Both written in the late 90's, dark and gritty themes, violence, supernatural, mystery, thriller, I got the same feeling watching both of these shows. Both deal with relatively mature topics. Both stories are somewhat difficult to follow if you are not paying attention meaning you will get more out of subsequent rewatches.

Supernatural happenings in the big city. Both have unconventional ways of telling a story and have large casts of characters each with their own motivations and goals. Boogiepop is darker and gritter than Durarara, but both deal with supernatural beings that are found in myth and lore throughout the world all while living in a hectic concrete jungle. Each both have compelling stories with meaningful drama and terrific characters.

Same director, same guy on music. If you liked the vibe that sonny boy had, then you'll like boogiepop as well. 
report Recommended by Levku
Both series have a nonlinear, non-obvious, avant garde style of storytelling. The effect of this is that one has to be in complete attention while watching the show or it will be confusing and difficult to follow.

Both Series start of small but will lead to something grand in the end. Both Series are set in a Urban Setting. Both Series make you think a lot while watching them.

Honestly it's the most similar show out of every other recommended here. Both are severely underrated by people who watch 1-3 ep and don't understand the plot and both have extremely complex story telling which might be hard for some to understand but if you get into them both, you'll find them to be quite brilliant. Enjoy.

Both have an "organization" of edgy teenagers wishing to "remake" the world as villains. But in execution, Boogiepop is less edgy overall and rather a hope story, with Narutaru going to the downer side.

Both are very mysterious in plot and characters. Both have violent and bloody parts.

Nonlinear storytelling with supernatural elements and a mystery theme 
report Recommended by Alex_Run1
Both anime follow the stories of a wide cast of characters, around a number of strange or terrible occurrences around them. The occurrences are set up as their own unique stories, which can be independent from one another if not for the shared characters. 
report Recommended by ScarletCelestial
Both series are dark mysteries with horror elements that tackle mature themes and employ non-chronological storytelling.
