Tenkuu no Escaflowne

The usual high school girl gets "teleported" to another world. There she falls in love with a boy, who is not exactly human. There are fights like every single episode and both girls carry a pendant (same color I think). Lastly, both girls play an important role (if not the main role) in the plot (shoujo anime). 

A magical girl gets somehow transported to a magical world where there is action and adventure and a cute boy with a sword and wings. Great characters and a general "to busy fighting for a love story until the end" feeling.  

Both involve a female character going to another world full of fantasy with male protagonist. They fight for the survival of the other world, while romance also plays a big factor.  

Both are fantasy anime from the same studio, Sunrise, blending action and romance. In InuYasha, Kagome is a Japanese schoolgirl with some experience in archery, who travels back in time to feudal Japan where she meets the half-dog-demon Inuyasha. Inuyasha fights his half-brother Sesshomaru, Kagome is revealed to have the powers of a shrine maiden and being able to cancel/limit demonic powers helps Inuyasha many times in battle with other demons. Kagome's humanity and being the one Inuyasha must protect prevents his demon side from overwhelming him. In The Vision of Escaflowne, Hitomi is an athletic schoolgirl from Earth who meets Van Fanel, a half-Draconian Guymelef pilot, and travels with him to the planet Gaia. Van fights his estranged brother Folken. Hitomi is revealed to have divination powers and uses her powers to assist Van in battle. Van is later able to control his Guymelef, the Escaflowne, more directly, but at the cost of it overwhelming himself with bloodlust and risking his body. It is Hitomi and his friends that must pull him back from the darkness. read more 

Both are about a high school girl who enters a magic portal to a magical world where she falls in love and makes friends in a fantasy adventure. 

Both anime focus on the same genres: action, fantasy, romance, as well as some comedy. The plotlines are very similar too. Inuyasha: Kagome Higurashi, a high school girl, travels 500 years back in time after falling in a well. She meets a half-demon, Inuyasha. Together they must collect all the shards of the Shikon jewel. Escaflowne: Hitomi Kanzaki, a high school girl, is sent to a mysterious world named Gaea. Along with Van, Allen, and others, they go battle the Zaibach Empire to unite Gaea. In both anime, there is a lot of character development, as well as romance between the main characters. Of course, Inuyasha being a much longer series is more slow paced than Escaflowne. In any case, if you are looking for an anime similar to Escaflowne, Inuyasha might be the best choice. read more 

A 15-year-old girl is transported to another world. There, she finds out she has some sort of spiritual powers, and ends up helping people by fighting the villains of this other world. In Escaflowne Hitomi is literally transported to another world - Gaea, a steampunk-ish world with kings and queens, reigns and animal-like people -, while in InuYasha Kagome is transported to the Feudal Era, 500 years in the past, a world where youkai lurk around. Nevertheless, both settings are similar and the heroine finds herself in the same position of "transferred to another world with powers + now gotta help". Another similarity shared is Hitomi and Kagome's personality. Both girls have strong personalities and don't need to be protected at all times, finding answers to their own problems and showing maturity to deal with certain situations. They're also easy to identificate with. Aside from their personality and the situation they're in, as the story progresses we see more things in common between the girls: Kagome has a crush on her real world, and so does Hitomi. Yet, they fall in love with a new person after going to this other world. read more 

Escaflowne and Inuyasha. Both have the following similituries: - A girl who is transported to a fantasy world, where she acquires magical powers. - A boy who only wants revenge on those who snatched his loved ones, who has a mecha / sword very powerful and sought by his enemies, where his brother is one of his enemies. Both anime classics, where the main characters, will discover little by little, that they are needed the one and other and what with their forces can achieve. 

Both feature a high school girl who falls into a completely different world. 

Heroine is a high school student; she gets transported to another world and told she has a power that she never knew about. 

both deal with a female individual that plays a role in this other world against their own will. Both includes drama and action. 

Both talk about a girl with special abilities visiting a strange - secret place- planet. If you likes Juuni Kokuki than you will definitely like Escaflowne which is superior, more tight story and keeps you from the first to the last episode 

both animes have little romance and very adventurous story boards and both of them also has a female as a main character who are transported to an fantasy world. but escaflowne had a german feel to it whereas juuni kokuki had a chinese fee to it. 

