Perhaps it's the distinctive blue uniforms and mixed public attitude towards a prominent government agency that early episodes portray the main characters trying, and eventually succeeding, to join, each for their own personal motivations - but Tegami Bachi gives me the same sort of vibe that the earlier episodes of FMA did. Either way, both are good, not-too-ridiculously-long series with a shounen bent that can still be enjoyed by members of both genders. Both feature unique fantasy settings derived from similar real life time periods, as well as extensive travel through these places as part of the plot, delving into the lives of characters met along the way. And come to think of it, Lag's Spirit Amber does look a teensy bit like a Philosopher's Stone....

Good shounen/fighting anime, both a few years old. In both, human/nonhuman partners team up and fight for the right to become king of their respective supernatural world. Focus on character development and growth - particularly the relationships between the partners - as well as action, with both episodic and arc plots. Characters are quirky and well-defined, lending an air of comedy for a well-rounded emotional experience. Both anime have fairly distinctive art styles as well.
