Synopsis:

In the year 2010 the Mars Exploration Vessel, returning to tell its secrets, fell to the Earth in a fiery blaze. Several months later, strange creatures known as Ancients walk the streets of Tokyo, brutally murdering anyone who gets in their way. In response to these incidents, the AAST – the Anti unidentified Ancients Special Team – has been created to subdue the threat. With the help of Hinata Takeru, a high school student who wears the Anti-Ancient Suit Mars, the AAST now sets out on a new mission: deliver the salvaged pieces of the fallen vessel into safe hands, at all costs!

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Alt titles: Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion main image

In the future, a devastating event known as Second Impact destroyed Tokyo as we know it, giving rise to the current day Tokyo III, a city under siege by mysterious lifeforms known only as Angels. Mankind's only defense are Evangelions, man-made machines piloted by Rei, Shinji, and Asuka, all who are the tender age of fourteen. The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.

Plenty of things come to mind when comparing Evangelion and Mars of Destruction. The whiny protagonist and strange almost mechanical-looking monsters are two similarities, but even moreso, there's an ever-present moodyness and angst in both of these series. If you liked Mars, check out the classic Evangelion.

Blue Gender

Blue Gender main image

In the early 21st century, certain people are exhibiting signs of B-cell growth, a condition that is incurable. Yuji is one of these, who chooses to become a "Sleeper" -- a person who is put into stasis until a cure can be found. The tranquillity of Yuji's sleep is interrupted 15 years in the future, in a very different world. Giant bugs known as Blue have invaded the Earth, eating its resources, and.. human beings. Now all Yuji can do is escape through the city with the ones who saved him from his inevitable death, towards Second Earth... mankind's new home in space.

While Blue Gender isn't necessarily a match to Mars as far as plot or theme, this is one of those "I just think you'd like it"votes. Blue Gender has the same horror, action and suspense elements, and has the same sort of feel. Also is longer and more fulfilling, in my humble opinion. Try it out.

Silent Mobius

Silent Mobius main image

It is the year 2023, 30 years since the time of the Silent Crisis that brought the world to the brink of destruction. In the present, other-dimensional beings known as the Lucifer Hawk are running rampant, and threaten to take over the human world. The only hope for mankind is the AMP -- the Attacked Mystification Police -- a group of women with paranormal abilities who are dedicated to stopping the Hawk at all costs. With the frequency of attacks increasing and the bodies piling up, it's up to Katsumi Liqeuer and the rest of the gang to stop the invading threat... before it's too late.

The first thing I thought of when watching Mars of Destruction was Silent Mobius. You'll recognize a very similar feel and plot base. Various women are fighting against strange invaders, with plenty of violence and action. As Mars of Destruction was quite short, you might also appreciate the longer, more character driven Silent Mobius.

30,000 years after a battle between good and evil, demons once again threaten our world; but now, the battlefield has changed.

This time, the dark lords strive for a different ending to the eternal battle, while the guardians hope to change the past as well. Is there any way to protect the world from evil without giving up their own lives?

Both anime take place in a futuristic setting, and involve characters who have to fight aliens and save the human race from extinction. Mars of Destruction has a captivating sense of self preservation, conflict among the characters, and a very interesting take on space aliens. Combustible Campus Guardress is a more laid back anime which deals mainly with the two main characters.

Karas

Unbeknownst to humans, demons from an overlapping dimension walk amongst them in the streets of Tokyo. The balance between the worlds is kept by the crow guardian Karas and Yurine, its master and voice of the living city. However, the time of harmony nears the end as the once-Karas Lord Eko returns. Seeking to purge humanity for its evils, he terrorizes the city with his minions that feast on human blood. The ultimate battle between good and evil awaits; can Yurine and her newly initiated Karas prevail against Lord Eko and protect their city against his monstrous horde?

Karas is a badass fighter in a suit of armor, and so is Takeru, in Mars of Destruction. But I didn't make the recommendation solely on something like that; if you liked the monster fighting and actions in Mars, you'd surely like the far superior Karas as well. Karas definitely has more of a Batman Begins type feel while Mars is definitely video-game material, but still, try it on for size.
