Eden of the East

Eden of the East

In the year 2010, on a day called ‘Careless Monday', ten missiles hit the cities of Japan; miraculously, there are no casualties and the event quickly fades from public memory. Some time later, Saki Morimi decides to visit Washington, DC on her graduation trip to America, but that day begins a series of bizarre events. After getting into trouble with the police, she's rescued by a young man who is completely naked save for a gun in one hand and an even stranger item in the other - a phone credited with 8 billion electronic yen and a female voice on the other end called Juiz who will fulfill his every wish. Having no recollection of his past and calling himself ‘Akira Takizawa', the young man accompanies Saki back to Japan in the hopes of discovering who he is. Akira's enigma quickly proves fascinating and Saki decides to help him rather than reunite with her family; but what neither realizes is that Akira is embroiled in a dark game of life and death linked to the Careless Monday missiles. Has Saki just made a terrible mistake, and can Akira unravel his own mystery before they both lose everything?

There is actually a specific part in Kuromukuro that reminds me a lot of Eden. The two animes are quite different, however the lead male character in each seems similar to me. Both are in a strange world. In Eden, it's because he lost his memories so the current modern world is strange to him. In Kuromukuro, he was asleep for many years and suddenly wakes up in the present modern world. Both characters have some what similar personalities. Both animes present the person in a strange world theme similarly as well. I think they are a good match.

Guy and girl are separated for reasons out of eithers control

If these sound like your kind of story then give both of these a try.

If that’s not enough the main male characters in Kuromukuro & Eden of the East both use nicknames. They have strong opinions about using their power for protection. People who appear useless [NEETS and friends/enemies{frenemies}] are not left to die. Abandoning people either because they’re NEETs or because they’ve wronged you in the past is not something the male leads condone. They will help those by any means they possess. Fame and fortune are not their objectives, they are who they need to be.

This opinion is shared with and/or embraced by other characters as the series’ progress.

Minor/secondary characters in both are addicted to technology.

An animal companion is also present in both series [dog in Eden of the East and a ferret in Kuromukuro] who aids the characters in their respective series. They aren’t just there to be cute, though their physical appeal is not to be underestimated.

The whole story can’t be captured on film. You've got to look for the meaning behind every action.

Dimension W

Dimension W

In the year 2071, the world's energy problems seem solved by a network of cross-dimensional electric-field inductors- "coils" -that extract energy from a seemingly infinite source. That source is the W dimension, a fourth plane that exists beyond the X, Y, and Z dimensions. In this world, unofficial "illegal" coils harness powers that the police can't hope to counter. Dealing with these coils is the job of coil-hating repo man Kyoma, whose run-in with the unique coil android Mira leads the two to form a reluctant partnership.

This may be an odd pairing, but I do think these animes have their similarities. The main male character in both somewhat refuses the present time. In Dimension, he prefers to live the way people did before the coils became a part of nearly every aspect of life. In Kuromukuro, he actually is from the past and has a hard time accepting the present. It's not exactly the same, but it does seem similar. The artwork feels similar to. Also, the main male character is paired with a rather unlikely main female character which creates a bit of a rocky atmosphere.

Both both are anime and both seem like high quality. They both have their quirks and other things which may seem meh but otherwise it seems like a excellent opportunity for anime to watch.

Gonzo does it again with this action-packed mecha comedy. She's an ordinary high school girl. He's a counterterror agent assigned to protect her from those who would steal the information locked in her mind. OK, so she's not so normal after all. Armored Slave battles and lovers' spats abound as Sousuke and his comrades try to track down the mysterious Gauln before it's too late.

I expect if you enjoy one you will enjoy the other.

Both are School-life/mecha anime.

Both play on the male protagonist being out of place at school, one being a samurai the other being a soldier. Both play a guardian (not in the parental sense) and partner role.

They are both pretty good anime for their category while the specific plots are different enough that you could watch them back to back.

Robotics;Notes

In the year 2019, the Robotics Club of Central Tanegashima High School has only one goal in mind: to create a working replica of the giant anime robot Gunvarrel! But doing so isn’t easy as the club only has two members: Aki, who took over the project from her now-graduated sister; and Kai, a lazy gamer who’d rather be elsewhere. What’s worse, the school’s vice principal has decided their club is a waste of school funds and plans to shut them down! Now, the duo must convince her otherwise by winning a fighting robot tournament and gaining new, machine-savvy members, but when Kai accidentally stumbles upon an unbelievable conspiracy, the Robotics Club becomes the least of his concerns...

Mecha/robot-centric action shows with a similar tone/atmosphere and equal amounts of comedic + serious moments. Both also have a mystery subplot involving a danger coming from outside Earth threatening to wipe out millions of lives.
