COMMENTS FOR MACROSS FRONTIER
As one watched the first episode of "Suisei no Gargantia", the humans must battle an strong, alien lifeform, the Hideauze. In "Macross Frontier", the humans also battle an lifeform, the Varja. In both cases they do damage but aren't able to win out.
Of course this is the only resemblance between the two. But it's a good start.

COMMENTS FOR CHILDREN OF THE WHALES
In a world where people live on moving islands in an endless ocean, a soldier who has only known war ends up stranded in a peaceful society. There's an emphasis on a lost history and the antagonists are dogmatic militants.

COMMENTS FOR CROSS ANGE: RONDO OF ANGELS AND DRAGONS
As someone who generally doesn't like mecha anime; these are two mecha anime I actually did enjoy. Also, they have some similarities and contain similar plot twists. Both anime have a main character that gets seperated from their home, and end up in a poor isolated area. The war against the DRAGONs in Cross Ange is also very similar to the war against the Hideaze in Gargantia.
The main difference is that Gargantia contains more slice of life, while Cross Ange contains more ecchi.

COMMENTS FOR VALVRAVE THE LIBERATOR
Both are great action mecha series who started airing in spring 2013 and provide great mecha battles and a little romance in between.
The only big difference in the animes is that Valvrave starts with a boy who is used to a peaceful live and has to adapt to war while Gargantia starts with a boy who is more like a programmed soldier then a human.
If u like a slower pace series thats more story driven i would go for Gargantia and for a good fast pace action series i would go for Valvrave although this is just my opinion.

COMMENTS FOR GURREN LAGANN
They start off similarly and I feel there are lots of parallels in the first few episodes. The endings are completely different though, so it's definitely worth a try. Different twists in both anime so you won't feel like you're re-watching Gurren Lagann.

COMMENTS FOR TENCHI MUYO! WAR ON GEMINAR
it's real similar, I think. A boy that is 'transported' to a completely different place and learns about it from the people he encounters and makes friend with. They both pilot an extremely powerful machine that capable of mass destruction. Isekai is more of a harem, while Suisei no Gargantia is more about character development. I think overall they're similar anime and if you liked one, you should like the other.

In both series, there's science fiction themes but more importantly, it involves a main male protagonist whose lives are changed forever after a certain event.

COMMENTS FOR EXPELLED FROM PARADISE
Gargantia and EFP are both written by the same person with similar premises, so they resemble each other quite a lot. If you enjoy one, you will definitely enjoy the other.
Both are about a person who goes to a new place, only to find their perception of the world turned upside down. They both raise questions for the viewer about the way the protagonist should live their life. They're also both sci-fi with post-apocalyptic settings.
