Heroic Age
Synopsis:
Far, far away in a distant time, there is a tribe of people called the Golden Tribe who have the ability to create stars and foretell the future. They gave out a warning to those who have yet to mature: 'Move.'. Three tribes answered their call: the Silver Tribe, the Bronze Tribe, and the Heroic Tribe. Soon after, the Golden Tribe encountered a crashed ship in which only a baby human known as Age survived; they named the child's race the Iron Tribe and assigned one of the few living members of the Heroic Tribe to protect him and his race. Now, in a distant part of the galaxy, humanity is threatened with extinction at the hands of the other tribes. With only a prophecy to go on, they set out to the deepest depths of space to find their savior named Age -- humanity's last hope.

add recBoth Heroic Age and Fafner come from Xebec (Animation Production & Original Creator). Which is why the animation is very similiar in most area: mecha, charakters & light effects.
There is also similiarity in music, especially the opening music in both serie.
The plot in Fafner is pretty much the same as Heroic Age: a single boy must save the "world." Both boys have similar character designs. The opening themes are also written and sung by the same person, Ubukata Tou. Therefore, if you liked Heroic Age, you're sure to like Fafner.
If you like Heroic Age, then Fafner will definitely please. The action and quality of animation are rather similer, and fafner has a similar story to Heroic Age. Fafner also excels in the character department, so no matter how you felt about Heroic Age's cast, you will be impressed by Fafner.
the 2 series are similar in the factthey both face the end of man kind but both take a totally different route. if u like one of them u will definitelly like 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 recNeon Genesis Evangelion and Heroic age are examples of the mecha genre. The primary mecha in each are biological entities of massive power that are controlled in a degree by a young boy. Both the design and the disposition of Bellcross and EVA Unit 01 seem similar. Add to that the philisophical undertones of what it means to be human, and you have a number of similarities.
Evangelion is for those who are more interested in heavy philisophical discussion, while Heroic Age is for those looking for a more casual action series. If you enjoyed the action and philosophy of one, you should try out the others take on it.
Well, in both series the mecha part was made quite originally. They aren't just pieces of metal but living beings. Thinking and deciding by themselves, although in most of the series they are rather obedient to their masters/owners. Both series are fun to watch some even say that NGE is epic series (well, maybe for someone but I would argue).
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
Alt titles: Gundam SEED
The universe of the future is divided between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT. After a year of war, ZAFT attacks the neutral colony Heliopolis to steal five prototype mobile suits. The mission is a success, but a young man named Kira stumbles upon the fifth Gundam, and he may be the Alliance's only hope...

add recAction, large-scale space battles, a tiny bit of comedic relief, drama, mecha and character relations are the best things of both series. I think that after watching one of these animes you will just fall in love with mecha series. Animation is outstanding and main characters are likeable. What possibly would you want more form an anime series?
Space journeys with big mecha fights - this is largely what the two have in common. However, Gundam Seed is far better at providing interesting characters and exciting space battles. It also has that epic feel that Heroic Age strive to go for. Definitely don't miss out on Seed if you thought Heroic Age was good stuff.

add recThe action in these shows are pretty equal to each other. If you like Heroic Age, but want something a little more lighthearted and funny, Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is probably your best bet.
they are both the best SciFi anime created until now, although they have different story lines the action starts on the earth and then evoulate until the universe. They bouth talk about the revolutionary and evolving minds of the human beeing is. If you liked this series you sure whant to see this one too.
Toward the Terra TV
Alt titles: Terra e... TV
- TV (24 eps)
- 2007
Centuries ago, humanity carelessly ravaged the Earth’s environment, forcing them to leave and form a colony elsewhere. To prevent the same mistakes from happening again, they allow a supercomputer to run their lives. Children are genetically engineered and at the age of fourteen take ‘adulthood exams’, a process whereby the supercomputer ensures they are suitable for membership in this perfect society. Those who pass have their memories erased and are guided into the next stage of their life; those who fail are immediately destroyed. Jomy is a boy about to take his adulthood exams, but things go terribly wrong when a man wreathed in light interrupts the process. He is a Mu -- an aberration, a new generation of human with extraordinary powers usually detected and eliminated by the supercomputer. This man tells Jomy he too is a Mu and introduces him to the Mu society. They are a rebel group in hiding from the oppressive human regime, who live in the hope that they will find a life of peace on Earth some day. Can Jomy leave behind all that he has known, come to terms with his awakening powers, and help the Mu return to their beloved Terra?

add recBoth follow a species as they struggle to survive in the hostile galaxy. The protagonists are very clear view of their objective and put their lives on the line to achieve that goal to save everyone.
Both anime are about humanity trying to fulfil their destiny. If you liked the concept of psychics in Heroic Age, the epic feel of the plot, and the emotional way in which it tries to answer big questions about humanity's place in the world, then you should definitely give Toward the Terra TV a go. It is simply better in every way (animation, story, character development), although it takes a little longer than Heroic Age to build up.
