Both of these emotional anime revolve around a rather cynical male protagonist and an optimistic robot girl who brings some semblance of joy into his life. While Planetarian takes place in a dystopian future, Kowarekake no Orgel takes place in a society more akin to our own.

I like the idea of a guy finding a very likeable robot girl, and that it is a very emotional story. I like Planetarian a bit more, because the story has a deeper meaning to it.

They are both a bit short sci-fi dramas and I really think you will enjoy this one if you liked another.

Both anime focus on characters who go through elaborate lengths in a world with limited resources to achieve a modest goal.  Ascendance of a Bookworm is about achieving a life surrounded by books in a world where only wealthy people can afford them. Plenetarian is about an android who wishes to bring joy to people with her presentation in a post apocalyptic world without electricity and without customers.

Ergo Proxy

Ergo Proxy

In a futuristic world almost barren of life, mankind is confined to mechanized domed cities where A.I.’s control all aspects of life. In this world, humans are no longer born, they are manufactured in a production line; and alongside them live androids known as autoreivs. Within one of these domed sanctuaries named Romdeau lives Re-l Mayer, one of a few citizens who aren’t entirely prevented from thinking. Her grandfather's prominent position and the affection of the scientist Daedalus have left her more free will than is normally allowed, but Re-l has started to question the sanctity of the city and the citizens' perfect way of life. With mysterious beings known as proxies causing havoc and a man named Vincent causing great influence on her life, Re-l must travel outside of the city to find the answers she seeks and discover the mystery behind "the awakening".

Vexille: 2077 Isolation of Japan

Vexille: 2077 Isolation of Japan

Disturbed by Japan’s emergence as the de facto world leader in robotics, the United Nations instituted an international treaty requiring stringent regulations. When vocal objections failed to overturn the decision, Japan chose to withdraw from the UN and vanished from world view in a self-imposed isolation made possible by an impenetrable electromagnetic barrier. Now, ten years later in 2067, the only means of contact between Japan and the world belongs to Daiwa Heavy Industries, a powerful corporation monopolizing the world’s robotics market. The uneasy truce comes under question when SWORD, a U.S. special forces unit, finds disturbing evidence that Japan may have sinister designs for the rest of the world. SWORD must now infiltrate Japan to separate fact from fiction, but is anyone prepared for the truth?

Their only hope for survival is to devour the one known as Casshern… or so they believe. Meanwhile, Casshern himself has lost all memory of his past. Why are these robots attacking him? Did he really kill the one known as Luna; the Sun that was called Moon? And why is he, alone, unaffected and undamaged by the ruin?
