Both have the slight Mecha feel to them, but not enough to make you go insane. Also, they both have the comedy and school/slice of life elements in them. If you like one, you will probably like the other!
For me the only difference is that FMP has a lot of comdey in it and Code Geass doesn't. Both are, at least for me, the two best animes in the genre(mecha, action...)!
Well all i can say this both animes are similar to each other,the only thing I can mention,that in Code Geass u can see more "Blood" than Full Metal Panic,and in Full Metal Panic u can see a lot of comedy,but they are very similar ,have mechas and all.
Both aboput war and suffering, but Full Metal Panic has a funny side to it as well. Although the stories are different, they are both about the war against different countries and using robots to fight.
As soon as I began watching Code Geass I was reminded of Full Metal Panic!
Whilst the storylines for both series differ greatly they're both similar in the sense that they aren't your conventional Mecha style anime.
Although Code Geass features a lot more mechs than Full Metal Panic! does, it goes more into the people piloting the mechs, their emotions and relationships and develops each and every character efficiently.
Rather than possessing a storyline along the lines of "Evil mechs are invading, ALL GOOD MECHS LAUNCH AN ASSAULT". Code Geass is similar to Full Metal Panic! in the sense that the story revolves around some form of magical power, in Full Metal Panic's case it's the Whispered and in Code Geass' case it's the Geass and CC. An added bonus, which it also shares with Full Metal Panic!, is that rather than just slapping this magic power on people and saying "Yeah they have this power so they can do stuff" the anime goes into detail about the power and it's origins, although it still keeps a lot of things in the dark for the next season, it makes the power of Geass believable.
Although these anime differ greatly from one another there are still those core elements present in Code Geass that I enjoyed in Full Metal Panic! and would definately reccomend to anyone who's watched FMP! to have a look at Code Geass.
Mecha, Military and I think a bit of romance? Meh. They are both similar at my prespective.
The plot is the same with a huge difference in tone. Both have mechs and such with a main character with a special ability.
In FMP it is the Whispered, while in Code Geass, it is C.C.
The FMP is at best the funniest, however it can, at certain points, be as 'dark' as Code Geass.
FMP is much lighter, with a greater amount of comedy, but both are excellent series that have highly-intelligent characters, war, romance, mecca and a good story
while in code geass, the male lead, lelo command the other female leads cc and kallen, and in fmp, the female lead kaname or tessa basically command sosuke. so in this feature, the sex is totally swaped..In code geass there is just as much mecha action as fmp. they both involve a special weapon that both protagonist and anatogonist control and as they struggle for victory. In code geass the special weapon was the Avalon, and the Lancelot and the other 9 knights of the round. But in fmp its the landad driver. FMP focuses on comedy and current settings, while code geass is sci fi and is set in the future and doesnt go for the comedy as much... in the end, i think these 2 great anime is interconnected. one literally reminds me of the other.. and up until now, i havent heard of any1 who likes fmp but doesnt like code geass... i greatly recommend it !!!!!!!!!
They share the same basic concept of war and strategy. And also the use of robot machines that beat the crap out of stuff.
High school guy who's part of a military group in an alternate-history version of modern Japan protects a female who's close to him, has ridiculous-yet-awesome super-powered mech fights, comedy's interspersed throughout the show(FMP! has far, far more comedy though). If you like one, then there's no way you won't like the other.

Both have very similar plots. Gundam 00 is more serious while Full Metal Panic! is comedy oriented.
Main characters have similar backgrounds, and as result they are both pretty emotionless. Both series are mecha, and are about organizations fighting against terrorism. Also, Gundam 00's Innovators are somewhat similar to FMP's Whispered.
they are both about young a kids who was originally from this arab looking country as members of a guerrilla team that took down mechas but then turned good and so became a mercenary and later he meets a person he knew when he was a guerrilla and has to fight him. the only difference is that one killed his own parents and the other didn't talk about them another difference is that one is mostly comedy and the other is mostly action. they both have to do with mechas and robots and having the most advanced weapon on their side. all in all they are amazing animes if you liked one you will like the other.
Very good mecha series, with many political intrigues.
Very similar story line the main character with and evil past trying to make the world better around him
Mecha, action, guns, drama, and a little romance. Both these series are excellent science fiction anime with both protagonists having military experience. They show why they are in the military and doing what they do best.
The plot is kinda the same, both group don't belong to the Army but they are fighting enemy for a better future......Mobile suit Gundam have more awesome fighting but Full metal panic are funnier.

