Ergo Proxy

The main male character is a guy with a red suit/raincoat, and he alternates his behavior from clumsy/awkward to formidable and almost invincible when needed. So, Vincent Law and Vash look very similar as suit and nature.
Similar settings, strong cast of characters for both anime. Both contain themes of survival in the face of adversity and teach lessons of comion. Trigun is more action oriented while Ergo Proxy is more philosophical.
I’m honestly shocked this isn’t the main reccomendation, let alone not even top 5. I don’t want to spoil anything bc like Ergo Proxy, I think Trigun is best viewed the first time with little information but I will say they are incredibly similar. Trigun has more comedic relief and Ergo Proxy is much more ambitious, but they cover the same themes and both revolve around conflicting philosophical ideologies. Nietzche is a large influence on both as well.
