Synopsis:

Sho Zama, an up and coming motorcycle racer, has been whisked away to the world between shore and sea, Byston Well. The world of Byston Well closely resembles medieval Europe with one exception: it contains giant robots called aura battlers. Brought to this world by the power hungry Drake Luft because he possesses the rare gift of aura, Sho is forced to fight in a war between two warring nations as an aura battler pilot. Can Sho find a way home, and what of the continually-expanding conflict?

Alt titles: Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion main image

In the future, a devastating event known as Second Impact destroyed Tokyo as we know it, giving rise to the current day Tokyo III, a city under siege by mysterious lifeforms known only as Angels. Mankind's only defense are Evangelions, man-made machines piloted by Rei, Shinji, and Asuka, all who are the tender age of fourteen. The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.

If you liked either of these shows, you got to watch the other!

Dunbine was the true father of NGE: Anno always admitted he was a huge fan of Tomino and the similiarties among the shows are countless..

Biologically based mecha that common weapon can't hurt, as they are covered by barriers powered by something metaphysical and that they can only penetrate among themselves; a lead mecha pictured in violet; insect-like mecha-design; similar characters like Ciela Lapana and Rei Ayanami (luckily there's no Shinji in Dunbine :P) and so on...

Escaflowne

So one moment your a normal person living on Earth, then next your in a fantastic land in the middle of a war?

Both of these titles are similar in nature due to the whole fantasy element, but also more so for the mecha, which resemble medieval Armor.  Dunbines look a tad insect like, but still hold on to that European Dark Age look.