Both are 26 episodes-long mecha series with plenty of comedy and action.
But above all, the characters in Nadesico and their relationships are eerily similar to the ones in FMP. In both we have a pretty dense mecha pilot guy (Sousuke/Akito) who's competed between a friend (Kaname/Megumi) and his captain (Tessa/Yurika). Sousuke and Yurika are even physically very similar to Akito and Kaname. In both anime we also find the tsundere, the meganekko, the ladies man, the cook, etc.
Screwball antics one minute, fierce realism the next. It's a bit more serious and harder to swallow, and definetly not as family friendly, but FMP! draws a few parallels.
Mecha batles, boys meeting girls, saving the world.
Similar artistic style and humor throughout both animes also, though the high school setting of FMP is substituted for a battleship in MSN (more akin to FMP's submarine setting)
Both are funny action mecha shows with a blue-haired girl in love with a pointy-haired guy who pilots one of the robots. FMP! is more of a real robot show while MSN is about super robots.
Both are amazing fusion series of romantic comedy and mecha action.

Because of Kazuma and Ayano. Their relationship is similar to those of Chidori and Sosuke. And their both funny. But, their difference is that, FMP uses military theme while Kaze no Stigma uses magic theme.
The main characters are strikingly similar, a serious-minded male lead and a tsundere female lead. Generally action oriented with a subtle/light-hearted romantic feel, so they are also akin in genre.
The relationship between the main characters kinda reminds me of each other.
Also the atmosphere. The guy and the girl, falling in love fighting side by side and in the breaks without fighting, they go through everyday problems.
Also the production studio is the same... but that doesn't count to much...
Both are Action/Romance shows based off of a novel from Monthly Dragon Magazine, where a strong male lead has to protect a weak, but strong-minded female in a High School setting. The main difference is that FMP! is mecha, but KnS is Swords/Sorcery.
the girl protaginists are almost literally excalty the same, acting tsundre towards the main protaginist
theres a bit of a difference one it comes to the guys, for FMP the girl always beats up the guy, while in kaze no stigma, he's always dodging it
also they both have dark pasts.
o, and a rival appears too for both of them.

Black Lagoon is similar to FMP with the whole Mercenary thing, but Black Lagoon is a lot more vulgar than FMP. Both great series.
If you liked Black Lagoon, you may like Full Metal Panic! Both series are action-filled and involve mercenaries and are based from a naval unit. Black Lagoon is a bit darker, more bloody, more philosophical, and a bit more personal in the fights while Full Metal Panic! has more humor and silly episodes. However, when the action starts for Full Metal Panic! and the bullets start flying and people start dying you'll enjoy this series as well. There's mech sliding, grenade throwing, RPG lauching, booby traps setting, hostage taking, body-guarding, character kidnapping, submarine diving, ambush laying, AK firing, and other assorted mayhem in Full Metal Panic! that will fill the action that you crave.
Well, these two series have gotten my attention and I like to say that FMP and Black Lagoon definitely has some similarities that I found entertaining to watch throughout its course of the episodes.
Both series involves two individuals who has a strange bond with each other. One half of the pair has skills involving the usage of guns and other weaponry while the other serves as a sort of mentor/guidance of the duo.
Both series involves a group that hires others to complete specific tasks. These tasks are often dangerous and puts their lives at risk.
Both series' main cast of characters all are independent and have skills of a mercenary including the operation of various vehicles and handling of weaponry.
Both series has a lot of action, drama, and some emotional moments as the series progresses.

The main male character are both clueless to regular ways of living. This is just a taste of comedy while full metal panic is widely more enjoyable
both male protagonist grew up in an unusual environment and both female protagonist always beats the male protagonist . . . i like full metal panic though, its because of the humor
Both have a badass fighter forced to go to high school who completely overreacts to everything and seems to always leave a trail of bodies, a blue-haired tsundere love interest who beats the crap out of said fighter, lots of "accidental pervert" situations, large amounts of slapstick comedy,and the list can keep going on and on.

