Synopsis:

Tomoru Shindo yearns to become a pilot and taste adventure, but the rigid structure of his advanced society leaves him bored and wishing he was born into the chaos and romance of the past. This simple wish turns into reality when a chance encounter with a Dr Kanzaki gets him involved with the greatest conflict that will engulf Earth yet: the invasion of Earth by the alien race, the Evoluders. Dr Kanzaki was building an Evoluder whose data had reached Earth, and Tomoru finds that he can link to it and access its memories. Its name is Orgun, and seems to have a connection to Tomoru, and Tomoru's past...

Both are epic stories about saving what means most to each person. The characters are deep and well thought out with great back stories that let you get to know them even more. If you liked one i'm sure you will like the other!

If your like me, you really like that 90's mecha feel. it was before the CG had come in and the machines moved and flashed by the screen with detail that you know someone sweated hours and hours over.

It also helps that both are OAV's so the money was not as much an object as if it was a TV series.

So if your looking for another short Mecha series and you have already seen one, try the other. The stories are not really that close in relation, but mecha is mecha, especially in the 90's

If what you enjoyed most about Detonator Orgun is the themes about salvation and the plot, and don't mind watching an anime that shares these but sheds the action and length in favour of art and direction, then be sure to watch Pale Cocoon.
