Soukou no Strain

Both of them show a desperate struggle against a foreign enemy using mecha that can either be a blessing or a curse. The Strains are only good if you have a mimic for them while the Fafner's slowly eat away at the pilot. Both have a major dramatic climax that leads to the resolution.

Murder Princess is an action-packed that is so enthralling that you would want to watch it all in one go (which I did). Soukou no Strain was one of such animes for me but its more lengthy though (which wasn't a bad thing since like for Murder Princess I still want more and wish there were!).

Both have the element of intergalactic battle and use light speed theory as a key element.

Both involve having a set of useless cast members who are thought to be the protagonists, but then get erased by the end of the first episode. However, Ga-Rei -Zero- executes it better with a more concrete story that actually makes use of the throwaway cast.
