Gundam Wing
Alt titles: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Synopsis:
The year is After Colony 195, and mankind is in the midst of a seemingly endless ongoing war between the Space Colonies and the ones who created them: the people of Earth. To give the Colonies the advantage, five mobile suits called Gundams were created. Equipped with enhanced technology and extremely talented young pilots, these are the ultimate machines of war. While Relena Peacecraft pleads for peace, Heero Yui leads the Gundams into the battle with Earth to attain it. As their personalities and visions clash, their goal is the same: freedom for all and peace at last.

Full Metal Panic!

- 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 recThese are two anime series about men who take themselves way too seriously. In Gundam Wing, Heero Yui is a freedom fighter for the space colonies who takes his missions quite seriously and is willingly to complete them at any cost. During the midst of all the fighting Heero finds himself entangled with the pacifist Relena Peacecraft.
Like Heero Yui in Gundam, Sousuke Sagara is a teenage soldier assigned to protect Kaname Chidori, but he soon figures out this will not be an easy task. Between his lack of common sense and her explosive personality this series makes for a laugh out loud spectacle. Sasuke and Heero sure do have their work cut out for them! Though Gundam pushes more to the serious side of this mecha genre both series are highly recommended.
If mechas and a badass main character is your thing, then Full Metal Panic! is highly recommended. Sousuke could even be considered Heero's twin brother.
Both of these Animes deal with Mech action, and some of the best out there by the way, while also having some romance in there. Also the main character of both are so like eachother its scary.

add recEvangelion is similar to Gundam Wing in terms of giant robots. In this show, young children have to face aliens named as "Angels" who are for some reason invading Earth. In the midst of it all, the mysterious organization known as SEELE is preparing for a project that will affect all of mankind. The effects of the battles though are much more in depth than many shows and it deals with them on not only a physical basis, but also a psychological one. If you were into the mystery and psychological effects of warfare of Gundam Wing, Evangelion is the one for you!
Both shows feature a young male teenager who happens to maneuver an ultimate fighting robot to protect his home - and destroy the enemies'. They follow the formulaic mecha storyline.
However, both take time to develop the lead characters well. To the point of taking the audience into a psychological journey of each of the prime male lead (shinji and heero). and as teenagers amidst war - torn between prevailing principles of the peace and complicated politics - both show strongly angsty and anxious behaviour as they fulfill their duties.
Escaflowne
Alt titles: Vision of Escaflowne
- TV (26 eps)

add recBoth Gundam Wing and Escaflowne are about a group of people fighting in a time of war to bring peace to their worlds. Also, both anime have mecha.
If you like mecha, you're going to love Escaflowne and Gundam Wing. They are full of action and drama, and have great fights between awesome robots.
Both are short series, but even if they weren't, the action in them won't let you get bored. Enjoy the wings in each series.
Other than the obvious of these two series being mech related. You find yourself compairing the one with the other. The main hero in both series carry the same attitude. As well there is a certain level of honor that is kept between the hero and main villian. In both series you have yourself a perfect blend of suspense, action and a touch of romance.
