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.

I can fully endorse this recommendation; both Mars Daybreak and Overman King Gainer have mechs, difficult battles, and main characters who never meant to get involved in the first place. Gram and Gain are both extremely important to their rebellion groups, though the pirate is a bit more jovial than the gamer.

In any case, both shows have the same feel, a sense that these are just normal people in a bad situation. If you liked one, you're almost certain to enjoy the other!

Sharing a director and character designer is not the only thing that makes me recommend these two series. 

They both have a frenetic energy that will almost make you go, (woa man, slooooow dooown) as they toss you into the mix and action.  In the case of King Gainer, once the story takes traction it does work. 

The animation quality of both series is very solid and in the case of Gundam, the mecha "looks" a lot more hand-drawn. 

Toushi Gordian

Toushi Gordian

Daigo, a reckless teenager, speeds across the wilderness on his super cycle, accompanied by his robot pet black panther. The two arrive at Victor Town, a showcase ideal city built in the middle of the barren land, just in time to find it under attack by an army of fanatics equipped with sophisticated weapons. Daigo and his panther are drafted into a defense force, but despite a strenuous resistance, the defenders are soon on the verge of total defeat. Suddenly a giant robot warrior, Gordian, appears from nowhere to drive off the brutal invaders. GORDIAN is a fast-paced SF mystery-drama that will intrigue viewers of all ages as it gradually reveals who Daigo and his panther are, who the invaders are and what they want, and what Gordian is and the motives for its intervention are.

Together with his companion Zaxon, a wardroid who has lost his memory, Ital fights against the beast-masters. Why have they returned after so long, what are they up to, and who is this mysterious 'General' that they refer to?
