Well you have your celestial warriors and then theres your love connections between each one of them to the priestess and well.....
Same basic show and premise.
Like Fushigi Yuugi,the most important character in Harukanaru Toki no Naka de is a girl called to another world,Kyou. Her name is Akane,and she has been chosen as "Ryūjin no Miko" or in english: Priestess of the Dragon God. The one who called her to the new world is Akuram,the Demon lord. With Akane,her friends Tenma and Shimon is also dragged with her to the new world. There,she must fins all 8 Hachiyō (Hachiyou.) The 8 Hachiyō protects the Miko,with their life. But all of them starts to realize that she means more to them then just being the Miko. And,will Akane be able to control her new-found powers? More importantly,will she and the 8 Hachiyō be able to defeat Akuram?
The anime is based on a game,and in the game you will be able to chose how it ends. This is important to know,so you wont be confused when watching the anime-end.
Very similar themes - a miko recruiting warriors who are represented by Seiryuu, Suzaku, Byakko and Genbu
Similar in almost every way. The only difference is the length; HaruToki is shorter with only 26 episodes while Fushigi Yuugi is longer.
Basically the same show except the miko serves a different god.
In both Fushigi Yuugi, and Haruka the main girl gets transported to a new world. They become, priestesses to protect the world from chaos befalling the land. Plus they each have several protectors who help them in tight situations.
These two shows are extremely similar. A couple of high school students are transported to a "different" world and the girl is chosen as a priestess. No difference! What you need to know are the differences, which are: in Fushigi you have a harem anime with tons of romance and the love triangles/squares/whatever are blatantly obvious, plus lots of comedy. In Harukanaru there is a much more serious tone and much less romance (well, it takes much longer to be revealed and then it's much more discreet). Other than this, the plot is almost identical.
There's a girl who travels through time in both series and she has to collect seven mens to protect her and save the world. And both are priestesses, in Haruka; Ryuujin no miko and in Fushigi Yugi Suzaku no Miko. The theme is actually quite the same!
A girl in present time goes back to the ancient world to be a miko. Reverse harem theme. Fushigi yuugi is longer and has more depth, while Haru toki is shorter so you don't get dragging. Similarity: 3 1/2 *
both of them revolves around a girl from another world n they have many good looking guys who is protecting them so it kinda look similar in many ways. there s also romance involved n adventure..anyway i prefer fushigi yuugi cuz its wayy better but i enjoy watching both of em. gudluck >.<
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyou Shou~ is the adopted pet of Fushigi Yuugi. It borrows a lot of the themes from the older anime, such as one girl who is a miko having the protection of a group of extremely attractive men, some of which who are interested in her romantically.
they are both about a priestess and about 4 gods/people
They both have a girl that is pulled into another world. They both have the same four gods - Suzaku, Byakko, Genbu and Seiryuu. The girls are both made mikos - Miaka is the Suzaku no Miko and Akane is the Ryuujin no Miko. Both Mikos are surrounded by men and they are both of their GUARDIANS - both have signs (Tamahome and the others have chinese signs, Tenma and the others have jewels). Also, more than one character falls in love with the main character - like Tamahome and Hotohori and Tenma and Yorihisa.
Girl transported to an ancient world and is the chosen Pristess, has to find her warriors to complete her role as the Pristess.

Yuu Watase's greatest animes
The story line of an average school girl being dragged into a much more fantasy like world or situation is similar to that in fushigi yuugi. This is also a reverse harem anime, much like fushigi yuugi. The romance in this and the love triangle and obstacles are also similar in the two shows.
Both were beautifully done by Yu Watase and also have very unique stories in both of the series. Lots of fantasy with a mixture of romance in each of the stories. Enjoy!
Directed and written by the same respective director and writer. One is more naturally-paced than the other but both needs a lot of tissue boxes.
They're both created by Yuu Watase so the characters look very much alike and the mood of the series have a similar feel. They also both have this "you and me agains the world" theme and they each have their share of tragic, tearjerking moments. If you also like the track Wakatteita Hazu from FY, then you gotta check Scarlet from AnC. They both have a sad yet beautiful melody.
Even without remembering that Yuu Watase was the same magnaka for both series, I was already picking out similarities between these two animes within the first two episodes. The way romance is approached, art style and high dramatic appeal is pretty much identical. If you liked one, you'll probably like the other.
Yuu Watase has made both of them so they both have a love triangle, lots of drama and romance, and such :)
Both anime's are created by anime aclaimed author Watase, Yuu. The graphics and designs of characters are pretty similar. A story of risking one's life for the protection of another...Endless mysteries, magical powers, and intense romance.
Same author, same art style. While watching one you'll get the feel of the other. Both are made up of romance and fantasy. The only difference is that Ayashi no Ceres has a more serious atmosphere while Fushigi Yuugi has some comedy thrown in the mix.
They have a similar story line and were both written by Yuu Watase.

