face deja vu

The main character of "Texhnolyze" is SO familiar to me. His face, his hair, the hooded sweatshirt, even the style he's drawn in, and it's especially strong at certain angles and in certain shots. I am trying to figure out where I've seen either this character, or some other character extremely similar to this one, before. Not placing it yet.
I mean, it's one weird feeling trying to place the face of a live human that reminds you of someone. For some reason it feels weirder to me having that feeling about, and trying to place the reminder of, an anime character.
I'm getting memory flashes of... character sketches... artbook pages... or something. Still shots. And yet, this is not an artist whose work I'm particularly familiar with to have seen books from before, or even other series (I know the same artist did "Serial Experiments Lain," but I haven't seen it). I'm just not sure where I'd have seen this character before. I've even wondered... is it that the character is reminding me of a live person? I don't think that's the case though. I'm pretty sure it's another character, or an art piece, that he reminds me of. The last few nights watching episodes of this series, the "reminds me of" feeling keeps happening over and over, and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out where I've seen the character before or what he's reminding me of that I've seen before. I wish I could place it.
