Burst Angel
Alt titles: Bakuretsu Tenshi
Synopsis:
In the future, Tokyo has fallen victim to syndicates, trigger-happy people who run rampant and other groups who don't like to follow the rules. In response, an organization called RAPT has been created, whose goal is to maintain their definition of "peace". In the underground, however, science involving humans and powerful mechanics is progressing at a steady phase, but for what purpose? Meet our four angels who know how to kick butt and raise hell whenever it's needed. Their motto? Shoot first, talk later. Their mission? To make the seemingly impossible possible, of course...

Black Lagoon
- TV (12 eps)
- 2006
Okajima Rokuro is a small-time salary man who is carrying documents for his company, when the ship he's traveling on is attacked by pirates. Kidnapped, he discovers to his dismay that his employers' main concern is to ensure the documents don't get into the wrong hands, even if it means sending the carrier to the bottom of the sea. Now, with his former life ruined and his kidnappers seeming comparatively friendly, "Rock" decides to join their merry band of mercenaries, and sets out with a new career to the shadier corners of the South China Sea.

add recThese two series are very similar; in fact, both of them feature female double-gun-wielding heroines as part of a mercenary squad. The story starts with a regular guy joining the respective squads, and further accomplishing missions. Except from the fact that Burst Angel features mecha and Black Lagoon does not, these anime have similar structure and feeling, and if you liked one, you're bound to like the other.
Burst Angel and Black Lagoon both feature two women who love nothing more than to shoot things. If you like Burst Angel, you will love the more complex and entertaining story of Black Lagoon; in it, the main characters aren't good guys but they aren't bad either. The characters are original and thrilling and will convince you to stay out of back alleys. Revy is the quintessential female shooter with her no-nonsense attitude and two-sword cutlass.
If you liked Burst Angel I you will probably like Black Lagoon too since both series contain very much action. Whilst Black Lagoon is a bit more serious than Burst Angel it still has the feeling of a kickass girl going on a rampage.
Both contain gun slinger girls who can out shoot any other person on the show. Both gunslingers get a look in their eyes that tells you they mean business and will show no mercy for those that stand in their way
loved the serie by the simple fact that the main character is a kick ass, trashy mouth, moody girl that can double shot everything? Then it's a must watch. Both series have these super agressive girls with a "I'm going to kill you" stare. Things are so feisty on those series that I bet something's exploding as you are reading this rec...
Full Metal Panic!
- TV (24 eps)
- 2002
Gonzo does it again with this action-packed mecha comedy. She's an ordinary high school girl. He's a counterterror agent assigned to protect her from those who would steal the information locked in her mind. OK, so she's not so normal after all. Armored Slave battles and lovers' spats abound as Sousuke and his comrades try to track down the mysterious Gauln before it's too late.

add recBoth FMP and Burst Angel are about mecha action without the light shows that Gundam provides. For you mecha lovers, you can't go wrong with either one.
Both Burst Angel and FMP have great mecha action and they have quite a lot of sad moments. In FMP you will find what you like, plus a lot of comedic scenes.
I really enjoy a show with a good storyline, plenty of action and some likeable characters. Both FMP and Burst Angel feature these in aplenty. Not usually being a mech fan, I found myself engrossed in giant robots battling away, as this is not the main focus of either series.
If you enjoy all of the features listed above, I really recommend the above shows as something a little more interesting than most.

add recBurst Angel and Cowboy Bebop are about mercenaries and have characters that just plain kick butt. While watching Burst Angel, I thought to myself, "this must be what Cowboy Bebop would be like if they were all girls." They are enjoyable shows for any fans of non-stop action.
Kiddy Grade
In the distant future many things have changed. Worlds are colonized and people travel the stars freely. The GOTT (Galactic Organization of Trades and Tarifs) exists to maintain order and peace along the galaxies. Enter two ES members. Eclair and Lumiere. They are sent on missions to keep the universal peace, under the flag of GOTT. But soon they come to realize that there is more going on behind the scenes than they previously imagined...

add recBoth Kiddy Grade and Burst Angel feature strong feminine characters working in groups under organizations. Like Kiddy Grade, Burst Angel also features the theme of underlying treachery within an organization that is intended to be helping people. The amount of fighting action is also similar, as well as the relationships between the characters. Overall, both of these anime have similar themes, characters, and ending results.
Well, both series contain action, cool outfits and cute chicks as main heroines. In my opinion Kiddy Grade is a bit better than Burst Angel because of it's plot. But on second thought both series are equally watchable. The main similiarity are the badass chicks knowing everything, from hand to hand fighting, up to controlling jackass Mobile Suits aka "Gunndams" ^^.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Alt titles: Evangelion
In the future, a devastating event known as Second Impact destroyed Tokyo as we know it, giving rise to the current day Tokyo III, a city under siege by mysterious lifeforms known only as Angels. Mankind's only defense are Evangelions, man-made machines piloted by Rei, Shinji, and Asuka, all who are the tender age of fourteen. The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.
