Yet another decent game to anime series. The recommendation isn't based on that alone.. both have fairly unique stories and great fantasy elements as well.

Both series are about a couple of free spirits looking for, and finding, some excitement. Also, Even though both Gene and Adol are aces with their weapons (guns and swords respectively), they both tend to find clever and resourceful ways to win out against stronger opponents.

I feel that the straightforward 'stop the baddies, save the damsel, and a bunch of other cool stuff' feel of these shows is similar. Both main characters are optimistic young adventurers who find themselves in the middle of grand events, and both are short series based in fantasy setting that is refreshing

Both animes are about innocent cities being attacked by monsters led by tyranical leaders. In both cases, the hero isn't that strong-willed, but has the ability to become stronger simply by believing in their selves. Simon's Lagann and Adol's cleria sword and armor are both powered by the will of their controllers.

While Juuni Kokki doesn't have a game-like feel, it definitely would be of interest to you if you like good fantasies. It has demons as well, but is presented in a much longer, more drawn out (and plot-intensive) fashion. Fantastic series, and definitely of interest if you like shows like Ancient Book of Ys.
