Ok, so it's a bit obvious to say that Plastic Little and Legend of Lemnear are from the loins of Satoshi Urushihara, but this goes a lot deeper than just artwork. As well as similar plot styles, both are epic stories slotted into one episode format - so not a slow moment, but not much development either. Hmm... was that a breast joke I wonder...

Not only were they created by the same guy, but both have a somewhat cheesy, excessively gratuitous nature, around an action filled plot. Legend of Lemnear is definitely a bit more fantasy based, but both definitely have a similar feel.

Martian Successor Nadesico

Alt titles: Nadesico

Martian Successor Nadesico main image

Meet Akito, a mecha pilot with all the training... of a cook?! Along with airhead Yurika, mecha otaku Hikaru, child genius Ruri, sultry Megumi and more of their cast of misfits, they crew mankind's last hope against the dreaded Jovian Lizards -- the Mobile Battleship Nadesico! Financed by a private company, they not only have to deal with the threatening alien menace, but also Earth’s own military (in which Yurika’s father happens to be an admiral!), who are not pleased to see such a formidable warship outside of their authority...

Even though Nadesico's a huge 26 episode series and Plastic Little is only a single OVA, both share elements of sci-fi, action, and comedy. Nadesico has much more to offer, of course, but there's a certain familiarity between the two titles. Although Nadesico is pretty child-friendly (if they can keep up with the plot), Plastic Little is definitely geared toward an older audience because of the nudity in it - whether that's good or bad is up to you.

Venus Wars

Venus Wars main image

Set in the 21st century on a recently terraformed Venus, Venus Wars is the story of a war between two opposing nations, and the effect it has on a group of teenagers. Dark and gritty, with an air similar to that of Akira, it focuses on coming of age during the midst of a planet's devastating war.

Old looking, dark, and gritty... both of these series seem similar in those regards at least. Expect a much better plot and characters in Venus Wars, though.

Want a similar brainless, generic plot? Check both of these out. Voogie's Angel admittedly has better graphics, and a much darker, more violent conclusion.

Sol Bianca - Movie 2

Sol Bianca - Movie 2 main image

The only thing separating these ship based adventures is the atmosphere. While the space pirates of Sol Bianca's crew are not exactly the submarine 'pet-shop hunters' in Plastic Little, the characterisations are a similar, and the overall mix of comedy and seriousness is much the same. Sol Bianca wins the award for worst excuse for nudity, and Plastic Little picks up the one for best animation.
