Both these shows are a homage to their genres: in the case of TTGL it's a celebration of mecha anime from the 70s to today, and in the case of Nadesico, it's a celebration of the space opera genre, spiced up with mecha (since they are a crucial ingredient in many space operas). If you're looking for similarities beyond that, look no further than Kamina and Gai Daigoji. Gai was the original which inspired Kamina in many ways.

They are both 70s mecha pilots trapped in modern mecha shows, they are advocates of GAR and believe that the manly spirit solves everything.

...then you might like The World Is Mine add

Change society through violence.

The main characters of both stories follow their own moral guidelines, which clashes with society as well as some of the readers, since they will without a doubt consider a manga contradicting their own moral beliefs to be automatically bad, despite execution.

For the rest of us which have no such qualms about the morals of the characters we follow in the story and who likes our main characters to be different from the typical, brain-dead shonen lead, both of these are great reads.

If you liked Vagabond add

...then you might like Shamo add

Both stories are centered around a protagonist striving to become the strongest warrior. They are both men who walk their own paths, furiously pursuing their dreams and stepping over bodies if necessary. They are both perceived as evil by the majority of people they encounter, but both are shown to be in possession of redeeming qualities even though their hearts are filled with darkness. Still, they do in fact have people who care for them and support them from the sidelines, and it's through these people as well as the people they encounter during their quests that allow them to grow as humans, negating the down-ward spiral they are both caught in. If they actually manage to break away from the darkness in their souls remains to be seen.

Both mangas revolve around martial arts and the people who practice them while contaning plenty of graphic violence. None of the main characters from either story is what one would call "a good guy", they are driven by their ambitions, and they don't mind stepping over the bodies of their competitors. Garouden can in many ways be seen as a somewhat less character-driven and a more shallow version of Shamo.

If you liked Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi add

...then you might like Change 123 add