♫same genres (Action, Sci-Fi, Mecha)♫
♫i think Full Metal Panic! is a parody of Neon Genesis Evangelion♫
♫iIf you ever wondered where the author of FMP! took his ideas from, then Neon Genesis Evangelion might be the answer♫
♫Neon Genesis Evangelion is quite close to Full Metal panic because of the fighting scenes and the main charcters being male nearly children (Sousuke Sagara and Shinji Ikari have some things in common too, both are very obidient and extremely good at what they are doing)♫
♫Neon Genesis Evangelion is a lot more serious though while Full Metal Panic has much comedy in it♫
♫iif you liked Full Metal Panic! you should watch Neon Genesis Evangelion because it will help you understand more of the jokes in Full Metal Panic♫
There are a lot of similarities. i think the idea for full metal panic might have come from Evangelion. these are both really great anime.
Neon Genesis is quite close to Full Metal panic because of the fighting scenes and the main charcters being male nearly children. Sousuke and Shinji have some things in common too, both are very obidient and extremely good at what they are doing. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a lot more serious though while Full Metal Panic has much comedy in it.

Teenager controlling big robots to fight the enemy with a girl the same age as him that he loves helping him with her visionary abilities, with a little bit humor here and there. What's NOT similar?
Mecha / Love story with great plot
Another mecha anime. strong. held back male characters...and both leading ladies having strange powers that,in different ways, links them to the lead males mecha.so many good things to say about both..will sum it up with: both are a MUST watch!! ^_^

|

They both have a western comics feeling, main characters are really GAR and they are very good comedies.
mecha action. some character development and gd storylines. dash of comedy too
Unbelievably awesome robot fights with great characters, comedy, and did I mention the robots?

Both are science-fiction, military-related anime although Toshokan Sensou doesn't have mechas. The main male characters give the same feelings but are quite different. Toshokan Sensou deals with book protection task force while FMP is oriented at resolving world terrorism and conflict. But both are military organization that works for an ideal, justice and freedom.
Both are military stories incorporated with similar light-hearted comedy time by time.
Both anime takes place in a military setting and has a strong female lead. They both have a bit of comedy and romance with enough action to keep the story moving.
|
|
|
Kurenai's style is a little more unique, while FMP has more romance. But, at the core, both stories are similar in humor and in plot - a young guy is entrusted with a girl to protect and so on...Plus, both stories are very good. Watch them!
In both animes the heroine is being pursued by someone important and a bodyguard is hired to protect them. Eventually the girl begins to like their bodyguard.

Similarities:
- Mecha
- Both involve a single soldier experiencing a different life
- Both soldiers have no clue about the world around them
- They also both don't know anything besides how to fight
- They both involve a female protagonist
Differences:
- Redo comes from a different world all together
- This has a more discovery/adventurous feel while FMP! has a comedy feel.
From both series, there's an tense atmosphere involving the military and the main characters. The usage of mecha is incorporated into combat and there is a mysterious vibe regarding the origins of the main character.
Additionally, it seems that the main protagonist from both series lacks common sense of the real world. They also gets off with a rocky start with the main female protagonist in the series.
There is action, drama, and some science fiction themes present from both series as well.
|
|
|
Full Metal Panic! and Soukou no Strain both have a similar Sci-Fi/Military/Mech feel to them. They both also feature a lead female character that is going through a dramatic situation.
There is no doubt that sci-fiction and military themes are present in both of these series. Additionally, there is action and drama and even signs of psychological identity in both series as the episodes progresses.
|
|
|
Both are excellent "real robot" mecha anime, and share a very intense and "realistic" feel towards the combat depicted. Both have a strong romance subplot, though 08th is minus the high school setting and related wackiness and also bit thinner on the humor.
08th is also a very good series to get into Gundam, it's set in the same universe as the classic Gundam series however it's more of a side story then anything else.
They both feature "realistic" warfare, but with mechas!

Black Cat is like FMP because they share starting plots. A guy is lost in life (or being controlled) and has no real freedom to do what they want or strive for. So they go on through life until a girl leads them away from their positions of command and give them a new point of view. This is how FMP and Black Cat is alike and why I would recommend it to somebody that likes BC or FMP.
The stories are fat fetched but the main characters in black cat and full metal panic are similar because you have a serious main character and complete nut job anarchist and a side characters that's always silly and needs to get laid!

