Synopsis:
In a time of great heroes, the evil Sephiroth and the power of Meteor were vanquished by a warrior named Cloud Strife and his companions. Now, though the life stream of the world has been restored, certain people have become sick with Geo Stigma -- an illness which is as mysterious as it is incurable. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a new enemy has appeared: Kadaj, who holds the key to the destruction of all life. Against insurmountable odds, Cloud, Tifa, Barrett, Cid and the rest of the gang must band together one last time to defeat Kadaj and save the world from annihilation.

add recFarfetched as it may seem to some, being the true enjoyer of superpowers as I am (with some typical shounen elements as well), I do say that Bleach and Advent Children share some similiarities that not only lie in the great swordfights. If you haven't watched the other yet, give it a try.
Advent Children has a lot of sword fighting in it. If you liked it because of that you should definitely try out Bleach. The Shinigami are sword-wielding spirits, the animation is good and the story is even better.
In this anime did you like: A main character with a big sword? Fight scenes? A deep plot? Animes that you can realte to in some way?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions then no doubt this Anime is recommended for you.
Both these anime have all these aspects in them, and if you enjoyed one. You will probably like the other.
Now I've watched little Bleach recently, but I must say, there are some noticible things that correlate these two togther.
Big swords, Quick fightin, Pretty slick bad guy. If you enjoy any of these in an anime, then these are the things to watch.
Both Cloud and Ichigo have big ass swords that are about the length of their entire body. Oh, and there is action . . . with big swords. If you like weaponry, then these are the shows for you.
Karas
Unbeknownst to humans, demons from an overlapping dimension walk amongst them in the streets of Tokyo. The balance between the worlds is kept by the crow guardian Karas and Yurine, its master and voice of the living city. However, the time of harmony nears the end as the once-Karas Lord Eko returns. Seeking to purge humanity for its evils, he terrorizes the city with his minions that feast on human blood. The ultimate battle between good and evil awaits; can Yurine and her newly initiated Karas prevail against Lord Eko and protect their city against his monstrous horde?

add rec"Karas" and "FF VII: Advent Children" are dealing with special times in the lives of the heroes, times of change, decision and action. There was a lot of attention to details in developing the characters, the stories support the art beautifully and the ending is surprising. Some of the best fights in anime, state of the art FX, great music for both of them. Action fans will probably get obsessed with these.
Both films are very action based and make good use of CG in them. If you like the CG fight scenes in anime then this is the one for you to watch.
Karas and FF7AC, hands down, are action-packed popcorn flicks with plenty of eye candy to go around. They dont have similar stories, but you'll watch both and think "wow, that was badass!"
I strongly prefered Karas: the Prophecy to the exceedingly fanboyish FF7AC, but fans of one will probably enjoy the other.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Alt titles: Evangelion
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.

add recBoth have lots of gloom and violence, except Neon Genesis Evangelion has giant robot battles while FFVII AC has high powered cloud on sepphiroth action. Either way, they both are seen as pretty epic, so I'm sure you'll like them.
Quite a bit of fighting and a main character who can go emo and the flip of a switch are two things that these two share. Evangelion dives a lot deeper into the dark areas that FFVI:AC, but FFVII:AC has better looking battles. Differences aside, I would suggest trying them both.
Fullmetal Alchemist
Alt titles: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
Once upon a time, two brothers passed the happy days of their childhood by studying alchemy, which is governed by the equal transfer principle: an eye for an eye -- you can't get more than you give. But these brothers tried to defy that law, and a horrific accident resulted. Now, the older brother, Edward, is called the Full Metal Alchemist because of his metal limbs, and the younger, Alphonse, is a soul without a body, trapped within the confines of an automaton. Together they search for the power to restore themselves, to find the lives they lost so long ago...

add recBoth stories have thier serious sides. They also have thier touching sides, and a drop of funny in them. Both have a maincharacter that you can relate some of thier feelings about things to yours.
Both of these anime have a deep plot, the main character in some form of inner turmoil and a large scale problem.
In both these anime you are made to symapthise with the main character and support them along the way. Another similarity is that in both of these shows, we see what the opposition is up to just that bit more than the protaganist(s) do. This gives us a more wide spread view of events and makes for a different way of enjoying the show.
If you enjoyed one, the other is definately for you.

add recBoth are great movies with amazing CGI animation and a serious feel to them, with the occasional laugh. A futuristic setting is where they both take place, and the main characters are both trying to destroy a great evil in their respective worlds. Both are wonderful pictures and are quite the experience to watch.
