Aquarion Evol

Similarities:
- A male and a female protagonist
- School setting
- Action/Mecha/Comedy/Romance genre & theme
- Love triangle
Differences:
- Story approach is slightly different because Aquerion involves fantasy/supernatural elements, while FMP involves military elements
Recommendation:
If you like action, mecha and romance mixed together, then i will highly recommend these series. Both of them are very good, and reminds of each other. Besides, you don't have to be afraid of the FMP animation even though it is from 2002. The animation is actually pretty decent and can be compared to Code Geass animation from 2006.
