Sky Girls
Synopsis:
In the year 2079 CE, malevolent creatures known as Worms arrived in our galaxy, wiping out mankind quickly and efficiently. Finally, when the war's outcome seemed to favor the invaders, humanity united and nuked its own planet in order to survive. Though the Worms were defeated, 50% of the Earth's land mass submerged under the ocean, and 90% of all young men were killed in battle. Now, several years later, the Worms have returned. The world's best hope for survival is the genius Karen, the swordswoman Otoha and quick-thinking Eika; together, they make up the Sonic Diver Unit, a mechanized unit capable of taking down the Worms! Yet the powers that be are skeptical of its force and aptitude. Can the girls prove their worth, and take down the enemy?

Alt titles: Mecha Musume
- OVA (1 ep)
- 2007
Due to an invasion of an unknown enemy, the world is being destroyed. The military force is powerless against the enemy, lives are being taken and the planet is being torn to pieces. However, an unexpected turn occurs when scientists create a weapon known as "Striker", which is the perfect fusion of both magic and modern technology. The group of young girls who will master "Strikers" will become Strike Witches, and with their new magic brooms, they will swiftly sail through the skies in order to protect what is left of mankind...

add recBoth are very similar in their themes; where young girls are made to use high tech flying gear to fight against formidable enemies. The story lines differ though and there is a lot of "panties" in strike witches - a bit annoying but still watchable!
Loligirls can save the world! Thats what both shows are about, even though thats about it.
While in Sky Girls, you get some constantly panty showing girls riding a mecha in order to defeat evil monsters, you get some as loud as an airplane magical pantygirls in Strike Witches.
So I bet if you liked one show, you'll fall in love with the other! And if you dislike one, you'll surely hate the other anime even more. I did.
Gunparade March
- TV (12 eps)
- 2003
In the year 1945, the most terrible creatures in existence visited the earth: bug-like entities soon to be known as Phantom Beasts. In that time of peril, mankind joined together to expel the threat, only to find that conventional weapons were useless and further damaged the earth. It is now 1999, and the student-wide draft has changed the lives of thousands of teenagers across Japan. While unwillingly fighting in an endless war that started before their births, one group of friends will experience the tragedy of death and the bittersweet joy of love as they struggle to survive.

add recDid you like the idea of half the world's population being defeated by worms? Then how about half the world's population defeated by Genjyu? Anime lovers would definitely like Gunparade March if they like the idea of replacing the cuteness of Sky Girls with priceless romance. There are wonderful mecha battles to get excited about as well, but other than that, Gunparade March would suit anyone who is looking for mecha and romance.

add recLike watching girls beat up baddies and save the world? If for some astonishing reason you liked Sky Girls, try out the far superior Stellvia. It also follows a few heroines (and heroes) as they struggle to save the universe; however, it also has MUCH better character development, animation, story, and everything else.

add recDid anyone say girls and mecha? Sky Girls combines skimpy outfits and mecha in one story. Sky Girls is pretty much in the same caliber as in Burst Angel -- "going for the cowgirl look, I see?" If you are looking for a mecha anime series with cool clothing that expresses the characters and has an interesting story, look no further for Burst Angel is here.
