Synopsis:

Throughout Tokyo, a frightening number of construction Labors have begun to suddenly go berserk and violently malfunction. The growing chaos of Tokyo is overshadowed by the looming edifice of the Babylon Project, the lynchpin of Japan's plan to reclaim the land under Tokyo Bay. To make matters worse, its lead architect recently committed suicide by throwing himself off of it into the waves below. How will the Metropolitan Police's Division 2 investigate the malfunctions in the midst of world-wide destruction, when the reliability of their own Labors lies in doubt?

Bateau
Great storytelling in both of these shows. Very in depth, and action packed. Also both shows are from the same director! Oshii rocks.

Both have an engaging plot, good background music, interesting protagonists, nice action and ambience, and deal with robots.
Roaziel

Both are told in a similar fashion thanks to master film director Mamoru Oshii. The atmospheres and moods are very similar and both deal with solving a mystery in a world with mechas.

Gasaraki

Aside from both focusing on Mecha, both also focus on a more political and social side to the story. Action isn't the most important thing going on. It's the political and social backdrop that both series -in my opinion- revolve around.
