Eureka Seven

Eureka 7 has a similar feel to Evangelion: both deal with human psychology and touch on themes like action and romance to keep them accessible to a wider audience. Both have a great and frightening mystery lurking - something so frightening that the characters are torn between their choices. Will they collapse and have a nervous breakdown? Or will they harden themselves and see things through?

Eureka Seven and Evangelion are both anime about big robots and mysterious blue haired girls. Aside from that however, they both deal with the deep psychological issues of the protagonist. If you enjoyed one, you'd like the other.

Seriously, these two anime share a lot of things, and yet are so different. If you liked Eureka Seven because of the funny parts, then this recommendation won't do a lot for you; but if you liked the whole end-of-the-world-chaos thing in the plot, Evangelion would be definitely be one of you favorites. Plus one could say that Eureka is Rei's young sister.

Both Evangelion and Eureka Seven are bout mecha and their pilots. There are also questions about the nature of human beings in both of them, so be sure to check them out.

Both series center around emotionally awkard children, giant mechs, their mission to save the world and crazy underlaying philosophical references. Watch them for their similarities or watch them for their differences, just watch them.

I would recommend Eva to anyone who likes Eureka Seven because of nearly the same theme of romance and mecha. Through out both series there is a relationship growing between two important characters, Rei and Shinji / Eureka and Renton. Both are that soft, calm, and slow forming relationships, where you really just want to know if they really do get together at the end.

Teens piloting Mecha, a strong emotional story, and awsome battle really bring both these series to a level that not many anime reach. Truely fantasic.

The plot line of both stories are similar; a rather weak boy who had for some reason lost his parents, is drawn into a conflict he doesn't really understand.  Each has giant robots (mechs), strong female protectors, dubious male influences, and strange blue haired girls.

Think of Eureka 7 as a less psychologically twisted version of NGE.

Eureka Seven has much lighter elements than Evangelion, but both explore the ideas around human psychology fairly thoroughly. Additionally, both have a protagonist drawn into a conflict he doesn't much understand, pilots mechs, and eventually gets into quite the mental mess.

Eureka Seven and NGE are both mecha series about a war against an unknown, "inhuman" enemy. One of the big questions in both series, is wherever the enemies they're fighting against actually are the ones being wrong and "evil", or if humanity is the one at fault. While they both have their moments of seriousness and comedy, Eureka Seven tends to be a bit comical and lighter, due to the occasional random comedy (and awesome rainbowexplosions).

Last Exile and Eureka Seven are very similar in many aspects. Each series revolves around a young boy who has developed a love for machines, be it a Vanship, a trapar board, or an ancient mecha. Both series follow the boys as they leave their small hometowns, develop new relationships, and discover the secrets of the world and how to save it. These two anime share the same feel and both have awe inspiring endings. If you enjoyed Eureka 7, you will surely enjoy Last Exile, and vice-versa.

Last Exile is an amazing anime that features some of the same great animation, character development, and music as Eureka 7. The characters of both anime successfully go through transformations to become better people, which serves in making them more real to the audience. You are left loving the music of Eureka 7 and begging for more, where in Last Exile, the music is well placed and inspiring. Both series include amazing scenery and creativity on the part of the authors.

Eureka Seven and Last Exile both involve a lot of military air combat and flying ships in the middle of an intense war. Both anime have very appealing character designs, beautiful animation, and a wide variety of characters to attach to. Renton and Eureka from Eureka Seven best resemble Claus and Lavie from Last Exile--they are an unusually skilled team who are all about uniting the world, yet they are just kids. Holland, the leader of the Eureka 7 crew, best resembles Alex Rowe, the leader of the Last Exile crew. If you watch the english dub, they even have the same voice actor!

Both are excellent series with a focus on flight, and involve the main character(s) joining a rogue aircraft with a brooding leader and a likeable crew. In Eureka Seven the technology is more futuristic, while in Last Exile it's a steampunk-influenced combination of old and new.

The character development is amazing in both series'. I felt as if Tatiana later on in Last Exile was a direct resemblance to Eureka, while Claus also looks and acts similarly to Renton, too. Emotions are crazy among characters revolving around Claus and Renton and there is a TON of military combat in the skies, ship-to-ship battles, and baffling story developments that keep you guessing.

Each of the main characters are searching for themselves and the resolve to come to terms with their families history, which is also tightly intertwined within each plot and this also pushes them forward giving them a reason to move forward.

Is it possible for Claus or Renton to live up to, or perhaps, surpass their fathers?

Though differing in technological standpoints, Eureka Seven and Last Exile are a good fit for each other. Whether it be Renton and his passion for lifting or Claus and his Vanship fervor, both series' main protagonists end up on a rogue craft seemingly designed to play right into their loves. But all is not well in the skies, and the vibrant crew as their companions aim to make right the wrongs of the world.

Air Gear and Eureka Seven are two shows that I think anyone can like. The both have a love story that you can get wrapped up in as well as character depth and development. In Air Gear it the development is on the main character and his interactions with the ones closets to him and the ones that try to protect him. In Eureka Seven the development of the character comes to life when the world is at war and change is needed to get through the tough times. Both serious have action and sometimes comedy while Air Gear has more of the latter. The emotions that the characters express and feel will hit you the viewer sometimes when you don't even expect it and other times you will. One thing that they both share in common is their ideas on personal transport and their methods. One has you flying around on personal air boards and the other on your own motor powered skates. If you like high flying adventures, love, depth to your characters and a little laughter then watch either one of these shows. There is a small warning as some episodes of Air Gear contain swearing and covered nudity.

Both shows deal with tools that are used in order to allow humans to fly. Groups form; one "prodigal" child comes from nowhere and sweeps the world by storm.

Both Air Gear and Eureka Seven focus on a young boy who is incredibly determined to succeed. In Air Gear's case, it's Ikki, a young boy who just wants to be amazing at Air Trek and in the case of Eureka Seven it's Renton, a boy who has fun by lifting. Both of the series are full of action and maybe a few crushes. They both hae great art styles and are highly recommended.

Both anime put a fantasy spin on extreme sports, Air Gear is to Roller blades and E7 is to Surfing. Thats the obvious comparison. I also think the the story builds in a similar way with the main characters wanting to live life in there own way. both are very fun anime that makes you really root for the main characters and their passion. If you liked one, you would definitely like the other.

Both stories are about a young boy who is a little naive and is sometimes easily fooled by others...he is however, very very good at what he does best and also has (eventually) a group of friends that truly care for him (and vice versa)...I personally found both series very entertaining, with some tremendous action scenes along with some really laugh-out-loud moments

Although, Air Gear does not have a "proper" ending (the story continues in the manga), Eureka Seven has a very fitting ending (although some may suggest the story could've been a little shorter - it was fine for me though)

Overall, however, there's much to like about both series and despite the obvious differences (story, Air Gear has more ecchi, etc), I personally enjoyed both series and open-heartedly recommend them both.
