Mecha and politics in a school based, adult world and alternate timeline setting. Both at time comical but mostly intense and gripping. Highly recommended!

Both aboput war and suffering, but Full Metal Panic has a funny side to it as well. Although the stories are different, they are both about the war against different countries and using robots to fight.
The plot is the same with a huge difference in tone. Both have mechs and such with a main character with a special ability.
In FMP it is the Whispered, while in Code Geass, it is C.C.
The FMP is at best the funniest, however it can, at certain points, be as 'dark' as Code Geass.
FMP is much lighter, with a greater amount of comedy, but both are excellent series that have highly-intelligent characters, war, romance, mecca and a good story
while in code geass, the male lead, lelo command the other female leads cc and kallen, and in fmp, the female lead kaname or tessa basically command sosuke. so in this feature, the sex is totally swaped..In code geass there is just as much mecha action as fmp. they both involve a special weapon that both protagonist and anatogonist control and as they struggle for victory. In code geass the special weapon was the Avalon, and the Lancelot and the other 9 knights of the round. But in fmp its the landad driver. FMP focuses on comedy and current settings, while code geass is sci

Two of my absolute favorite mech anime.
Both feature semi-realistic giant robots.
In both, a soldier (/ rebel leader) attends a high school while hiding his identity.
The conflicts involve mind games, strategy, close combat and/or politics.
Code Geass has more twists and turns and is more packed with content in general, while FMP is more focused.
Both have great comedy.
Military and mecha shows with great main characters. The main character is a teen boy that fight hard for a better world, and he defends and protects his friends, expecially a girl.

They share the same basic concept of war and strategy. And also the use of robot machines that beat the crap out of stuff.

High school guy who's part of a military group in an alternate-history version of modern Japan protects a female who's close to him, has ridiculous-yet-awesome super-powered mech fights, comedy's interspersed throughout the show(FMP! has far, far more comedy though). If you like one, then there's no way you won't like the other.
If you liked FMP, you'll likely enjoy Code Geass because they both have a lot of mech fighting, are centered, at least most of the series, around high school, and have some mysterious powers endowed within the main characters.
Both very good character establishment and develpment
Even a few years older than Geass, with a great transition into modern anime, fourth Season even lanched in 2018, a masterpiece of an return!
Very good story and comes right after Code Geass on my recommendations list
Oh, and Mechs - cool ones (ahem Arbalest ahem)
