Both have Mecha's, children's problems are very similar, run a similar issue, they seem to be complement
Eva and Bokurano deconstruct the mecha genre by adding layers of extremely dark psychological content. Both are highly visceral, the action being centered around children who are forced into a conflict of literally cosmic proportions. In these series the nature of the enemy is ambiguous to the extreme, which makes the whole experience all the more poignant. Eva's latter episodes focus heavily on existential topics, which are replaced in Bokurano with a more psychological approach. The limitless situations the casts are subjected to and the depth of characterization makes these anime masterpieces, with an appeal that goes beyond the giant robot niche.
I think is obiviously..In both some kids must save the world, with an giant robot..But many problems apear in their way.
Fourteen-year-olds with loads of emotional baggage piloting giant robots to protect a world full of people and things that sometimes seem like they might not be worth protecting. They both work the psychological angle nicely and are great if you want to kick your mood down a few notches.
Hey, it's kids in giant robots and both have great stories as well.

Both contain a plot driven by death among the main characters.
Both series are about people being forced into hopeless battle, against unknown beings. Plus each have a bad-mouth mascot character: Gantz has the Gantz ball & Bokurano has Dung Beetle. ^_^
Both Bokurano and Gantz are about a dreadful game that entraps its players and submits them to inhuman torment. Gantz is considerably more violent in terms of credible gore while Bokurano is more pervasive insofar as the violence is mostly psychological yet in both there is an overwhelming feeling of unfairness and unavoidable doom. The mystery that surrounds the nature of the game is similar in both series, Bokurano eventually provides an explanation that ties up with larger than life consequences while Gantz remains enigmatic through and through.
Both Bokurano and Gantz have similar concepts: There is a horrible "game" in which one must kill to survive. However, although Gantz approaches this concept in a dark fashion, Bokurano makes it darker. Whereas in Gantz one can survive the game, in Bokurano you have no choice but to die once you've signed up for it. Both animes are thought-provoking and deep, with great character development.

Settings of these shows are quite diffenent, Bokurano with its sf-mecha elements and NTHT's harsh fantasy world. Both series show the more evil twisted side of human nature. And the most important point: the main protagonists are all kids. These kids have to deal with the "adult" situations and the consequences of their actions in a cruel world.
Both shows deal with children and very serious issues that surround them. Bokurano covers a wide variety with a diverse cast while Now and Then, Here and There weaves a more singluar story. However both share strong similarities in that the gravity of each story can be quite somber.

Fafner and Bokurano deal with young pilots who are forced to ride mechas in order to defend their homes at all costs. Fighting an enemy whose true nature proves to be ambiguous, the children in both series are manipulated by corrupt adults and must find the strength to deal with the chaos and violence that threatens them. Bokurano is perhaps a greater tour de force than Fafner (with its relatively tame content), but in both cases the personal relationships established between the pilots, each other, and their loved ones are at the forefront of the narrative, providing a solid emotional background for the action. Both series highlight the role of family as they develop character-driven stories that are bitter sweet and very moving in their emotional rapport.
Both anime have a main story based on mecha-robot and children that have to save the world/ppl they love.. both anime contain the 'sacrifice' side, and a lot of death >-
Both series are really nice, and fafner has a char design really spectacular.
Bokurano instead, has wonderful musics as background and op/endings :3
I recommend both :3

I've been passing this recommendation around in my head for a while and I figured why not put it out there. The similarities might not hit you right off the back, they are structured completely differently, Bokurano is based around small arc for each of the pilots, while Infinite Ryvius focuses on the whole plot, but once you get underneath, they both are very similar.
Both shows present a large cast of unique children placed in a perilous situation against their will or better judgment. But mainly they share the same themes, responsibility, loss of innocence, power, and politics. You get many different ideas on each topic, which is very nice because I can't think of any of the hundreds of characters in either series that are similar.
On an interesting note, you can overlay the music for one on to the other one's OP and they sync pretty well.
Both revolve around children experiencing a dramatic event forcing them to early maturity. However, Ryvius has far better direction and storyline.

Both series from the same mangaka so there is alot of similar things.
Character types, themes, approach, the structure of the story line.
Shadow Star Narutaru and Bokurano share the same general atmosphere of fateful horror. The same creator is behind both series and it shows. Children caught in a recurring pattern of violence and death form the basic premise of both series. The issue of the value of life is prominent in both, as is the role of responsibility. These series are character-driven and extremely dark; Bokurano focuses on the destiny of the whole planet, while Shadow Star Narutaru deals primarily with the cast itself, but in both cases children are pushed to the limit, making for agonizing situations that are masterfully handled.

Both have children as the main characters, some kind of missions and high technologies. Also, a bit dark story line.

They both have a gigantic robot-guardian of Earth ridden by a 15 year-old. The fights are episodic with different opponents. And in both animes the military is trying to meddle in and trying to take control of the robots.
The plots are generally quiet different, with Bokurano having more thriller and drama elements, more main characters and different stories intertwined.
Reideen is mainly revolving around one boy's life and the story is filled with more action.

Both have the mecha factor in them, but also a nice dose of slice-of-life themes. Cool-ass fights, robots, characters with background stories and nice plots.

Both Bokurano and Higashi no Eden revolve around a game which has certain number of players and all that there is for the losers is death.

Bokurano and Saikano do not appear very similar on the surface but they share the same overreaching theme of foreboding doom, subjecting their respective casts to situations of intense despair. Both deal with the end of the world as we know it; in Saikano due to human folly and war and in Bokurano due to a bizarre game of fatal consequences. In both anime the protagonists are very young people forced to deal with extreme situations in which death is ever present and annihilation threatens. Saikano has an element of romance while Bokurano deals with family and friendship relations first and foremost. These are anime about excruciating choices and are very bitter through and through; they are very rewarding series, even if highly draining viewing experiences, with solid character development.

Both deal with a group of children thrust into dangerous and traumatic situations because they have been "chosen" to protect their world.

High quality sci-fis. There aren`t much similarities except the most important thing:the unique atmosphere is present in both.

Bokurano and Fafner-Right of Left are mecha titles in which the robots serve to develop the characters. In both series children are forced to wage an excruciating battle with an aura of bittersweet tragedy that weights upon everyone. Bokurano does an exceptional job in fleshing out a rather vast cast while Right of Left focuses more exclusively on two characters; in both the human element is much more important than the action and these somewhat underrated titles deserve considerably more attention than they receive.

These series aren't alike at all really. But at the same time there is something that sort of reminds me of the other. While in Higurashi the characters are close they aren't so much in Bokurano. There is an hanging feeling of hopelessness and despair in Bokurano because of what happens to the pilots of the Zearth the same hopelessness and despair is easily found in Higurashi too.
