the checkered flag?

Bizzare, ugly, weird, brassy, kickass, in-one's-face anime titles. Think there's nothing quite like what you just watched? Enjoy some more of the same. Redline's animation is more eye-popping, and Dead Leaves is far more strongly skewed to potty humour but they feel fairly similar.

chii

If you want action and some amazing unique animation to follow check these 2 titles out. Dead Leaves is a little strange humour wise where Redline is all about speed and the race but both have a similar feel that will pull you in and take you for a wild ride.

HasseRovdjur

Both movies are chockfull of attitude and cool visuals. The animation styles are very similar: both are cartoony and use stark shading to great effect. Redline has more plot and better animation, but both are very similar (and unique) and are fun, action-packed romps.

Tekkon Kinkreet

Tekkon Kinkreet

In the rusty and run-down Treasure Town, young orphans in their respective gangs rule the roost and use the landscape as their playground. The violent Black and naïve White are two such orphans who are unafraid of fellow children and Yakuza alike; never have they found a foe who could best them in a battle – until now. A strange man and his even stranger (and seemingly indestructible) henchmen have plans to tear down Treasure Town and erect an amusement park in its place, and they’ll cut down anyone who stands in their way. Can Black and White save their home, and each other?

I enjoyed both of these movies, but not because of the story. Tekkon Kinkreet's plot is a bit simplistic, and not terribly interesting, while I'm not entirely sure Dead Leaves has a plot. Visually, however, both are a treat to watch, and very entertaining. Both also have excellent dubs (I even prefer Dead Leaves's dubbed version over the subbed), which is lucky, because it'd be a shame to detract from the visuals by having to read instead.

RedCrossRobbery

Tekkon Kinkreet and Dead Leaves are both known for their pretty graphics, their amusing action sequences, and furthermore, being straight up WEIRD! Character progression takes a backseat in both animes; Tekkon for artistic angles and confusing plot line, and Dead Leaves for ridiculous comedy and over the top violence.

chuckylover911

Both animes are for mature audiences only. They are both fun, hallarious, crazy and thrilling! The greatest charectors and animation ever!

Thankfully, Hells Angels doesn't suffer from absolute senselessness & toilet humor Dead Leaves is notorious for, yet it boasts equally crazy animation & drive. So, if you like Dead Leaves, check Hells Angels too.

valondar

Loud, garish, bizarrely animated. Hells Angels may have less filthy humour than Dead Leaves and more an attempt at heart, but the utterly weird pulpy story and love of the sheer strangeness of the images either film can conjure up make them a surprisingly good pair. Watched one and still in the mood for something a little off, give the other a go.