Both animes are set in Ancient China, and the character design is rather similar. Although Saiunkoku doesn't have an adventurous plot like Fushigi Yuugi, whoever liked the background of Fushigi Yuugi should check Saiunkoku Monogatari.
This anime struck me as very similar from the very begining, Saiunkoku developed its own story line, but the time period is simlar, and the characters are simlar as well. From the loveable emperor, to the distant traveler. Saiunkoku is perfect if you liked everything about Fushigi except for the overly mushy Miaka and Tamahome.
Fushigi Yuugi and Saiunkoku Monogatari is somehow the same because of its reverse harem type. They make you fall in love with the guy and girl characters too. For me, Saiunkoku Monogatari is better than Fushigi Yuugi because of its story. Saiunkoku Monogatari is more on the realistic/political side with the side dish of comedy and love...
this is similar because there are love triangles, kinda same drawing, and both are ancient time.. ^^
the time and place that revolves around the story is similar. it's also a reverse-harem, bishie infested anime. not only are there a lot of bishies, most of the characters on both anime falls for the main girl. on top of that, both heroines on both anime have some facial similarities.
both animes are set in the ancient era...
besides,some of the characters look so much alike...
especiall with emperors hotohori and ryuuki
both have strong women as the protagonist and are surrounded by handsome and reliable men...the art is similar too

Both are long stories that are mostly about the main couple and their fight against a powerful foe. They both have their funny moments as well.
Both are similar because they involve a modern girl who gets transported to alternative feudal Chinese world. They also appear to have some of the same historical Chinese myths and legend occasionally. Both are fantasy anime but Fushigi Yuugi seems to involve more dramatic plot turns, deeper romance between the main characters, and occasionally serious subject to bring depth to the character and expose their psyche. Overall Fushigi Yuugi and Inu Yasha both have good characters and are both humorous and entertaining anime.
Both are Are "Magical Girl" (Mahō shōjo) Animes and Mangas, with the main character being transported into a "Fudal Era" alternate world. I prefer Fushigi Yuugi over InuYasha for the fact that all though it is a long running series, the series does come to a conclusion! In both the Manga and Ainime...
in both of them there are priestess that have a mission and role to complete and on their journey they both make friends with some more people.
I think they are both similiar in such a way and maybe in the plot, another thing is that the both priestess came to this world by a magic entrace and live in their own modern world.
I think Fushigi Yuugi contains much more romance and cuteness and I liked it so much, if you liked Inu Yasha and want something with a little more romance Fushigi Yuugi is the Anime for you :)
The girl goes back in time and falls in love with someone from there.
Its a must watch for girls!!! They both have adveture, romance and lots of action!!!
THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOO SIMILAR ITS CRIMINAL!!!!!
Magical item to past: Well(Inuyasha) Book(Fushigi Yuugi)
Inuyasha: Tama Home
Kagome: Myaka
Koga: Emperor
ITS got the whole "you are a priestess who will save us" thing and the whole forbiden love and 2 lovers for Inuyasha thing. The dub is better but thats for you to decide. There isnt very much bad language in this as there is in Inuyasha but they are sooooooo similar i think i will die! there arnt as many episodes in this but its still awesome!!!
The show is in feudal time Japan. It has many different genres like action, romance, fantasy and more! This is my favorite anime and Fushigi Yuugi remind me so much about it. (There's a monk in Inuyasha too; Except he doesn't say "You know" a lot but he rubs girls butts enough!) Please watch Inuyasha AND Fushigi Yuugi they're both REALLY good animes!

Both of the stories have the same base behind them. A young girl taken away to an alternate world that is unlike their own. With people who protect them and hardships both must face in a new world. Unlike Fushigi Yuugi however, Juuni Kokuki focuses on more then one character and can easily be said to develop their fictional world much more better. It would be wise to take note though that while Fushigi Yuugi has a main focus of romance, Juuni Kokuki does not have too many of these romantic elements present.
Both feature crossing over from "reality" to fantasy land.
A girl who comes to another world to be some kind of "savior". Magic. Similarity: 2 1/2 *
The environment is likely Ancient China in both. They also feature a random girl transported to that world and given the role of changing destiny.
both animes are set in an ancient era and has the past-present world crossover...
Imagine Fushigi Yugi without the love stories and you'll get The Twelve Kingdoms. It has less bishōnen characters and more fighting, but besides that it's almost the same.

If you like Magic Knight Rayearth then you like Fushigi Yuugi ! :)
Different fantastic weapon was used and design for this anime, some of which was adapted by some clamp. animes :D
|

both where a person is transported to another world. they both also have magic and magical powers.
Both stories are shojo-ish adventures with a magical/historical feel to both and the main character receiving lots of attention from other beautiful people.

Both deals with high school girls that travel to an alt. world
Both have bishonen (fushigi yugi more than escaflowne)
Both girls have some sort of mystic power Fushigi Yugi is nice
bishonen/action series and w/ a twisted intresting story. if havent
already try it out!
A girl being taken to another world. Where as Escaflowne is mecha and Fushigi yuugi isn't they still have love as part of this story. I still believe they are both brilliant but Fushigi yuugi is a love story and is brilliant!

