This story revolves around Ledo – a young lieutenant of The Human Galactic Alliance – and his robot, called Chamber. During one of the battle against a new race called “Hidiaazu,” a distortion of space and time happens, and that's how Ledo ends up on the Earth. That planet is completely flooded by the seas and mankind lives on giant ships gathered together in giant fleets and manages to survive by fishing and salvaging relics from the ocean. The fleet which our Ledo ends up to is called “Gargantia”. There, our Ledo meets the cute and easy-going Amy who shows him around and helps him since he finds himself at a loss on what to do. The new setting, the completely new life just started, and the peaceful atmosphere to which our Ledo is not used to, keeps on taking him by surprise making him realize that there could be something else in life, beside just fighting.

Even if Suisei no Gargantia has a more adventurous feeling with it, there are similarities with Full Metal Panic! that cannot be ignored. We're talking about two wonderful mecha anime. In both of them we find the protagonists – both soldiers trained since childhood – who have no clue about the world surrounding them, and plunged in a more peaceful one. Once again, we find here the anti-social protagonist's theme: Ledo, exactly like Sousuke, is a person who completely lacks any social skills. What's more, we find in Suisei no Gargantia a very strong trace of romance, since Ledo finds himself involved with Amy and learns from her a lot of things about life and human emotions. Even though we must admit that the story is generally serious, it doesn't lack comedic moments, especially when Ledo tries to get accustomed to his new settings with the help of other main characters. What's left to say? It's not excessive to state that Full Metal Panic! and Suisei no Gargantia are somehow siblings. We are sure enough that if you liked the first, you will enjoy the second!

This is a story about Mars, and the Earth. Martians are the heirs of the astronauts who discovered the Aldnoah that gave them a supernatural power. The spark which causes the Earth and Mars to fight against each other is the supposed murder of the Martian Princess Asseylum – descended on the Earth only to claim peace – by terrestrials. The protagonist of this story is Inaho Kaizuka. He is just a smart high school boy and one day, without even the time to realize it, he finds himself involved in a ferocious battle against Mars. Along with him, a bunch of interesting other characters are engaged with the cause: Inko Amifumi, who holds feelings toward Inaho; Rayet Areash, the Martian who wants revenge against Mars; and Slaine Troyard, a guy born on the Earth but living on Mars because of some circumstances.

Among mecha anime series, Aldonah.Zero managed soon enough to find its own place thanks to a well-constructed plot and a suspense that keeps on growing episode by episode. Like Full Metal Panic!, we can find here a bit of school setting and, of course, the recurring military theme. In both these anime, the male protagonist is a professional in using a robot, not to mention that Sousuke and Inaho resemble each other a lot, and try to protect girls.
Aldonah.Zero is a story where the bounds between allies and enemies is thin, and where the battles will bring you a lot of emotions. It's a story about friendship, love and hope.
If you fell in love with Full Metal Panic! because of these same thematics, you will fall in love with Aldnoah.Zero too!

Haruto Tokishima, our protagonist, and his friends live peacefully in the space, in a division called “Module 77” and their lives drastically change when, one day, The Dorssian Military Pact Federation – one of the two main powers – suddenly decide to invade the neutral nation of JIOR. Some circumstances lead Haruto – who tried hard to avoid conflicts – to become a Valvrave pilot. That single action starts a domino effect that basically alters everybody's equilibrium. Together with Haruto, his friends will lend him a hand in a ferocious battle against Dorssia: Saki Rukino, the lonely idol who has a crush on Haruto; Kyuuma Inuzuka, the dependable upperclassman; and Shouko Sashinami, loved by Haruto. However, is the fated meeting between Haruto and L-Elf Karlstein – a secret agent of the Dorssian military – that turns the tables and, after daily struggles, losses, and battles, lead to a conclusion that no one would expect.

Just like Full Metal Panic!, this is a story about war, politic plots, and love in a more collective way. Valvrave the Liberator is a little masterpiece in the mecha genre that gives emotions, and suspense, and even laughter. There's a guy who tries hard to accomplish something, and Haruto, exactly like Sousuke, will face bigger events. If you liked the dark side of Full Metal Panic!, or the romantic one, we are sure Valvrave the Liberator will be your cup of tea!

Aoba Watase is a common high school boy. One day, back to school after summer break, something happens and that something irreparably changes his life. He's just quietly walking when a giant robot comes down from the sky and starts to chase after him. Aoba runs, in an attempt to stay alive. When everything seems lost, his savior appears. It's Hina Yumihara, his classmate, in her own giant robot. She rescues Aoba and, suddenly, sends him into the future. When our bewildered Aoba wakes up, about seventy years into the future, he discovers that the Free Pact Alliance and the Zogilia Republic are at war with each other. Soon after, he meets Dio Weinberg Junyou, a young Valiancer pilot, and this is how Aoba's new life begins.

We don't have to look so close to see what Full Metal Panic! and Buddy Complex have in common. For starters, both series are mecha genre, and so full of action that it seems impossible to catch a breath. Even in Buddy Complex we find a little bit of the school setting and the start of an entirely new life for our protagonist. What's more? Both series take place in the future and in both we can find our protagonists Aoba and Sousuke – both professionals at using robots –struggling to protect a girl. If we add that there's a romantic theme too, so we are sure you are ready to jump in the future with Aoba and his friends!
