Noein
Synopsis:
When Haruka, Yuu and their friends decided to go ghost hunting, they had no idea the "ghosts" they'd find would turn their lives upside down. Black-clad and wielding quantum powers, these knights from the future are after an artifact of immense power that they hope will save their dimension from destruction: the Dragon Torque; and Haruka seems to be the key. As factions within the knights violently disagree on how to proceed, Haruka and the gang are caught up in a fight with the Shangri La, in an existential battle where fates of entire universes are decided.

add recDid the questions asked in either Noein or Lain catch your attention? Especially the ones about reality and one's existence which are based on scientific theories? While watching both of these, I was rubbing my head, thinking and thinking some more. They are really great science-based anime.
Both Noein and Lain are hard anime to keep up with. If you're not careful you might suffer some brain damage trying to put the puzzle together. Both deal with pretty advanced and realistic topics of our world. Noein couples a good story with quantum physics, while Lain couples a darker atmosphere with more psychological aspects.
Noein and Lain are definately the 'thinkers' kind of anime. They both manage to really challange the viewer by subtley asking questions about life, the theory behind it and how we perceive it. If you enjoyed the scientific theory and the baffling effect that one had on you, you will surely be as confused and dazzled by the other!
Fantastic Children

There, they encounter the young martial artist Tohma, who has been helping two runaway children from a nearby orphanage, Helga and Chitto. As Tohma learns more about the mysterious children, he also discovers a startling truth about his new friend Helga. A story unfolds that goes back centuries and across the stars, and will change everything in Tohma's and Helga's lives.

add recFantastic Children and Noein share the same feeling of mystery, have unusual graphics, involve children, and deal with questioning the characters' identities. Fantastic Children is darker than Noein, though. If you liked one, you'll surely like the other.
Fantastic Children and Noein are both directed towards a younger audience, however; the stories are told through an intricate world with complex reasoning. Both anime are a sweet combination of science fiction and fantasy, and their plots deal with similar issues such as time travel and exploration of another world. There is also a heavy use of supernatural powers from characters of both anime. (example: flying, creating energy beams, running at the speed of light)
The first thing i noticed between the two, were the smilar characters. lots of characters, dressed in black, from a different timespace/world. with a similar mission on earth.. to bring back a certain person. Both are pretty dramatic, altho Noein surely isnt as dark as Fantastic children, still.. if you watched one, i bet you'll see the resemblence right away!
Gilgamesh
Two siblings, Keiko and Tatsuya, live in a future reshaped by a terrorist attack known only as "Twin X".

Even worse, they are also coveted by their father, the terrorist who caused the "Twin X", Gilgamesh!

add recNeither of these shows are that similar though both provide unique sci-fi elements. Something about one makes me think of the other, but I am not quite capable of figuring it out. So just call it a gut feeling, I think someone who enjoyed one would probably enjoy the other. Just be sure to not give up on Gilgamesh before finishing the first 11, more or less, episodes. After that it grew rather quickly to something excellent, though the beginning isn't bad by any means, just bland.
A shared neo-apocolyptic world view, the battle between opposing fractions seeking a greater power and the strength of human relationships within this, are what really what bind these two series. Either will prvode and interesting take on the future of man.

add recNoein and Fafner have complex stories in which the characters are well developed. In both anime the characters need to work through their hardships from facing foes, and through the psychological damage from their pasts. Because of these aspects together, Fafner and Noein should appeal to the same viewers.
Both animes are very similiar in terms of their complexness. Although Noein doesnt really have any giant robots, they both still walk down the path of the Technology element where lots of technology is involved. Futuristic animes are very intresting to watch so if you watch only one of them, make sure you watch the other!

add recNoein and E7 remind me a lot of each other. Not only do both have a good plot involving a bit of futuristic science, but the mix of emotions ranging from sadness and despair to hope and love make these two a great recommendation for each other.
Both Eureka Seven and Noein have confusing stories where you don't understand a lot until the very end. Also, the main characters have similar complex feelings. The story in these two anime is mostly similar because if there are no battles, it's the sentimental life of the main character that becomes the main plot. If you liked one, you will certainly love the other.