A girl becomes the preitess and has to complete tasks. Another simular thing happens but this is a spoiler.
|
|
|
well its more on protecting your master's to achieve victory. ! and a little romantic *choo choo* i think :D
|
|
|
The similarities are in the plot/SL, You can see that the two anime/Manga both revolve around the needed 7 warriors.... Just with two different reasons of being... One's to save the world and the other to save only a portion of land from being taken over by the opposite country..
|
|
|
Again, there's a girl that's surrounded by men and some of them fall in love with her. The guys also have signs like in Fushigi Yuugi - although they're aren't seen. They are the guardians of the elements.
I really liked this anime and I liked Ange - she's really self-consciouss and gets embarrassed easily.
|
|
|
Both talks about two best friends being thrown into a different world apart from their current. However, for fushigi yuugi its more towards shoujo filled with tint of romance while kiba is more towards shounen that is filled with action.

great anime...
love..
action..
|
|
|
Well it's not really similar in the way of giving Sacrea and all that, but there are bishounens around a girl that has a special title in the universe. It's also about different elements, I think, and it's characteristics, like Hotohori with his gentleness (same as Lumiale).

In a lot of ways, these two long shoujo series are perfect for a very specific audience, and quite dull to the rest of the anime fandom. Shoujo fans that eat up soap opera-esque drama will fall in love with both of these series. Non-fans, however, will probably not get past more than a few episodes of either.
Both are reverse harems (and never pretend not to be; it's obvious that most of the bishies surrounding the heroine are interested in her) but also include a complicated plotline. They're both very dramatic, often reaching melodrama territory, in all aspects, from story to characters to relationships. Finally, they both have some degree of oldschool feel: Hanasakeru Seishounen is based on a 1987 manga; Fushi Yuugi's is from 1992.

Fushigi Yuugi and Tsubasa Chronicles, for me they have their similarities. It tells that in Fushigi Yuugi, Miaka Yuuki sucked into an ancient Chinese novel titled "The Universe of the Four Gods",sees that she can travel in other world because of the book. Miaka become Priestess of Suzaku, as the Priestess of Suzaku her duty is to gather the Seven Warriors or Seven Seishi of Suzaku, who are to be her protectors.
while...
in Tsubasa Chronicles, the similarities of the story between the two is when Princess Sakura lost her feathers that contains her memories. Syaoran, who is her protector, travels to different world in search of the feathers of Princess Sakura in able to return her memories.

reverse harem kinda anime...
Yeay Bishies!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
Its a world full of magic! only the magical people know it though. Miaka in Fushigi Yugi is actually a ruler of the seven warriors of Suzaku. And Ichigo is the leader of a group of Mutant (but adorable) half animal-ish warriors here to save Tokyo from the aliens Kish, Tart and Pie and thier Evil Chimeras. They're bothe really good!

You've got one girl trying to save the world with the help of seven handsome guys. Both are fantastic.
|
|
|
Both series involve the heroine to travel to a different world (or world's in Tsubasa's case). Both have action and adventure in them. Fushigi Yuugi however focuses more on the romance aspect of the main couple while Tsubasa has it's focus on the adventure and sacrifices the main male character has to make in order to save his princess.

If you liked Trigun, then you prolly like good involved stories, with everything in them, like plot twists, humor, tragedy, romance and killer fight scenes. Fushigi Yuugi, though slow to start has all that and more. The biggest similarity is both these Anime's ROCK!

If you like Fushigi Yuugi watch Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Maihitoyo~ it basically has the same concept, a girl from another world arrives and becomes the priestess of that land. Unlike Fushigi Yuugi, it doesn't have the "mushy" stuff although you might like the handsome guys! This is actually the movie for its TV series; "Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyou Shou~. Better watch the TV series first before watching this movie.
This is one of the anime movies that made me cry, so I really recommend you guys to watch this!

If you enjoyed sailor moons comedy and romance, you'll love fushigi yuugi ^_^ personally i love Sailor moon and fushigi yuugi, but many others agree with me on this one. if you love Sailor moon you'll enjoy fushigi yuugi almost guarenteed. :)

miki is the spitting image of miaka.
|
|
|
Another anime with a central female character who possesses unique magical powers and is protected by a large group of bishounen.
|
|
|
Both main character and the best friend transferred in to an alternate world. The main character became the good guy, while the best friend sided with the bad one. In the end they were ‘battling’ for what they believed…
|
|
|
Reverse harem show involving one a high school girl.
|
|
|
Fushigi Yuugi and Saiunkoku monogatari has many things in common. Both animes are taken place in ancient Asian cultures. It takes place in an era of war where the emperors rage wars to keep their empires in toll. Both animes revolves around a romantic triangle. Character personas and design are also very similar.
If you are a fan of either anime, i'd strongly recommend and encourage you to watch the other as well!
