If you liked Izumo, you'd like FY because the plots of these anime are similar. Fushigi Yugi is a must see, I mean it's a great romance/comedy anime with fighting, sorrow and a little bit of magic involved. If you were into that kind of thing in Izumo you absolutely MUST see this anime.

Scrapped Princess and Izumo -Takeki Tsurugi no Senki- both depict alternate realities where swordplay and magical combat span across two forces at war and a boundless, foreign world. Both animes feature a conflict where neither side is truly 'right' or wrong, where one side fights for a change they feel would be beneficial and the other fights against that change. Though Scrapped Princess is distinctly more Gaelic/European flavored as opposed to Izumo, which has a very Japanese style to it, the two series are still similar in execution.
