Synopsis:

In the not too distant future, discrimination is based not on the color of your skin, but the psychic powers you possess. The wielders of these skills (known as E's) are persecuted in the slums of Gald, but are coveted in Ashuram, a military organization dedicated to enhancing these abilities for mysterious purposes. For one man named Kai, his journey from one of Ashuram's best to one of Gald's finest will take him through the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to destroy not only all E's, but all humans on the planet as well...

The easiest comparison for E's Otherwise is Scryed. Both involve a schism within a group of people who have mysterious powers; both have a great mix of fast action and interesting plots.
kamirura
Magic and people with unnatural powers? is that what you're looking for. Then you should check out Scryed. It's truly a great series and it got everything you could wish for.
kerhunge
Yes, I'll concede. It's pretty much a ripoff of Scryed with a slightly different storyline, with scryed being the superior of the two. Watch E's otherwise first, so you can appreciate Scryed that much more!
sublime
The comparisons between the plots of both Scryed and E-s Otherwise are many if not stupidly identical. Super powered human beings in a post-apocalyptic future. An organisation trying to bring peace to a ravaged land, but with an ulterior motive. However you're looking at Scryed being the superior of these two series.
sothis
It's easy to think of E's Otherwise as a Scryed ripoff, but it's not that simple in reality. True, the corollations between the two series is fairly heavy as far as plot, but the overall pacing and feel is not. E's is very slice of life/episodic in a way, for quite awhile, whereas Scryed is more heavily based on action and plot the entire time. Nevertheless, the animation will please you in both, the action is great, the stories are interesting, and all in all, I don't see why you'd dislike one if you liked the other.

If you liked E's Otherwise, you would like Scryed because  quite frankly its basically the same story. They are so much alike storywise that I'm not hundred-percent sure that I could put the correct title on just a summary of one of them.

Well, it would be stupid not to recommend E's Otherwise if you are looking for anime that are similar to s-CRY-ed, or the opposite not recommend s-CRY-ed if you liked E's. The two are very similar, but unlike other reviewers I do not find them identical. The animation style is different, the presentation is different, and even if the plot is somewhat similar I can name quite a few anime where main characters have special powers and battle with/against a might-be-evil organization.

If you enjoy watching a young man with interesting abilities go up against a corrupt organisations and other people with interesting abilities, then either of these shows should do.

Witch Hunter Robin

Witches is all I can say. The character development is the same as in E's otherwise and in this one it's more an old style of hunting witches than a new one. It's magic from beginning to the end. I'm sure you gonna love Witch hunter Robin if you enjoyed E's otherwise.
sothis
Though Witch Hunter Robin is remarkably more dark, it definitely is similar as far as the raw plot, but also the general dark feeling of it. Admittedly this dark feel is only around in E's during the very first and last parts, but it's not a huge stretch to think you'd WHR if you liked E's.

Both animes contain characters with psychic/magic powers. Normal people hate those with psychic/magic powers, and thus the psychics are allowed a limited use of their powers. But not all care about that, some misuse their powers. Then there are those people in organizations with secret objectives who want to control the psychics/witches. Both animes contain may fights, as well as a small touch of romance.

If you liked E's otherwise you should check out Tokyo Underground. It definitely got the same magic and power discovering. Though E's otherwise feels a bit more serious than Tokyo Underground but I still think you would like it alot. It got nice and crisp coloring to as E's Otherwise.
kerhunge
Another series based losely on the scryed theme, however TU sways further away than E's Otherwise. Clean and crisp visuals and slightly goofy characters make up this anime
sublime
Hard to not make comparisons between this series, Scryed and E-s Otherwise. However E-s Otherwise takes itself a little more seriously than Tokyo Underground. You still have super powered teenagers and a big corporation at the heart of it all, so a good watch nonetheless

If you're looking for the same sort of theme you should check this out. But Ayashi No Ceres got alot more romance and is more focused on two characters. But still a close call to E's otherwise.
sothis
If dark and sinister undertones under the veil of an experiment gone wrong is your thing, you'd enjoy both Ayashi no Ceres and E's. Though AnC is definitely more romance based and girlie, both are very similar in a number of ways, including the overall feel.

She's the most technologically advanced cyborg, and everyone is attempting to get their hands on her, but this hard-hitting femme fatale is determined to find the source behind the pursuit. Armitage 3 is an enjoyable anime movie if you enjoy a lot of superhuman fighting.
