Granted I liked both shows but there is a huge amount of overlap (at least when taken out of context) that is only ever rarely at that level. I'd be interested in what it would be like to watch both series side-by-side from start to finish. A lot of it can be chalked up to coincidence but a lot of it really really is just too similar to not be funny (in a funny way). | |

| Feb 2, 2014 at 20:20 | comment | added | Jon Lin | @Eric Also, when that site was first started, the guy who ran it started several threads on the animenation.net forums back in 2006, and the more knowledgeable users there went through each comparison and thoroughly took them apart and the guy was eventually laughed out of the forums. Unfortunately, those 2 or 3 threads were all locked and disposed of because of the ruckus it caused. | |

Lots of those similarities are common anime/mecha/sci-fi tropes, unique to neither show, some are horribly forced comparisons, some are barely comparisons at all, so I thought it would be more misleading to link it. | |
