Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

Okay, these animes are extremely different... but they are still alike
Both revolve around a girl who has powers that can alter reality
Serial experients lain is a lot more confusing, and the Melancholy of Haruh Suzumiya has a lot more comedy, but I really enjoyed both series so...

Both series involve "god" undergoing an existential crisis with similar elements to their character arcs. Kyon is to Haruhi what Arisu (Alice) is to Lain. Their arc conclusions are diametrically opposed from one another and both involve the overcoming of escapism through human connection. Both works don't give clear answers as to what's the true nature of the world and what Haruhi or Lain actually is. Both narratives can be considered scattered, Haruhi in order to reinforce the sense of everything seeming out of place and Lain to tie to its themes of connection.
