Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Alt titles: Gundam 00, Kidou Senshi Gundam Double O
Synopsis:
In the 24th century, the planet's fossil fuels have been completely consumed, forcing humanity to use solar power as the primary source of energy. A huge solar energy system orbiting the planet was eventually built, anchored to the Earth and providing it with power through three orbital space elevators. As a result of the expense of such a large-scale project, most the world consolidated into three factions: the Union, the Human Reform League, and the AEU. Despite their common reliance on the fragile orbital elevators for energy, however, humanity still continues to constantly fight wars and build up arms. A paramilitary organization called Celestial Being, equipped with incredibly powerful mobile suits called Gundams, fight in order to force humanity to unite and eradicate armed conflict.

add recMilitary drama with mystery and high-caliber production values. Gundam 00 replaced Code Geass after its run was over. They are both from SUNRISE. If you like Gundam 00 then you will probably enjoy CODE GEASS and vice versa.
Both are alike in that they have intricate political conflicts, mecha action and deep characters that will bring out great feelings of hate or love.
Flashy animation, mecha fest with plenty of action packed sequences, political intrigue galore: Gundam 00 and Code Geass in a nutshell. Both titles focus on the efforts of the leads to change the world in one way or another, these efforts having quite drastic consequences along the way. Gundam 00 follow a group of characters and takes place in space as well as on Earth while Code Geass has a clear main character and takes nationalistic desires as the primary plot device, fans of one are likely to enjoy the other.
both have the theme of eliminating whats "wrong" in the world. whether its segrigation or war the goal is to eliminate it. though the main charectors have there own reasons for what they do.
These anime share the theme of trying to achieve a morally good goal through means which are not so clear cut. There are also instances in both Gundam 00 and Code Geass where a major character makes a decision motivated by selfish personal feelings which has unintended consequences on innocent people. And, of course, the Mecha battles are always a plus. Basically, if you liked the themes in one of these anime, you'll like the other.
Both are thought-provoking animes that step out of the ordinary mecha stereotype. Both show off intense mecha battles (more strategy involved in Code Geass) and high-production value. Mecha fans will be deeply satisfied with either.
If you liked Code Geass or Mobile Suit Gundam 00, then you'd like the other because they both have the main characters fighting to bring about a world of peace even if it is at the cost war. Tho in Code Geass the main character seems to be evil for using his powers differently, you could say the main character in mobile suit gundam 00 is evil for using his power to provoke violence. So in other words both main characters are good and bad in different aspects.

add recBoth Eureka Seven and Gundam 00 share similar mecha designs, color schemes, and very compelling story lines. If you liked one, then you're bound to like the other.
Firstly both anime use mechs and they hold symbolic importance to the stories. However the story rather then based on the mechs is centered on the people piloting them.The characters fuel the excitement of each series and you become engrossed in their lives.The plots are both fairly close to each other, but it is something a viewer must see to understand. Eureka Seven is more catered to romance while Gundam 00 is about ideals or understanding, but both contain these aspects and they share many others.

add recThe main characters of both series are middle eastern children who grew up in guerrila bands. The two shows are both mecha anime in a believable setting. More importantly both groups, Celestial Being and Mithril are organizations that save the world from threats. There are so many parralels between the series that if one watches one, he must watch the other.

add recObviously these two series are both in the Mecha genre but have more in common than just that. They both recently came out in 2007 and are both excellently animated. Both Gundam 00 and Tengen Toppa have excellent story lines and are two of the best Mecha series to come out in a long time. The story line of both of these have very dramatic and moving moments. While Tengen Toppa tends to be a little more light hearted through out the series, Gundam 00 deals more with the serious side of warfare. Overall both of these series are excellent examples of this genre, and if you love one you'll love the other.