In Katanagatari and Full Metal Panic! both main characters have dull senses and carry important duties-protection; nonetheless, they overcome them and encounters different battles altogether.
-Protagonist protects main heroine
-The not very smart protagonist except fighting
-Lots of comedy
-Action
-Romance
|
|
|
I kept thinking of this series while watching Shana, a boy/girl pair fighting evil, some cute romance, love triangles and lots of action (though there is no magic in FMP) but if you like one, you'll love the other!
girl is tough on the guy in the begging, but then likes him
both series are great because they combine romance/action
|
|

The lead characters are incredibly similar. Kaname and Akane and both short-tempered, and violent, but also kind, sweet, and easily embarrassed.
The male leads, Sagara and Ranma, are both romantically and sexually clueless. The relationship that they have with the female lead is also very similar. Both have incredible ability in combat, which often gets them in trouble.
An extremely skilled and strong male protagonist with a big secret has to go to school with a fiery tempered dark-haired girl who continually beats the crap out of him for social faux pas or for accidentally getting into some sort of sexually suggestive situation.
Both shows are incredibly funny, as well.
|
|
|
both are mecha anime but while Bacuretsu is more serious FMP has more comedy involved.
Lots of comedy? Cool mecha action sequences? Mercenaries and secret organizations dealing with conspiracies and various underworld affairs? You will definitely find these aspect in both FMP and Burst Angel! If you liked one of them then you will enjoy the other one as well.

I find that Saber (F/SN) & Sousuke Sagara (FMP!) are very similiar. The pragmatic soldier type that thinks of battle 24/7. While FMP! was more comedic because he was out of place F/SN has Saber in the right environment. The Romance story also takes on a more serious tone. While FMP! keeps the shounen inexperienced, lack of bravery in all regards romantic like confessing one's love; F/SN manages to develop romance and pay it off. Both Male & Female leads are in High School or of that age but comedy is rare in F/SN, the tone remains that of FMP! battle scenes for the most part. F/SN is kind of the medieval seinen of FMP!
FMP! might be mecha/comedy, while F/SN is a more serious magic/action show, both have some similarities that make them both pretty compatible for viewers. Both are about a highly skilled, serious, tough-as-nails character (Sagara in FMP, Saber in F/SN) who have to protect a high school student (Chidori in FMP, Shirou in F/SN) because they hold the key to aquiring a magical macguffin. Over time, they open up, and they start questioning if they're fighting to protect Chidori/Shirou for their original mission, or if they are fighting because they care for them.

Its a High School Girl & a weird strange boy. Kaname Chirdori, the main heroine of Full Metal Panic shares many characteristics of Kagome. Sousuke Sagara, the main hero, is more like Sesshomaru without the pride. With the perverted Kurz Weber and battle-ready Melissa Mao to round out the major group, it leads to funny high school slapstick and awesome Mecha action. And with Teresa (mistranslated as Teletha) "Tessa" Testarossa to complete the romantic triangle comedy.
Both are about a genki girl who
a) proves to be more than she seems to be (a reincarnation of a powerful miko in case of Kagome and a Whispered in case of Chidori)
b) becomes involved into a stuggle between major powers through her male friend
|
|

Well, the two of them have a lot of comedy.
And a little similarity in 'school things'.
The two of them are awesome for comedy/romance.
:D
Both of these are hilarious high school slapstick comedies, though FMP has mecha action thrown in and School Rumble has a big love dodecahedron sub plot.
|
|

♫both of these series have amazing humor, which is basically girl getting mad at boy, for boy behaving totally inappropriate (Kaname Chidori to Sousuke Sagara while Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière to Saito Hiraga)♫
♫both of it have perfect balance between action and story♫
♫also, both have their moments of cool action, but also they dig really deep into the emotion life of the main characters♫
♫If you like the romance or action of either Full Metal Panic! or Zero no Tsukaima, you'll definitely like the other♫
Guy who's forced to go to a school in a culture he can't hope to comprehend gets tangled up with a Tsundere, constantly gets into all sorts of misunderstandings and altercations (hilarity ensues, obviously), has to fight one villain after the other, and you just can't help but grin when someone gets punched.

mecha, mecha, mecha. and a dash of character development and some romance
Both are mecha/"fighting spirit" hybrids with a heavy dose of comedy and romance, with both featuring massive conspiracies, fate-of-the-world-rests-on-a-teenage-boy-using-a-robot plot, etc
|
|
|
both have "child" from forign country's working for the military and are both ACTION PACKED with little offbeat humour ,deffinantly alike in ways
Both series contain a strong female protagonist who is independent and has her morals.
Both series has action involving the military, use of technology, and creating social and political conflicts between various factions.
Both series has a mixture drama, comedy, action, but also tense moments that are touching and memorable.

