Guilty Crown

While TTGL is much more focused on the actual mecha aspects whereas in Guilty Crown it's just a periphery element, the storytelling has some some similarities. Both main characters, Simon and Shu, go through a crazy amount of hardships and losses especially with those close to them. They each have a role model that they look up to and want to eventually become, and both characters go through a significant amount of character development, changing from weak-willed little boys to mature and respectable adults. There's many similarities too in terms of character relationships and plot events, but giving away any of that would lead to

So what to say? At first i wouldn't have thought that those two series have something in common.. at least not this much. But, the more i went ahead and watched Guilty Crown, and the more i felt somehow of a bond between this and TTGL.
• Well, as i said, besides both of them share sci-fi and (lots of) action genres, doesn't seem they have anything else.. but~
• The more you get to know GC's characters, and the more you become to notice how their relations is similar to TTGL's ones.
Let's analyze better: they both have a pretty badass leader (Gai / Kamina) who encourages

TTGL is a lot more over the top, the drawing styles are no where near the same, and the story lines are slightly different.... But the similarities are unmistakeable.
If you liked Guilty Crown then you'll love TTGL (unless you're not a fan of over the top comedy & action)
If you liked TTGL then you'll probably think guilty crown is a cheap imitation whose story isn't even close to the same.... (Can't help fanboys & girls lol)

It has the same story-telling, the same treason and the same end.
It's the same anime in other universum.
GC is basically the more serious version of TTGL. While TTGL has a more comedic way of going about things, GC has a more deeper and serious way they do things.
Characters:
Kamina=Gai
Simon=Shu
Nia=Inori
Yoko=Ayase
Viral=Daryl (In a way)
Rossiu=Yahiro (In a way)
Plot:
A rebel group fights another group. Both of them use mechas to fight one another. Both use a special power to assist them in fighting. Both have two parts. Both involve a main character that goes through the challenge of leading a group. The first halves are very similar. Both include a rival that faces the main character and his group.
To be honest, it's kinda hard to do this

The best way to enjoy Guilty Crown is the same way to enjoy Gurren Lagann. Don't think to hard on the story and watch the awesome shit being displayed. Guilty Crown has the same amount of cool action scenes, pretty visuals, great music, development for the main character, charming romance between the main two leads, emotional moments and well-down themes and messages as Gurren Lagann. They both also have a lot of plotholes which is why it's better to not think to hard on it's story writing.
