Melody of Oblivion
Synopsis:
At the end of the 20th century a fierce war raged between the Monsters and the humans. The outcome was devastating for humanity -- as the Monsters had won -- and thus a new era of Monster-ruling began. These Monsters feed on children and can turn any human who sees them into either a puppet or stone -- except for the Melos Warriors who are the only ones able to fight them. Meet Bokka, a young aspiring Melos Warrior whose only goal is quite simple: to save the Melody of Oblivion and vanquish the Monster King, once and for all!

add recKiddy Grade has a similar flow as MOO. It starts out pretty lighthearted and is about characters with superpowers. There is plenty of comedy and romance in it and only hints at a deeper story, yet when things get rolling one thing after another happens and the mysteries unravel.

add recI only recently started MoO and immediately had lots of thoughts of recommendations, and NGE was certainly NOT one of them. MoO has a sprinkling of mech, nowhere near as impressive as NGE, but the action in fighting off the waves of bad guys is present in both.
The characters are also quite similar. With a twisted background giving them a reason to fight, they struggle on to try and find happiness.
The reason for making this rec is the ending of both shows. The feeling of "WTF just happened" is present by the bucket load. People who love to dissect this kind of maelstrom will enjoy both of the series.

add recThese two shows are extremely similar in so many ways, with plenty of fast paced action and high school kids teaming up to defeat the enemy with super powered weapons.
MoO and Gatekeepers both have quite a dark undertone, but balance that with comedy and ecchi. *Warning* The ecchi in MoO does get very overbearing, especially at the end when story is sacrificed for a nice pair of boobs.
Gatekeepers focusses more on friendship and teamwork, whilst MoO is about each individuals struggle with their warrior name and true love. However, if you enjoy a fast paced, slightly eccentric show, you should give them both a try.
