Gunparade March

Another mecha series...... it does involve love, comedy , mecha , highschool students.... A great series

A little more fanservice, a little more action, a little less of a focus on everyday life -- Full Metal Panic! is a well-executed take on the teenagers/mecha angle of shounen anime.

Teenagers, mechas, all twisted in a love story makes these 2 series very similar imo.

Both animes have much Mecha action, and both share the theme of growing up, and relations between young people. Gunparade March takes place in a parallel reality where the earth is taken over by aliens, Full Metal Panic has also futuristic elements, such as the mechas, weapons etc. but this scenario is more realistic. Both animes are packed with a good portion of humor and love. If you liked one of them I'm sure you will like the other too

Both FMP and Gunparade march are mecha shows that focuses a lot mor on the characters than on the actual mechafighting. They feature romance, comedy, drama and action in a very good mix. Character designs are beutiful, especialy in FMP (think Tessa, Chidori). Both are enjoyable throughout the show and I promise you won't regret seeing either one of them.

Both series center around both mech fighting and the relationship between the two main characters. FMP seems to center more around the action, while GM focuses on the relationship more. Full Metal Panic, being longer, has an overall better storyline, but if you liked one, you would surely like the other. Neither is even remotely original, but both are highly enjoyable to watch.

Once again young love blossoms in the shadow of war and gigantic robots. Ya it has been played to death but it still works in my opinion.

You must definitely watch Gunparade March and Full Metal Panic. They are both mecha/school life anime with humour and action. I think that the most enjoyable things are comedic parts. FMP has more action parts than Gunparade March, which is maybe because it has more episodes than GM. GM doesn't have much room for action because the love story is important and needs more episodes to "grow up." :)

Both series explore themes of love and war in a mecha-based environment, capturing beautifully the awkwardness of young relationships. Neither shie from showing death and violence, but it is never gratuitous. 'Full Metal Panic' seems to be better known than 'Gunparade March', but this is rather unfair, because they're doing a similar thing, and they're doing it incredibly well. Both are recommended viewing in my book.

Both of these anime's require a very quiet... military driven character to get along with a random outgoing character.... They both involve machines and fighting, they both have a romantic sub-storyline... so many similarities. If you liked one, you're sure to like the other.

The main characters of both Gunparade March and Eva have the same personality types. They all fight evil alien invaders using giant robots as well. So if you liked one take a look at the other.

Both anime's incorporate mecha fighting on earth, with a plot driven storyline... Though Neon Genesis Evangelion doesn't have as much romance, they are both intense in the battles and show the sadness of a fallen friend...

If you liked the slice of life daily sci-fi feel of Gunparade March, Stellvia is definitely something you should check out. Though it boasts a far heftier plot, it still has the same sort of character development and slower feel to it. I thought both shows were amazing anyways! If you liked GM, definitely give Stellvia a try.

The idea of fighting to protect those we care about doesn't have to be the main subject of an anime. Both Gunparade March and Stellvia show us who their pilots are and how they interact with each other, in addition to a romantic side story.