♫same genres (Action, Mecha, Sci-Fi)♫
♫a strong willed hero with a thing for mecha's meets up♫
♫the male protagonist is forced to work with something he's never seen before or never work with - a cute chick♫
♫if you liked the humor in Vandread: The Second Stage, chances are you'll appreciate Sousuke's position in Full Metal Panic, as he is charged to protect, and worse, rely on, a beautiful high school student with a strange gift♫

Despite the fact that Full Metal Panic is like a Gundam series while Pretear is like a Sailor Moon/Captain Planet hybrid, both shows utilize a similar style of comedy, have many similarly stereotyped characters, as well as both having entertaining action sequences in between.

If you like the Seed then you will enjoy FMP. Tessa Testarosa is very similar to Lacus Clyne. enoy
|
|
|
They are both about unusual soldiers. They both have comedy and are fun to watch.
|
|
|
They share the same basic concept of war and strategy. And also the use of robot machines that beat the crap out of stuff.
|
|
|
For semi-serious military and mech/tank type themes and fights as well as over-the-top ridiculous situations regarding those same mechs/tanks. Check out Girls und Panzer.
|
|

Both series revolves around the theme of mecha and their usage in combat and war.
Both series contains an unique relationship between the male and female protagonist. Additionally, the female protagonist in both series are strong and independent figures who can take care of themselves.
Both series also contain a little comedy at school and mixes it in with drama, action, and later some emotional factors.
|
|
|
Both series contain mecha usage as well as military references. Of course with that, there comes missions that the characters takes on daily after training.
The characters in both series are interesting to watch and both series contain plenty of action, drama, and some humor.

*there are knives in both but in full metal panic its mostly the robots with the knifes
*izaya and gauron are both really mean but silly
*izaya and gauron both cause fires
*i think izaya would definitely become a terrorist for fun and gauron is a terrorist who has fun at work
*they both have wacky twin sisters introduced later

Both give the same feel, have big action, and are geat funny comedies! The only diference: DK - magic, FMP - mecha. If you like one of these anime, you will love the other one too!
-both anime main male characters act, look, and sound almost the same.
-both anime main female characters like the boy, but don't want to admit it.

An unusual mix of typical high school hijinks and gunplay.

Dai-Guard and Full Metal Panic are opposite sides of the same coin. Full Metal Panic is a super robot show that masquerades as a real robot show, while Dai-Guard is a real robot show done in the style of a super robot show. Dai-Guard closely examines some of the themes that Full Metal Panic takes for granted (like what would compel a private company to fund a mecha project, and what the military's response would be to a privatized defense program). Both series enjoy their comedic moments off the battlefield.
|
|
|
Both Series have a protagonist who is socially inept, but likeable anyway. Also, for both their ability is only partially due to special abilities and largely due to actual physical training on thier part. Both are dark tortured souls though they come of as mild-manored and in control.
|
|
|
Definitely watch this if you liked mobile suit gundam. Personally I liked full metal panic better because of the settings. Full metal panic's conflicts and battles seem more realistic. Yes there is mecha's but this deals with things like nuclear weapons, political attacks, demand and request etc etc. While mobile suit gundam 00 goes to unrealistic things like the linear train, space battles, and more. Nonetheless, both are great animes and I liked them both.
|
|
|
They are both have fighting in it, theirs also a whole bunch of romance and blood in these animes. Both have groups fighting each other.
|
|
|
♫same genres (Action, Comedy)♫
♫both of these series have ordinary schoolboys thrust into rather unordinary circumstances, trying to live their normal life anyway♫
♫both of it have plenty of action, comedy and a subtle, glowing kind of romance♫
|

Great comedy shows loaded with slapstick humor, overly ridiculous jokes, "magic", etc. Though FMP! is only half-comedy, you're bound to like the action, and while Karin seems like it has a stupid premise, it's actually quite clever.
|
|
|
Both of these shows are about a teenager who is the only one capable of piloting an incredibly powerful mecha. Mithril and Terra have some similarities as organizations, and if you watch the English dubs there are a lot of voice actors in common.

