For political theorists out there who enjoy engaging with ideas such as restructuring society, these two anime share common elements. At the macro-level of society, various actors with grand ideologies at hand plan to reshape society, or at least, to prepare the grounds for the next stage in its development. At the micro-level of society, civil unrest, clandestine political gamesmanship, and the threat of military action from foreign actors all threaten to push everything toward the brink of chaos. If you're interested in performances motivated by civil unrest, i.e. grand politics, then moving from one to the other should appeal to you.

If you liked Mai-HiME add

...then you might like Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou add

The magical girl genre covers more territory than is often noticed. It doesn't stop at pretty girls wearing pretty dresses. As such, Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou intersects with Mai-HiME in ways beyond mere choices of stylish appearances. In either anime, you'll find heroines struggling with new lives introduced by newly awakened powers. You'll find them defining themselves through their friendships and personal conflicts with one another - and against collectives guided by powerful individuals who only want to bend our heroines to their wills. If you're interested in seeing characters persevering through all the turmoil that a newly awakened life can bring, then these magical girls of differing styles may be for you.
