Fang of the Sun Dougram has a handful of parallels to the original Mobile Suit Gundam series but in return, the execution and storytelling is tighter, more detailed, and more mature. Not to say Gundam is bad! But if you want a real Gundam for adults? Dougram is it. Classic Ryosuke Takahashi rocks.
There are several similarities between Mobile Suit Gundam and Fang of the Sun Dougram. Both series are set during a war between Earth and its colonies, where one side is fighting for control and the other independence; both have an extremely likable cast; and both involve a prototype mech that's more advance than its predecessors. However, Dougram focuses more on politics and battle tactics than Mobile Suit Gundam, and it also follows a small group of rebels fighting for independence, rather than members of Earth military. Both are essential viewing for any mecha fan.

The original Mobile Suit Gundam created the "real robot" genre and the first to follow this movement was Fang of the Sun Dougram. It's the most underrated Gundam-like but one of the best written. It's one of the most extreme definition of "real robot" thanks to a very realistic worldbuilding.
If you like the realism and politics of Gundam you'll like Dougram. It's as good as Gundam if it's not best.