The stories are different in these, but thy are both funny and pleasant to watch, with characters you really grow to love and identify with. . .
|
|
|
The main male character is beaten up by the object of his affection daily
|
|
|
Eventhough the story and main objective to these anime seem different there are many similar things to each. These anime are both mecha and action ,added ecchi, both have a kind of head strong main girl character, and i found the art style ,most of all ,to be very similar to each other
|
|
|
the relationship between kaname and souske is very similar to the relationship between taiga and ryujji
|
|
|
Many of funny moment ,many of action , moment of nice music ..... very cute shoujo's & of course MECHA'S !! .. so if you like FNP style maybe you gonna liked Macross F ..
|
|
|
lots of macha action plus a tad of cuteness and comedy XD
|
|
|
both have comedy (slapstick), action though one's mecha & other's like explosions/magic, main leads are like similar in some way.
both are serious & light.
|
|
|
well let's see.. there's the mecha, the fighting for justice, the comedy, the love-story, the high school drama, the partial nudity.. guess it's pretty similar.. actually, it's even better than mai-hime in my opinion.. especially when you get to the next 2 seasons.. yep.
|
|
|
Both shows have hilarious comedy in between action. Both shows feature a bit of a romance. The only thing FMP has more of is Drama. Kenichi has more comedy and ecchi moments than FMP.
Also the male VA for Sagara Souske does the voice of Shirahama Kenichi.
Both shows are really lots of fun, so check them out!
|
|
|
Vandread and Full Metal Panic are both mecha action comedies with some romance mixed in here and there. I think these two series are similar to each other and are some of my favorite mecha series. Each series deals with a main character having to learn to adapt to new surroundings, people, and life style. Vandread its guys being thrown into an all girls world and in FMP its him being thrown into school life from military life.
|
|
|
It has action, fun and great characters!
|
|
|
Both anime are set more or less in present-day world. Main characters of both anime have supernatural powers that they are not awere and are also quietly protected from underground groups. Of course in time they learn to use their powers.
|
|
|
Both anime are set in present day world, and are about person unknowingly containing vast knowledge inside them being cought in a conflict between secret organizations
|
|
|
They're both Sci-Fi and the relationships between the main characters are similar. Both of the two male main characters work to save the world or the country. They're also quite different but they're good in their own way.
|
|
|
I noticed that Naru and Kaname have similar looking face and attitude. They're both violent, and both of them often use harisen to knock off Keitaro and Sousuke.
|
|
|
Both anime are great mecha anime. Both anime have that love aspect that makes the mecha more interesting. Just like in Full Metal Panic, the main character in Kurogane, Hayase Kouichi, has many girls that like him. Kurogane no Linebarrels draws you in. Kurogane fighting scenes are excellent.
If you liked Full Metal Panic then you will like Kurogane no Linebarrels.
|
|
|
In both ther are mecha, schoolgirls as main heroes, male characters who are weak in iunderstanding women, and systems of connecting human mind to computer.
Stellvia is more shoujo though
|
|
|
One of the humorous jobs the main character in Full Metal Panic! has to do is...be the trashboy. Yes, both animes make a strangely poignant emphasis on taking care of the trash properly, and even though everyone makes fun of the task, it shows how big a deal it can be every now and then. In that regard, both shows have very similar playful humor not to mention tiny bits of blooming romance scattered throughout, while undertaking highly practical, dangerous, challenging missions. Oh yeah, you just can't forget! There are funny training moments, since space training and military training tends to be amusing in anime. Overall, there's cool action, technology, and ships! I think both shows also have to deal with terrorists and some scary "baddies" as their main threat as well. Both shows are very engaging to watch and very accessible; however, Planetes doesn't have mechas (I'm pretty sure, anyway) and has less action but has no less intrigue and suspense than Full Metal Panic! does. One more thing, even though there are some complex situations at hand, neither Planetes or Full Metal Panic! becomes too difficult or painful to understand.

Number one thing that both share are the Mobile Suits with which the main characters fight. In both stories a young male is the main character who fights for what he thinks is right, both find pain and love as they try to make their way through life. But Full Metal Panic has much more Comedy in it than Gundamn Seed, though at soem times the story gets rather serious.

Both are heavy into the military type setting where a small organization is trying to prevent large conflict. Overall very similar with the female and male relationship and plot. Full Metal Panic will probably seem like a more relaxed show. Both are good watches and I would recommend them both to anyone with any interest in mobile suits.

Both are Sci-fi, military-related anime with mechas. The main male characters give the same feelings but are quite different. Also some comedy and little bit of drama. If you like one then see other too.

♫Full Metal Panic and Chrno Crusade have the same structure and feeling: they kick off with some action, comedy, light-hearted stuff, but farther into the anime, things turn more and more serious at the same time, as the underlying plot becomes more and more visible♫
♫both of these series feature a strong-willed energetic character (Rosette Christopher and Kaname Chidori) and a more silent, different, and somewhat out-of-this-world character (Chrno and Sousuke Sagara)♫
♫also, the series both have a mix of comedy, romance, and drama which gets darker and darker as the series builds♫
♫if like the main characters in one of these series, you will surely like the other♫
