Recommendations

Ace wo Nerae! (Aim for the Ace!) heavily inspired the idea behind Top wo Nerae (Aim for the Top!) It's near enough the exact same thing; but Aim for the Ace is about Tennis, not giant mechs fighting aliens. Hell, just look at the names!
Many of the characters, in their personalities, designs, and interactions, are virtually identical in the two series. Their conflicts are also similar - a newcomer is unexpectedly chosen to be part of an elite group instead of another, more recognized girl, and is bullied because of it.

Opening Theme

"Ace o Nerae! (エースをねらえ!)" by Kumiko Ohsugi

Ending Theme

"Shiroi Tennis Court de (白いテニスコートで, White Tennis Court)" by Kumiko Ohsugi
