In both anime the main character meets a strange girl who passes a strange power to the boy..
with that power their life changes..
A wimpy dude meets a cute girl with a crazy giant robot that he gets to pilot. What's not to love?
They are both mecha animes and the people are choosen to piolet them (In different ways). And the city in Kurogane is just like the island (During episode 18). Though Kurogane no Linebarrels isn't as serious as Sokuyuu no Fafner but its a mix :)
in linebarrels the main char gets hit by a giant mech which gives him powers n the ability to control it, while in xam'd the main char is involved in a explosion where a light goes into his arm n he transforms into a xam'd...both of them have some similarities as you get deeper into each...both of them are considered no longer human
Both of this series feature stunning 2D+3D graphics and of course mecha mech mecha!!!
two ordinary school kids getting power
Both have the same animation, and the characters are almost inter change able. If you liked Kurogane no Linebarrels i highly recommend s.CRY.ed. Lots of action in both as well as a mix of comedy and passionate moments.

Aah geez those 2 animes are so similar! It's hard to explain though for some reason..
Except I liked Tengen Toppa a lot more :p I must've been high most of the time I watched Linebarrel so I'm having a hard time remembering it correctly, still I recall there was that same feeling to both animes - guy gets involved in a fight, gets interested in a woman, starts taking on bigger enemies and ends up in a fight in space that will decide the world's fate...

Linebarrel is a bit harem on some parts, as some girls are GORGEOUS and are interested in the main char, yet Tengen Toppa makes up for it because it has YOKO (makes me drool just thinking of her, damnit)

Also you'll find that ideal of humans trying to protect themselves against a destiny worse than death: losing their individual consciousness and become machines (don't want to spoil it all, just watch both anime aldready! :P )
I started watching Linebarrels and all i could think about was how I've seen most of it already in Dual Parallel! Trouble.

just to note a few similarities (there are loads)
the mechs in use are reverse engineered from Original mech that appeared from another dimension/world.
the most powerfull mech is an Original thats piloted by the main character, has unmatched strength and power output, can be summoned by the user, has the ablity to heal, can teleport between dimensions/space and are the only things with a finishing move powerfull enough to defeat the big bad at the end.
main lead is a school boy that is soft and clumsy yet has all the female characters swooning over him.
The orginisations they join are similar as in they are allies with the UN, then not... and the commander is a bit nutty, causes trouble and has a female colleague thats always having to whack some sense into him. Incidently the lead is beaten up by his love interests... alot.
I think I'll stop here because the similarities just go on and on.
Boy meets girl. Boy gets giant robot. Girl and robot power tied together. However it kinda of diverts from there but a similar concept.
Both great mecha + romance animes about defending the world that even people who hate mecha will love
Boy meets supernatural girl for pilonting a mecha

Random teenager finds a more random mecha, and somehow random teenager becomes best pilot ever :P
Well, its not that hard to see the same kind of plot...
A guy who mets a girl who own a GIANT MECHA!!!
Deux Machina = Original Machina
similar plot
similar setting
Both have main characters that gain power and go nuts with it. Both classic examples of ultimate power corrupts absolutely. Light and Kouichi both have that evil laugh.
Same family of Reideen

Both are shows that are, at once, lampooning their respective genres as well as embracing them. The humor and action is less uneven in Kurogane no Linebarrels, however.
Two organisazions fight each other with mechas extraterrestrials
