If you did like El Hazard then you should love Fushigi Yûgi. both got this travel to a nother world story and two classmates fighting eatchother (FY = best friends, ELH = rivales in school too). both series is filled with magic and while the characters are traveling in the fantasy world they meet alot of new fiends that come along the way. in El Hazard there is a boy that have the main character while in Fushigi yûgi there is a girl that tarvels to this fantasy world. In fushigi Yûgi the girl comes alone to the fantasy world or have to disscover the world alone, when in El Hazard the boy comes with alot of people from school.

Another series where high school students get warped into an alternate reality where they must fight to save the kingdom from evil.

Aimed at girls, this series is heavy on love and humor. Very fantasy related, dealing with two girls taken into a magical world. If you enjoy the fantasy genre, and can handle cries of "Tamahome!!!" every 30 seconds, this series is for you.
Prettykitty20034

These are both stories about school kids being transferred to another realm. There are a few other similarities as well, such as the cheesy humor, the warrior woman/dude entourage, and the animation style. If you really liked one, the other is worth a watch.

Escaflowne is the same genre as El Hazard. Fantasy world full of strange delights. If you liked El Hazard, you will surely like Escaflowne.
miaka
If you did like El Hazard then you should love Escaflowne. both series got this travel to another world team. both series conatins magic but Escaflowne got this armor suits thing and lovely wings spredding. In Escaflowne there is a girl that has the main character while in El Hazard it is a boy. In Escaflowne it alot more love (a cut little love storie) than there is in El Hazard. they fight more in Escaflowne too then they are doing in El Hazard.
XMrNiceguyX
BOth series are aout characters warped into a fantasy world and in both series they are trying to find a way back. THough the main difference between the teo series is that in El Hazard you got more the feeling that you are in a fantasy world, because of talking bug and is more comedy oriented. Escaflowne contains alot more character development, "mecha", though has graphics you'll-need-to-get-used too.
TheBurningCrow
Another anime where the barriers of a dimension are crossed and the characters are thrown into an unknown world.

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.
MaximusThrax
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.
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.

Like in El Hazard, we follow a group of people from our world that are stuck in a fantasy world and all the predicaments that spring from that. Those Who Hunt Elves focuses more on comedy and has a more episodic nature, but the feel of the two series are very alike. If you like one, odds are good that you'll like the other just as much.
APDS
a bit more comical than El hazard but a worthy watch and gotta love the fantasy worlds

Magic Knight Rayearth

Another fish out of water tale. Not as serious, but an interesting entry none the less.
MalteseFalcon

El-Hazard and Magic Knight Rayearth feature high school students that are sucked out of their own world and thrust into a land of magic and adventure. All of them soon discover that they have new, unique abilities. A good thing considering they must embark on a dangerous quest! Both series share a similar feel overall, so if you enjoyed one, you should give the other a shot.
