Much to her delight and surprise, Haruka was selected to become an "idol." Little did she know what she was getting herself into; rather than singing and dancing, she actually is employed by a secret organization that protects the Earth from "drops" (falling fragments of the destroyed moon) using giant robots called "iDOL," piloted by girls called "iDOL Masters." As she meets new friends and tries to adjust to this new life, a hostile organization that also utilizes iDOL emerges and attacks her in an effort to capture her iDOL, Imber. Can Haruka accept her new responsibilities, get along with her new peers and Imber, and do her part to protect the world?

Two shows that feature girls as the main characters, having top weaponry at their disposal trying to save everyone. The plots feature similar elements, like the element of betrayal.
These anime are so similar to each other, for the first few episodes I genuinely thought Idolmaster was an official sequel to the Mai-## series. Similar characters, story line and even the artwork is very much like this one. If I had to choose, though, I'd watch Mai-Otome sooner than Idolmaster.
In the year 1988 Jinki model enthusiast Aoba Tsuzaki is kidnapped and brought to Venezuela, and soon discovers that not only are Jinkis real, but that she will also become a Jinki pilot. Fast forward to the year 1991, and a series of unexplained events known as the Lost Life Phenomenon has been wiping entire cities out of existence. Enter Akao Hiragi, a young girl who has lost her memory and also has a strange tie to the Jinkis. Combined, Aoba and Akao have a common enemy: the evil Kokushou, a man who is hell bent on destroying the world!
The main appeal of both Jinki and Xenoglassia is girls piloting giant robots with occasional fanservice.
Several years after the incident in Amazawa town, Chinami Ebihara is now a member of an organization - founded by Sonomi Kujo - called OZ. Like its rival Foundation, OZ studies those with the special power known as 'Type-E' - the ability to affect electrical devices. However, while OZ wishes to help Type-E users gain control of their powers and be productive members of society, Foundation wishes to gain their power through force and use them for unknown purposes. Along with a fellow Type-E user named Maori, Chinami goes on missions to determine Foundation's motives and protect other Type-E users from their grip.
School age girls blessed by innate abilities trying to force their version of justice upon the world. Teamwork and interpersonal relationships often mix, sometimes in not so positive ways.
The universe of the future is divided between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT. After a year of war, ZAFT attacks the neutral colony Heliopolis to steal five prototype mobile suits. The mission is a success, but a young man named Kira stumbles upon the fifth Gundam, and he may be the Alliance's only hope...
Gundam SEED and Idol Master Xenoglossia are typical Sunrise Studio productions, featuring great mecha battles, a wide range of characters and a good plot.
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.
Both feature the classic premise of:
1. Fight the enemy to prevent the end of the world
2. Angsty teenagers 'Synchronizing' with Mechas
3. A love story thrown in for good measure, although RaXephon's love story actually involves a person-person relationship as opposed to the person-mecha thing in iDOLM@STER.
