Both Ohnogi, Hiroshi (Script) and Akane, Kazuki (Director) worked on these series. The stories are epic and have a futuristic feel to them. More Tetsuwan than Noein, though. You'll notice that the same animation style was used in both of these series' fight scenes from time to time as well. Escaflowne is also another done by those two.

Director Kazuki Akane seems to have a pool of themes (and a pool of voice actors) he enjoys returning to, except he puts a slightly different spin on the themes each time they crop up. Birdy and HGJ had similar feels from the start: both featured an eccentric pair trying to track down criminals and bring them to justice, and the style of the dialogue felt similar as well, due to longtime Akane collaborator Hiroshi Ohnogi working on the scripts. In the second season of Birdy, however, the similarities multiplied -- voice actors were even brought back from HGJ to play similar roles on Birdy. While both shows stand perfectly well on their own, it's interesting to see the same themes explored in different fashions on both. Fans of the style of one show should get a kick out of seeing a similar style in the other show, especially as it's a feel not often replicated in anime: what matters most in an Akane show is what ISN'T said, and both HGJ and Birdy are excellent examples of this.

Episode 87 specifically of Shippuuden features Shingo Yamashita, who does most of the action for Birdy 02, as well as other key animation scenes. If you enjoy his fight animation, you should check out his other stuff.

Both made by A-1 Pictures, they feature a similar type of quirky, lifelike animation in their first episodes. If you enjoyed Shingo Yamashita's animation, you may want to watch his other involvements. Obviously, Birdy has more action, whilst Kannagi is more realistic.

While the first season of Birdy Decode is a bit chunky and awkward like the first half of Lost Universe, the second halves shine with gripping stories featuring tragic pasts and themes of revenge with characters grown mature and sympathetic.
