Both are mecha series that have an overall lighthearted and comedic tone, but still contain darker, more serious, and sad plot threads and moments throughout the story. Both also feature mysterious enemies of alien origin, and otaku MCs (in Nadesico Akito is a mecha otaku, whereas in MJP Izuru is more of a toku otaku and aspiring mangaka)
