Both anime are about a likable group of characters traveling in space and their pursuit for cold, hard cash.

Both anime have a villain whose past is connected in some way with that of the protagonist's. Finally, both anime have a classic last episode.

Basically, these are two stories with tortured protagonists and charismatic white-haired swordsmen becoming villains.

Both anime have the same composer (Kuniaki Haishima), both series have creepy theme songs, and both have Karen Strassman in the cast. To a deeper extent, both anime deal with self-discovery and they venture into the more philosophical ideas of life. Both Monster and Requiem are dark, deep series with few moments dedicated to humor. There's a huge element of mystery in both series and, in the end, you'll enjoy Requiem from the Darkness if you liked Monster.

Both series has a character that loses an eyeball. Both series have memorable theme songs (more so in Bebop than Black Cat).
