Kurogane no Linebarrels
Synopsis:
AD 2019: the giant mecha known as LINEBARREL falls to Earth, grabbing the attention of the anti-machina organization JUDA. Before JUDA can arrive on the scene, an unfortunate accident occurs: LINEBARREL crashes into Kouichi Hayase, a weak and frail pushover of a boy. Waking up underneath a beautiful naked woman, Kouichi discovers that he now possesses great power and can summon LINEBARREL for his own purposes. All Kouichi has wanted is to become a hero of justice and hold his own, instead his childhood friends Yajima and Risako fighting his battles for him – and now he finally has that chance. With LINEBARREL's power, Kouichi becomes cocky and aggressive, lashing out at those he cares about most; and as a 'hero of justice', Kouichi must find his new place in the world and protect himself from two organizations who want their hands on LINEBARREL.

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 recBoth of these shows have mecha of course, i think they give you the same kind of feeling watching them. Also, for the most part, the romance in both shows are one sided, in full metal panic, sousuke is oblivious that the girl likes him, and in kurogane no linebarrels, the guy likes the girl but the girl just finds him disgusting. I think everyone that likes one would easily like the other. =)

add recThe plot of these two series are extremely similar where the intention of the enemy is the major twist and pivot point of the story. If you liked the idea of the story in linebarrels, gurren-lagann will blow you away! They are both mecha too! ;)

add recThe shows are equally as good and have a lot of the same elements. The main characters are both naive young men who want to make a difference and yearn for a world that they believe is perfect. There is a girl who comes out of nowhere and introduces the young man to the means of getting his "perfect world" although those ideals are slowly shaped to be a more fitting way of seen the world instead of the young man's naive version of what "justice" is. And (I have to say it), of course both of them involve giant robots fighting to the death.
