Brigadoon: Marin to Melan

These series were made a few years apart, but had some of the same people doing writing and character design, and it shows. While the main plots of these two shows are very different, both are sci-fi series with mecha or mecha-like robots. If you like robot sword fights, you might like both: in particular, Melan's fighting style bears some similarity to the style Van uses when riding Dann. The major similarity, though, is in the central relationships. Both shows are about the friendship between a young teenage orphan and an older, stronger male protector whom she has a crush on. Melan's personality is very different from Van's, but Van protects Wendy in much the same way that Melan protects Marin. Gun X Sword resolves the main characters' relationship in a different way than Brigadoon, but fans who liked the central pairing in one might like the other.
