Both series are similar in genre, and are a must-see for those who are into space wars and mecha. While Zeta is more about robot fights, LoGH focuses more on battle tactics, strategies and politics behind the war conflict. Both are old school anime with old school animation, therefore the art is somewhat similar as well.
Both are about a paramilitary organisation within the Federation who gains power and influence to a point where they actually control the government and use tactics such as genocide and mass murder along with numerous other atrocities to stop insurgent groups.
Those Anime are the greatest mecha anime, all of you should see them
When I saw Toshokan Sensou, this anime is remind me of Zeta Gundam. MBC is like Titans and LDF is like AEUG. There is also featuring civil war. MBC want to ban the books which is compared to Titans where they tries to ban the spacenoid. I could imagine when they are anti-anime.
This series resets the values of the UC timeline. Newtypes was just an ephemeral construct caused by war between human's who have opposing viewpoints on the evolution of mankind. Defining evolution only holds back the advancement of mankind, this Gundam was mind-blowingly deep. Super underrated
Happy Cooking Hour with Tomino!

Take some finely minced Zeta Gundam, with its 'Real Robot' genre, load of Teh Drama and confusing mess of characters' relationships and emotions. Next, add in some Ideon with its weird mystique and quasi-philosophy. Finally, spice it with some Double Zeta Gundam to bring out the silliness taste. The resulting dish, called "Brain Powerd", should display strong Z Gundam flavour with characteristic Tomino tones.
Classic 80's Sunrise mecha shows. While the storyline and characters aren't really comparable between the two, the shows do give off a similar kind of vibe and atmosphere. Zeta Gundam is often noted as being one of the darkest Gundam series out there with a very serious tone and so forth, and Votoms itself is very gritty, realistic, and all around consistently mature. Votoms has a trio of goofy and likeable characters for some comedic elements but at the same time, the show sometimes feels even darker than Zeta. Both tend to get a little supernatural by the end and it works really well. Chances are if you like one of these shows, you'll be able to appreciate and enjoy the other a lot too.
The main character Aim For The Top! is the female version of Kamille in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. If you liked Zeta Gundam, then Aim For The Top! is a must watch. Both anime series are classics and a blast from the past. The two mecha series rare based on coming of age stories and the people they meet along during their journeys.
Of all Tomino's non-Gundam works, Aura Battler Dunbine is probably the closest thing to basically being another Gundam, a medieval Gundam perhaps. Above all a lot of the characters and the general tone of the show feels closer to Zeta rather than the original Gundam series and others, so if you enjoyed the grimdark storytelling through Zeta and are a fan of Tomino's style, then definitely check out Dunbine. Oh and yeah, both are "Kill Em' All" Tomino for the record.
