Sharing what I found out today...
While I was watching Tokyo Godfathers, I noticed at 52:37 that those rubbles looked like the ones in the opening sequence of Paranoia Agent at 0:38 ...
paranoia agent OP = /watch?v=-anabfAg06U
MIND=BLOWN
I actually paused the movie as of this writing to search the opening song ang lo and behold, I was right xD

Interesting.
Can't stop the signal.
Well spotted. According to the Paranoia Agent commentaries, most of the backgrounds in the series OP were lifted and adapted from Kon's previous works. The pedestrian crossing in Tokyo Godfathers at 47:24 (R2 DVD) is another prominent example. There's a post on his blog about those opening titles: http://konstone.s-kon.net/modules/moso/index.php?content_id=25
Also, I once added a couple of other Mousou crossovers to the connections page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388473/movieconnections?ref_=tttrv_ql_6
Both are products of Madhouse studio, so that makes sense.
