In another world, there exist many countries, each with different cultures, customs, and traditions. From technological marvels to folk legends, each location yields a vast wealth of insight of its people: their hopes and their dreams, their failures and fears. Kino is a traveler whose goal is to visit as many new places as possible, learning about others' ways of life, but also making sure to stay clear of their affairs. Together with the talking motorrad Hermes, Kino sets out to explore the beautiful world and meet its inhabitants, wherever they may be.
It's not an obvious recommendation at first, but the ideas linking these two series are rather similar. Both feature a young protagonist forced into a journey between cultures, and both play with ideas of identity and of war. The confusion between the characters of Diana Soriel and Kihel Heim is similar to the confusion Kino feels as she takes on the name of the man who inspired her. And more importantly, both show death and suffering to be an inevitable part of human life, which should be seen as something beautiful regardless.
As the result of heavy pollution, mankind now lives in remote and desolate locations in order to survive. The government rules with an iron fist, keeping close control over the masses. Gainer is a boy who has been playing a video game so much that he has finally secured the title of King. However, the next day he is falsely arrested for allegedly starting an Exodus – a journey to the mythical paradise known as Yapan. While in prison, fellow prisoner Gain offers to help Gainer escape, so with nothing to lose Gainer finds an Overman and makes his exit. However, in order to return the favor, Gainer chooses to further Gain’s cause: protecting the Exodus movement, even though Gainer’s parents were killed for their anti-Exodus ways…
Both Turn A Gundam and Overman King Gainer have a happy mood to a very serious matter. The main protagonist in both titles are very similar, ignorant to a few things going around them, young, kind, and they both do not want to kill anyone even though they have a super awesome mechas. The mechas are similar as well. You just get the same vibe from both these titles and if you enjoyed one these titles you might enjoy the other as well.
Many years ago, sea plane pilot Marco Paggot was placed under a curse which transformed his face into that of a pig. Now, he lives a solitary life as the renowned Porco Rosso and rules the skies of the Adriatic protecting civilians from sea plane pirates. One day however, Marco meets an ace American fighter pilot, Donald Curtis, and the pair immediately clash leaving his plane a wreck. But when Curtis discovers that Marco survived his previous attack, he’s determined to have his victory and makes the gruff pilot an offer he can’t refuse…
Both anime use a theme of early flight planes.Even though Turn A Gundam has more of a steampunk vibe while Porco Rosso though fantasy take place in an actual time period.
