Chobits is another anime that has this in common, even though written and published and illustrated by the same people tha animation looks a bit different.

Ah! My Goddess
Written by Kosuke Fujishima

Piano! The Melody of a young girls's heart
Written by Kosuke Fujishima
Published by Kodansha
Tales of Symphonia
Character design Kosuke Fujishima
Play station 2 and 3
Mechanical designs by Kosuke Fujishima
Tales of Abyss
Tales of Vesperia
Tales of Xillia
Tales of Xillia 2
These are all made by Kosuke Fujishima, when I see his work I can recognize his work easily. I enjoy his work. Ah! My Goddess is the best though.
Fujishima wanted to be a draftsman, but he had to take the editorial role after failing to get a draftsman apprenticeship. He became an assistant manga artist to Tatsuya Egawa it the production of the making "be free!" manga. He started to make his own manga series in 1986 "You're under arrest".
Fujishima has a love of motorcycles and auto mobiles and it shows in his second manga Ah! My Goddess, There is a character in the manga who loves his bike and he is in a club, where he builds and drives bizzare looking vehicles. Ah! My Goddess was extremely popular and he is now known as an individual manga artist. I love the manga very much and the anime, the artwork is really pretty.
He also does character design for several Tales RPG game series and the game Sakura Wars.
I can see the similarities in the characters in the games and Ah! My Goddess, especially in the older games like Tales of Symphonia, Ah! My Goddess was made in 1988, it looks like the game around 2005.
