A great fighting anime that uses the idea of materializing weapons to fight with, only in Scryed they use Alters, not Gates, and the organization they are fighting against isn't a bunch of mindless drones.

RahXephon

Kamina Ayato may seem like an average boy in a devastated world, but after being captured by TERRA, a military organization set on saving the world from the Mu, an alien race set on "tuning" the world, he realizes he is an instrument in deciding the fate of humanity and piloting RahXephon. Not only is Ayato the only person who can control the mecha, but he also has a terrible fate of his own. Holding onto memories of his old life and grasping to keep his own humanity, he must struggle in this new world and realize his true potential with RahXephon.

They don't have many obvious things in common, but I found the atmosphere to be very similar between these two, and a similar blend of dramatic action and lighthearted comedy.

X is darker and deals more with the mystical, but both are apocalyptic stories, and both have the theme of humans wasting and destroying our own planet.

Girls use unusual powers to fight invading aliens. F17 is slower paced, and also has a lot of lighthearted, slice-of-life type of stuff as well.

A well-designed fighting anime where the characters use the elements to fight eachother, much the same as Gatekeepers use gates to fight. TU is one epic storyline though, unlike Gatekeepers that is fairly episodic.
