Space opera + comedy = these 2 series.
I know that Nadesico has its own brand of zaniness and humor but it is almost the same with Tylor since both heroes (Tylor and Akito) are clueless when it comes to feelings although Tylor excels in being an idiot or savior anytime. The crew of both flagships (Soyokaze and Nadesico) have their own share of oddballs who chew on hapless officers anytime.
So if you liked space operas with a dash of romance and a generous helping of offbeat humor and drama, these 2 series are for you. ^__^

They are both space operas with a twist of comedy. Both shows have quirky characters and deals with going to war with an alien race. They are kind of like the rebels in space.
Martian Successor Nadesico starred a ragtag space crew as they traversed the stars and battled a race of aliens called the Jovians who, in the end, might not be such bad guys after all. Irresponsible Captain Tylor has a similar premise, as the eponymous Captain Tylor and his crew battle the Ralgon Empire, who were also sympathetic antagonists. More similar though is the wacky, comedic tone both shows take. Both Nadesico and Tylor will please fans of comedy anime.

You have a spaceship, an unorthodox crew, a goofy captain, and 90's animation.
One cannot dismiss the striking resemblance as long as you have come across both space opera masterpieces. Having watched Nadesico firsthand before approaching Tylor, I have to admit: the similarities are way too many, yet one cannot help say that both are distinctively unique and different. Since this is but a recommendation, I would reduce the amount of spoilers as much as possible.
Tylor, a seemingly "useless" dude who appeared out of nowhere, is your unexpectedly meaningless protagonist who does not even have a single bit of motivation nor ambition, and just happened to decide on working for the war campaign to get a pension

Similar in tone. Goofy space opera with a darker edge.

Both are space operas.
Captain Yurika Misumaru and Captain Justy Ueki Tylor always make us think, are they simple-minded and extremely lucky? Are they strategic geniuses? Are they pragmatists?
Both characters are happy go-lucky and carefree.
