There are a lot of smaller details that make them similar despite major plot differences. Both have grunt mech combat where the machines are far from invincible. Both leads are however extremely capable fighters without being invincible death machines, both have certain super human and paranormal elements and both unfortunately have pretty miserable conclusions.
