Synopsis:

Kazuki Yotsuga is able to see things that others can't; in his visions, giant robots battle it out in the streets, causing massive damage in their wake. Though his visions have made him an outcast from the rest of his peers, they have attracted the attention of Ken Sanada – a physicist who believes Kazuki’s visions are a gateway into a parallel world! He places Kazuki into one of his inventions and accidentally sends him to the parallel world in his visions, where he finds himself in the middle of a war for control of the world! Kazuki must now become a pilot of one of the robots in order to join the fight for peace, all the while trying to find his way back to his own world…

Neon Genesis Evangelion

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.

Fairly similar storline: a kid becomes a mecha pilot to save the day. Oh yeah, and is surrounded by pretty girls.
TheBurningCrow
These two series are both devoted to the giant mechs and their pilots. Of course the plan is to save the world, but in Dual you are fighting another country for land, whereas Evangelion you are fighting for the future of mankind.
cron
A serious story on the genre that Dual! is in. It focuses more on the story and cast with more development but features the same ingredients that made Dual! such a fun series.
kamirura
feel like you want more mecha but is abit tierd of the bright, humorous style? Then Evangelion is the right one. Evangelion is alot darker and more serious than Dual. But it still got the same rescue the world theme. Also a cute romance going on. So if you're looking for something really serious and hardcore mecha then watch this one!
CheesyP18
The first few eps of either series, you'll think that its a complete rip off of the other. I saw NGE first so when I watched Dual!, I almost dropped it due to the rip off. But I am glad I kept watching it. While these two series are similar in many aspects, the core of each show focuses on different things. Both are equally enjoyable even though NGE probably has more publicity from it. Main things one would enjoy between these series is probably the mechas and a few philosophical and moral issues thrown into the mix.

Think of Dual!Parallel Trouble Adventures as Evangelion Lite.Not a bad show altogether.
styln

Both of these titles are very similar; a male main character is the only hope of winning against his enemies, and is surrounded by girls. The only real difference is that Evangelion is a lot darker than Dual.

kasharass

For me, Dual is very similar to NGE. The beginning of Dual is very similar to NGE (as well as the ending), and the robot designs are also similar. Dual is far less complicated to understand than NGE, and I liked that it didn't have any religious comparisons. If you liked one try the other. :)

Vilkas

NGE and dual are both quite similar storywise. In both Anime the main character is thrown into the middle of a war, where he becomes the only hope of winning. The main diference is that Dual is much lighter on the emotional and story levels than NGE.

masterbionic

Both anime are very similair with both Mechs as Pilots, in both series the main character, a Guy doesn't want to fight, but only ride the mechs. then we have one girl who is emotionless and learning. and a girl who says what she thinks, and still trying to dodge a lot of questions. the mechs also look similair in both anime

Dual! and El Hazard both feature otherwise shy Japanese high school boys who are transported to alternate worlds of adventure (and get involved in some gender confusion, comedy, and romance on the side). Dual! features mecha-based action and El Hazard is set in a fantasy realm, but they should both appeal to those liking comedy-action series.
Zadillo
Another AIC show in a similar vein, and with great music, interesting and unique animation and a similar guy surrounded by pretty girls premise. You should enjoy it as it shares a lot of the same creators and ideas.
holyzac

If you watched only one of these two animes, Dual! or El-Hazard. There is something wrong with you...

Nah just joking! Both animes are really really nice harem animes if you looking out for a similiar anime than make sure you catch the other one. A little fighting here and there but 10 points for the harem!

TheHermit

Both series can be accurately summed up as, "Boy falls into an alternate world and has zany adventures. Add slightly perverted sense of humor to taste." They're similar enough in both tone and style, so fans of one will probably enjoy the other.

Vandread

Vandread main image

In a far and distant future, men and women have become mortal enemies. Each living on seperate planets, an interstellar war is being fought between the two very different peoples. Hibiki, a mere 3rd class worker, finds himself in the middle of a huge space battle, facing the nemesis of mankind: Womankind!

TheBurningCrow
Both of these series are fairly slapstick as well as a main character surrounded by females and forced to try and save the world/universe in his mech. Of course Vandread takes place in space and Dual is on earth, but the characters are colorful and charming in both.
khyron
Vandread and Dual are both great comedic anime series with lots of mech action. I like them both since they rarely get TOO serious and emphasize more on having fun than on drama!
TheHermit

Mecha action, harem hijinks, and a little perverted humor await in either of these two shows. Both tend toward the silly more often than the serious, but are able to hit with dramatic impact when it counts.

RahXephon

RahXephon main image

Kamina Ayato may seem like an average boy in a devastated world, but after being captured by TERRA, a military organization set on saving the world from the Mu, an alien race set on "tuning" the world, he realizes he is an instrument in deciding the fate of humanity and piloting RahXephon. Not only is Ayato the only person who can control the mecha, but he also has a terrible fate of his own. Holding onto memories of his old life and grasping to keep his own humanity, he must struggle in this new world and realize his true potential with RahXephon.

Another good mecha series
ralphp2
RahXephon is a serious mecha series - Dual! is much more humorous. Both combine a harem comedy in the background. Both have interesting mecha designs, decent animation, and pretty decent music (RahXephon's is better, IMO, but Dual! still has good music). And both have the hero doing it up right, IMO!

Another great series that features mechas, though this one focuses a bit more on the female lead than the male mecha pilot
TheBurningCrow
In these 2 series you have a character who is transported to another dimension to help save the world from total destruction or something to that effect. But both have huge mecha action fights, which is always a plus.
