Main characters seem similar. Both have same type of action and humor but Gun X Sword has giant robots.
Both anime have the same western feeling and the main characters are both searching for the man that killed the women they loved. Plus they have other similarities.
Vash (main character of Trigun) and Van (main character of Gun X Sword) remind me of each other, although not all of their characteristics match. Both main characters are kind of laid back but still hardcore fighters.
Even though Gun X Sword is a mecha-styled show and Trigun isn't, I think if you were to watch the two you could probably make little lines between the shared qualities like the land and towns in both.
The main characters share many characteristics, that include having abilities that aren't human, being chased by events from the past, being (or at least trying to be) loners, being kind and generous, having unusual weapons and they both are funny in their own ways.
The two animes take place in a post apocalptyc enviroment, and the current civilization is like the western type filled with the blessings of the long forgotten technologies.
The main characters are very similar in beliefs, mannerisms, food obsessions, and "hey look at me I'm harmless JUST KIDDING HERE'S MY AWESOME WEAPON!"ness. Even the planets are similar. And just like Trigun the main character bounces from town to town (where his reputation precedes him) in search of the Big Bad Boss guy.
its pretty much the same but instead of having an amazing guns it has armors which are like robots you control

protagonist with a dark past, and sinister story oO
Spike and Van could have been long lost brothers. ; )
Gun Sword has a VERY similar feel to Cowboy Bebop and the characters design and animation are also very alike, particularly Van/Spike and Carmen99/Faye. Both are fabulous space westerns that you should watch.

Code Geass and Gun X Sword were made by the same director, Goro Taniguchi, and some of the same staff members too. Both series involve giant mecha combat, although Code Geass starts off as more realistic in this respect. Revenge is an important theme in both stories, plus they also share a number of ideas and their characters have a few similar characteristics. Gun X Sword benefits from being self-contained and more focused.

Death note is similar to GunxSword down to two main characters...
'Light' could be cosidered a villian or anti-hero, just like the character known as 'The Claw' in GunXSword.
Both Light and 'The Claw' are murderers with a God complex, yet both belive that are doing the right thing.
It's up to you however, who are you rooting for?

Both feature two fighters one taking a gentle, the other a more confrontational approach to their goals. first working against eachother then uniting after gathering the unlikeliest of allies as they approach their ultimate climactic battle with a egomaniacal individual bent on rulling the world.

Similar concept: a group of people traveling around searching for a certain person. The comedy is similar as well as the art style.

In both animes the main charater is a gloomy guy with a kind heart who gets accompanied by a girl trying to lighten the mood around him. Feature big swords and lots of fights (with monsters in Devil May Cry and mecha in Gun x Sword).

I feel both of these series are somewhat cheesy, but they were both made by creators who knew a lot of old stories inside out and who wanted to show how well they appreciated the old stories. IMHO [i]Gun X Sword[/i] has the high production values and depth that[i] Shinkon Gattai Godannar [/i]should have had.

Great characters, well design and a great story

Two mecha shows where the main character is fighting to save the world with many allies by their side.

Both are cool and similar

Both of these have somewhat similar settings. IMHO [i]Gun X Sword[/i] has everything that Avenger should have had but didn't. In particular, [i]Gun X Sword[/i] has nuanced characters whose interactions are plausible, and a coherent,satisfying story.
