These animes are quite different and have different messaging. Something similar that caught my attention was the main characters Shiro (Gundam) and Lenka(god eater). Both have to gain the respect/trust as leaders of their misfit teammates with problems of their own, by proving themselves competent. Both anime do a good job at this.
