War between the Earth Federation and Zeon has ground to a bloody standstill, and both sides eagerly seek a quick resolution. Among these is Ensign Shiro Amada, a young mobile suit pilot for the Federation assigned to the 08th mobile suit division in the heart of the Vietnamese jungle. The members of his team include Karen, a hot-headed pilot and part time mechanic; Sanders "The Reaper," a pilot with a reputation for getting the people in his unit killed; Eledor, an aspiring musician, flirt, and communications officer for the team; and Mikel, the love-struck driver for the team's command vehicle.

If the interpersonal drama in MSG 08th MS Team is what drew you to the series, then you can go even further and take a look at Jin-Roh: the Wolf Brigade. A modern retelling of an old fairy tale, Jin-Roh is dark and moody, a grim exploration of human nature.

I recommend this series because it's main character is also niave enough to think he can save everyone, good and bad, and is willing to do anything to further that goal. Though the fighting and setting are vastly different, I feel that those who liked 08's approach to the war will appreciate the politics and the characters in this series.

Full Metal Panic!

Full Metal Panic! main image

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.

While MSG 08th MS Team's mecha are lumbering, land-bound machines of guerilla warfare, Macross Zero showcases the finest work in the industry today with a meld of beautiful CG and lush cel animation married to a wonderful story. 08th MS Team goes deeper than the average Gundam series, and Macross Zero delves even deeper with a fresh look at a classic mythos.

If you enjoyed the drama Gundam 08th MS Team as well as the high-tech feel of the series, you will definitely enjoy Planet-ES. A word of warning though, PlanetES does not have the same wartime setting as Gundam 08th MS Team. Do not expect the same action you see in a Gundam.
