Zaion ~i wish you were here~
Synopsis:
In the present time, the meteorite-based M-34 virus is being spread at a horrific pace: infecting thousands, and mutating their bodies into alien-like creatures who destroy everyone in their path. While NOA -- an elite team of cybernetic soldiers -- work to contain the threat, a new weapon named Ai is being trained to destroy the virus once and for all. Unknown to all are her true powers -- especially once she falls in love with NOA member Yuji. Time is running out.. who will inherit the earth? The virus, or humanity?

add recThe starting point is the same for both of the stories - she is the ultimate weapon. If I had to choose, I'd say Zaion was better - at least, it doesn't have that "let's get laid" attitude which drove me crazy in Saikano.
Blue Gender
In the early 21st century, certain people are exhibiting signs of B-cell growth, a condition that is incurable. Yuji is one of these, who chooses to become a "Sleeper" -- a person who is put into stasis until a cure can be found. The tranquillity of Yuji's sleep is interrupted 15 years in the future, in a very different world. Giant bugs known as Blue have invaded the Earth, eating its resources, and.. human beings. Now all Yuji can do is escape through the city with the ones who saved him from his inevitable death, towards Second Earth... mankind's new home in space.

add recHoshi no Koe hits the same themes as Zaoin, but does it much, much better. The psuedo-romance is more believable, sweeter, and more complex. The characters have more depth. Voices of a Distant Start does everying Zaoin tries to do, better, in a quarter the time.