One day main heroines of those series meet a strange boy/man and as result of that encounter are suddenly transported into a new, unknown world. What they do not know is that their actions will change those worlds forever. In "The Twelve Kingdoms" Youko will try to shape a new one of the kingdoms, that she's prophesied to rule. In "The Vision of Escaflowne" Hitomi's unique power will change the lives of people around her. If you liked one for an interesting story set in fantasy/isekai world, you will most likely like the other too. 

This is a very similar anime in many ways, they both have a girl who is spirited away to another world that is slightly medieval in it's setting, yet also not. They both involve that girl coming to terms with the world she has arrived in and having to deal with the politics and power struggles of that world. Also both contain monsters and super powers.  

Both are series in the old-school style of Isekai: The protagists are school girls, they are whisked away to a fantasy world (instead of dying to get there) and the stories are strong on adventure and world-building, but with a good dose of romance. 

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! 

The main protagonists are very similar particularly regarding personality. Both end up in different worlds with supernatural elements, though Escaflowne involves sci-fi elements built into the series. The styles are also quite similar. 

Same plot, both main female characters were swallowed into another world. Both anime(s) were about war, love, peace, freedom and all that stuff. :D 

A teenager girl is transported to another world and ends up in a fight between reigns. There's romance, fighting and lots of adventure. Both shows present very different and interesting supporting characters that you get fond of. The MC wants to go back to her world, but at the same time she gets invested in helping the people she met in this other world.  

In both series, the main heroine ends up in a different universe where there are conflict between reigns. She has some kind of power and travels with her allies in order to help in restoring the peace. Romance and friendship will accompany her journey. Fushigi Yuugi has more comedy scenes as well as sad ones 

The 3 Rayearth series and the Escaflowne anime and movie both have: girls who get transported to a fantasy-like world, magic, mecha, blond princesses, bishounen, war, action, drama, and romance. Both are still very nice and enjoyable, even after many years. 

Both feature a medieval fantasy setting with mecha. They are also both fairly shoujo, but with the female characters taking charge. 

Both shows features female protagonists, transported to fantasy realms, full of prophecies, magic and mystically powered mechs. The difference in the shows are while the trio from Magic Knight Rayearth are destined to be the heroes and defeat the villains, the protagonist in Escaflowne doesn't posses direct fighting powers. Also MKR plays it a bit more idealistic and straightforward, while Escaflowne has more character depth and the internal politics of the world are better explored, making it more complex. 

Both are about magical girls summoned to another world to fight with the help of mechas. They both share a melodramatic feeling, but with comic relief. The girls meet new allies, fall in love and all the classic maho shoujo stuff. 

Two worlds that somehow exist in parallel universes one of which is somewhere in the sky (or even space), a plain girl who has some powers to influence the fate of the world. Surely, Escaflowne is far more better in all aspects but Munto is the closest to it in the idea itself and plot. 

girl seeing another parallel world because of her dormant powers. She helps the King from that parallel world by lending her powers. The story is very similar to the Vision of Escaflowne. 

Both animes involve a female from earth having a unique power that is needed to help a king in another dimension (mirror of earth) - in order to save it. Escaflowne has more romance involved in the plot and is longer in length then Munto. If you like one, you will like the other.  

both have mecca but if your looking for a little more drama and romance with action and a lotta fighting then escaflowne is a must see. The art in esca is wonderful even though it is a bit old. watch it...it will not dissapoint! 

Both are Sci-fi anime with a female lead and a power male who fights for her, using am unorthodox mecha. 

Well, first of all is the out of this world mecha action, more present in Gurren Lagaan. The sound tracks in both of these shows is fabulous. The two anime give off the same kind of feeling. The characters are all mulit-dimensional and deal with real life emotional and traumatic situations. There is also romance in both (more so in Escaflowne, by far) which adds to the story :). They are 26 episodes each and while Gurren Lagaan is much newer they are both worth watching! 

*Both are epics. *They both fall under the Mecha genre. *Both are about the world being destroyed/taken over by an imposing threat. *Both contain some romance more so in Escaflowne. *Both are similar in length of about 26 episodes long. Gurren Lagann is much more over the top and fast paced while Escaflowne is more reserved. Both are very poetic shows but portray it in different ways. 

