Fafner

These shows might appear to be about saving the world from unknown enemiees at first. But at a closer look one will soon realise that there are a lot more to it than meets the eye. Character interraction and character development aswell as questions regarding life and it's existence are abundant in these shows. These things are shown extremely well. Definetly something for someone who wants more than just senseless action.

Both NGE and Fafner start the same : Humans are under attack by a strange invaders. And it seems that a number of 'gifted' children are the only one standing between survival and destruction, there's the only ones capable of controlling the mecha's constructed to battle the invaders. However as the story progresses the mecha/action slowly shifts towards more psychological anime in which deeper laying themes surface: What are the invaders? What's their purpose? Both anime have a complicated yet very intriguing story, good action scenes and absolutely lovely characters!

Both Evangelion and Fafner employ mechas and monstrous creatures to develop the characters of the pilots and their inner conflicts. In addition, both series have a penchant for the philosophical: Eva tends to be darker and perhaps more confusing while Fafner is more straightforward and optimistic.

Fafner and Evangelion go hand in hand. Evangelion is what started it all and Fafner is a newer version. Fafner picks it up and changes it slightly, it tosses out some of the bizarreness and keeps the psychological and story aspects. Don't let this fool you though, these aren't simple clones and are both worth watching!

If yoy like Mech's anime, and you like that it has an imporntant amount of misterious, you would like both series. Evangelion is more misterious and Fafner is a little less, but perhaps a little more dramatical. Two stories of very youngs boys that are forced by the circunstances to take control of a machine of destruction... to protect their loved ones.

Fafner and NGE are really very similar series. Both have semi-post apocalyptic worlds which are hidden from the main characters, and both have enemies that are not fully understood and are basically invincible except against mechs. They also share a philosophical focus on the loneliness of indivuality, although Fafner is rather straightforward and easy-going on this matter, whereas NGE will throw your brain in a sack and beat with a stick.

NGE and Fafner are like brothers born a decade apart (or close to that) - both have very similar themes and concept. Both are about fighting an unknown enemy, both have giant robots (although Fafner doesn't have purple ones), both have kids piloting the said robots, and both have people going psycho. Even in the first fight (of both anime) the protagonist was pitted against an enemy without any prior training (and then suddenly powering up to win. Plots are different in the sense that Fafner is slightly less depressing than Eva, and that Fafner has a yaoi factor going for it.

In a sense, Fafner can be said to be the younger generation's Eva (though much less epic in my opinion).

Both NGE and Fafner are very similiar in terms of plot. They both engage children in war and only the special children can pilot fafners/evangelions. Both series concentrate on the boy main character. Although the characters aren't very similiar they share the same problems. Both shows are highly addicting and worth at least a try.

I loved both NGE and Fafner. I had read that fafner was an eva clone and at first i thought so too... but it gets very good and interesting.

Both animes revolve around a main charakter that is a teenager with a mecha and psychological problems and are both very good.

If you liked one you'ill probably like the other.

While the theme itself isn't similar there are a lot of things which are. Character interraction and character development aswell as questions regarding life and it's existence are abundant in these shows. These things are shown extremely well. Definetly something for someone who wants more than just senseless action.

Gundam Seed and Fafner are both based loosely on a plot of a bunch of high school kids getting caught up in a war, piloting giant robots, and trying to overcome many obstacles. If you liked one you should also greatly enjoy the other.

Both anime were made by XEBEC which means they are very similiar in terms of animation and character design. Both series make you think about human problems and overcoming difficuilt obstacles. Very similiar in both anime are the character relations, that the creators made them very very well.

Fafner and Bokurano deal with young pilots who are forced to ride mechas in order to defend their homes at all costs. Fighting an enemy whose true nature proves to be ambiguous, the children in both series are manipulated by corrupt adults and must find the strength to deal with the chaos and violence that threatens them. Bokurano is perhaps a greater tour de force than Fafner (with its relatively tame content), but in both cases the personal relationships established between the pilots, each other, and their loved ones are at the forefront of the narrative, providing a solid emotional background for the action. Both series highlight the role of family as they develop character-driven stories that are bitter sweet and very moving in their emotional rapport.

Fafner and Bokurano both have the basic Evangelion concept and have chosen children battle it out in robots. But in both, our new heroes must find their own way amidst all the chaos. They must look at themselves, at the world, and must definitely not lose track of their enemies. As the fights continue the two anime keep becoming more similar, but the stories in each are still refreshing and different enough to keep you interested until the end.

Both anime deal with the psychological toll inflicted on the young pilots of giant mecha who solely hold the faith of the planet in their hands every time they battle. Both anime also start off in the same unassuming way before all hell breaks loose. Get ready for alot death and suffering in both. If you like one you will like the other.
