add recBoth Basara and Juuni Kokki feature a female lead who is unwillingly thrust into a position of responsibility and power that they must fight to obtain. Both focus on the world, Junni Kokki more so, and feature the environment and social prejudices as major plot elements.
Both Juuni Kokki and Basara give the same feel of epic adventures. Both with a female lead overcoming great obstacles along their path.Both were also left unfinished.
Both anime are about a girl who has to decide if she will be the leader of people and save the country and opose those who are against. If you liked one because of action and predestination, you would definitely like the other. But I have to add that both series are not finished and they may never be..

add recBoth anime are about love and predestination. The main heroine in both series has to overcome various obstacles so that she could be with her love, which seems to be impossible. At the same time both series contain action, fights. They both deal with the value of friendship. Both are dramatic and well developed.
