Both are action-packed anime and came out in a similar time period (late 1980's-early 1990's) with similar animation, similar vibe, and a similar dark sci-fi tone. Both anime take place in the future and feature an evil organization which experiments on people. The main protagonist in both anime goes berserk after being subject to sadistic violence and madness. Both anime has a lot of violence, blood, and gore. If you liked one, you'd like the other.

These two old sci-fi anime have a similar dark futuristic sci-fi tone to them as they are filled with blood, gore and ultra violence. They both have government experimentation of people to be used as weapons and our main character going crazy with mad power.

Akira and Genocyber are both interesting classic anime. While Akira is by far the more popular and successful series, both have quite a few similarities.
Both are super action packed with that old school anime violence, although Genocyber is far more gruesome. I'd even argue it's one of the most brutal series out there.
Without getting into spoilers Akira and Genocyber also have similar themes about scientific experimentation, uncontrollable power, and war.
If you like Genocyber I can pretty much guarantee you'll like Akira. And if you like Akira, then there's a good chance you'll like genocyber.
