In a world known as Soul Shell, floating islands are mankind’s only protection against falling into oblivion. The power of the song is able to heal wounds and create miracles; a power that the young Orica can’t seem to master. After his ship crashes, Orica finds herself in the company of Laina, a fighter who desperately needs to return to what’s left of the sky. Together, the duo set out to find an engineer who can repair Laina’s ship; but monsters are afoot! With shifty engineers and fire-breathing beasts in their way, can the two manage to stay alive?
Both series revolve around young girls who fight using the power of songs and as expected they both have fantastic soundtracks. Story wise the two shows aren't really similar due to Ar Tonelico being a single OVA based off of an RPG but fans of the OVA/game should check out Symphogear; while Symphogear fans should test out AT's ova and possibly move onto the original game as both series carry the same theme that any conflict can be solved with words alone.
One clear festive evening, Lucia, a mermaid princess, rescues a young boy from drowning. With him, she leaves the source of her beautiful singing voice: a pink pearl necklace. Several years later, Lucia has grown into a young woman, and embarks on a quest to the human world to reclaim her pearl and find her lost love.
Both of these are series where the lead females fight by literally using the power of song. Although Mermaid Melody is much more light-hearted, fans of one might enjoy the other.
In the future, a devastating event known as Second Impact has destroyed Tokyo as we know it, giving rise to Tokyo III - a city under siege by mysterious lifeforms known only as Angels. Mankind's only line of defense are the Evangelions, a set man-made machines piloted by a trio of fourteen year-old teenagers, Rei, Shinji, and Asuka. The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these three children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.
Both of these shows have a similar plot; they're about children who are chosen to help fight against monsters that are attacking Earth. Although Senki Zesshou Symphogear has a slightly more magical-girl feel to it, and isn't nearly as good, their battles still remind me of Evangelion.
Far in the future, humans have begun to live in space colonies and interstellar travel is the norm. This epoch is home to Akiha Shishidou, a daughter of the wealthy and powerful Shishidou family. She is a girl with no ambitions and seemingly no direction, until she bumps into Leopard, an obnoxious, arrogant and slightly crazy "brain colony." Soon, Akiha is enlisted by an enigmatic young girl named Honoka to steal some parts for Leopard, and her life becomes filled with danger, excitement and the occasional run-in with the Inter Colony Police. Akiha must work to reassemble Leopard in the midst of conflict and in the face of a mysterious malevolent force lurking in the shadows. Is she really, as Honoka says, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Space?"
This is more of a gut feeling rec; they feel similar even if their context isn't. Both revolve around girls (who happen to wear similar outfits), and are slightly futuristic. If you're a fan of one, I recommend giving the other a try.
