Ginga Reppuu Baxingar

Both Baxingar and Gundam are Mecha TV shows from the late 70s/early 80s and have many similarities -they are both about two militaries fighting each other in space, with the protagonists being originally based on earth -both are named after the main mech, which is made of composite parts that come together -the character design for the main protagonist is pretty similar in both -characters in both have wacky names & nicknames -the way politics and conflict play out is pretty similar in the two -both have annoying kids that stick around for much of the runtime Obviously Gundam is by far the more popular show, and it is also a lot better in terms of animation (even though it was released earlier) and story structure. If you're a fan of retro mecha anime perhaps you'd like to check out one of both of these series. read more
