Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars
Alt titles: Gakuen Senki Muryou
Synopsis:
In the year 2070, a giant object appears over the skies of the small town Tenmo, scrambling the electrical grid and confirming the existence of extra terrestrial life. To young Hajime Morata, this news is exciting and new - but to the townspeople, school council members and even the new exchange student Muryou Subaru, nothing going on in the skies is out of the ordinary. For it seems that Earth houses both intergalactic ambassadors and planet defenders alike - at least one of whom can use the power of the giant Shingu to battle incoming invaders - and Hajime is somehow connected. In addition to helping plan school festivals and living his day to day life, Hajime slowly begins to discover the secret behind his town and himself.

add recFigure 17 and Shingu are both sci fi told in a very slow-paced, slice of life way. Shingu has more campyness to it (including a ridiculously bad soundtrack) but I definitely think fans of one would like the other. I think Figure 17 is the superior title, though.
Noein
When Haruka, Yuu and their friends decided to go ghost hunting, they had no idea the "ghosts" they'd find would turn their lives upside down. Black-clad and wielding quantum powers, these knights from the future are after an artifact of immense power that they hope will save their dimension from destruction: the Dragon Torque; and Haruka seems to be the key. As factions within the knights violently disagree on how to proceed, Haruka and the gang are caught up in a fight with the Shangri La, in an existential battle where fates of entire universes are decided.

add recBoth series are sci-fi with slice-of-life elements common during the series. In both, the main cast consists of school age children around middle school and neither cast forgets that they're still children who like to have fun. Some members of both casts posses special powers useful to their respective worlds. They take place during different times of the school year and in different eras, but the slice-of-life intertwined with sci-fi and action scenes are both similar.
Brigadoon Marin to Melan
The year is 1969, and strange things are happening on Earth: a strange formation known as Brigadoon has appeared in the sky, and mysterious alien machines have begun to attack a seemingly ordinary orphan girl named Marin! Luckily for her, Marin finds an artifact which summons the alien Melan Blue to protect her – but there is more going on between Earth and Brigadoon than meets the eye. However there is more going on behind the scenes between Earth and Brigadoon. Along with a cast of quirky characters, Marin must get to the bottom of what’s going on, lest both Earth AND Brigadoon be destroyed forever!

add recBoth of these titles have a certain vibe that is both light hearted at times and can get serious as well. Shingu a tad bit more lighthearted than Brigadoon.
The over all "look" of the designs are very fresh and unique.
Both deal with the same age kids.
Sadamitsu the Destroyer
Alt titles: Hakaima Sadamitsu
- TV (10 eps)
- 2001
Sadamitsu used to be a typical delinquent, doling out justice as part of the Corpse Gang. That is, until he finds himself in the middle of a battle between a robot from space and an alien, inadvertently crippling the robot in the process! The robot is one of the good guys from another world, out to apprehend the 20 million galactic criminals that are on their way to Earth - and now that only its head remains intact, it's up to Sadamitsu to take on the challenge. While donning the head of the robot - which Sadamitsu names Junk - the boy transforms into a powerful fighter capable of taking down the invaders. With Junk's guidance, Sadamitsu helps fulfill his new role - but with the arrival of a powerful enforcer known as the Vulture, his task won't be easy...

add recThis could be a stretch, but I think there's enough of a similar feel to warrant a recommendation. Shingu and Sadamitsu are two sci fi tales that also seem surprisingly 'normal'. The main characters often embark on daily, non sci fi tasks and the action is coupled with a heavy dose of fun. Shingu is a lot more slice of life than Sadamitsu, and this may just be a gut feeling, but try it on for size.