Both are good mecha anime with suggestive titles, and have romance, action, angels, war, and beautiful, magical worlds/places such as Gaea and Atlandia. 

These two anime are like different versions with the same ingredients: love, destiny, medieval worlds, magic mecha, intertwined souls, angels and action. 

-Both series involves cultural themes, mechas, and 2 parallel worlds -Both series involves a prince (Van / Nobunaga) who is very skilled swordman and mecha pilot. Also both series have a character who is beloved by the main female character and the princess (Allen / Nobunaga) -Both series involves a girl with Divination powers (Hitomi / Jeanne) who comes from a parallel world and falls in love for the main character Personally, I'm a huge fan of Escaflowne and I'm glad to see a new anime with a very similar development, following its own way, obviously. But I think both Nobunaga lovers and Escaflowne lovers must watch both series. read more 

The Story is written by the same person. It is about a girl with mysterious powers and a man from another world who is a ruler. The events that take place here are influenced by what Tarot Cards are drawn.  

Magic Mecha in a pseudo Medieval setting, with themes of the devastation of war and how it tears people apart. Both well animated with interesting characters and story lines. 

Both stories feature Mechs in a magically-infused fantasy worlds, and both shows do contemplate about the tragedies and futilities of wars. 

Romance, fantasy/supernaural, conflicts, fights, blood and more. The heroines are suddenly thrust into situations in which they are forced to fight to survive and the shows both try to scare the audience in addition to romance going on. 

Has a similar feel to it. Both are good stories. A girl with a strong personality and mysterious powers gets involved into an confusing adventure accompanied by handsome guys.  

This isn't on here yet!! Both use the huge human-form machines to battle and fly in, Eureka Seven "surfs" or "refs". Both have a wonderful coming of age story with a sweet love story (Escaflowne leans a bit more on the love story).  

In both anime, one character goes to different world. Both Maze and Hitomi don't know where they are. Both female Maze and Hitomi help others in their own way(maze with her strength and hitomi with her ability of tarot card reading). Male Maze and Van Fanel protect the females and fall in love with them. Both series have 'person in strange world','romance','fantasy' and 'mecha'. In both series male is more capable of using mechas. If you like one, you would love the other <3 <3 

- Both are mecha, though obviously Escaflowne's mecha elements are oriented to fantasy. - War and peace are significant primary themes in both series. - Both have somewhat broody dark-haired pretty boy male protagonists. They both have some kind of angelic theme. They both have similar character development paths, and both of their character development paths are heavily influenced by the female protagonist. - Both have peace-loving female protagonists who are significant to the plot, and both of which become protected by said dark-haired protagonists. - Romance is a significant element in both stories, and serves as an important device for the character development of the male and female characters. At the same time, the romance is nuanced enough to not overpower and draw away focus from the overall story.The parallels between the two series' set of protagonists are very similar in general. read more 

Both involve the protagonist being an athlete and then being summoned into a land of fantasy and strife.  

Both main characters travel to "other worlds". Both of these anime are beautiful and the worlds are creatively developed. Both stories have kick butt mech fights. Both stories theme's revolve around changing the world/fate/saving the world. Both have good romance plots.  

Escaflowne is about a school girl meeting a boy from another world (while in that other world) while Kuromukuro is slightly different as it's about a school girl meeting a samurai from the past who came to present day Japan. Both of these anime have mecha in them and although the settings are slightly different, I think if you liked one you'll probably like the other. 

Both series can get rather intense (though CG is much darker), with great mecca, but also developments between various characters, leaving you on edge until the very end... can't say more without revealing the endings 

Traverses several genres: mecha, high fantasy, sci-fi, sword-and-scandal, just to name a few. Because of this melting pot of influences, the world and culture have familiar attributes to it but melded together in a way that creates something wholly unique to itself. This kind of creative worldbuilding also transferred over to the mecha designs, which ranged from a wide variety of styles and influences. Metallic jousting centaurs, medieval knight armored mecha, steampunk castles, you name it. Each design feels unique, giving off their own distinct personality. The main characters in each show are also a prince of a fallen kingdom, vowing revenge on the evil forces that destroyed it. Even the mech that they come to pilot feels like their version of "Excalibur" as it comes to represent nobility and honor. And in a similar sense, the antagonist of each series also feels otherworldly when compared to the natives of the land. Their plan far more ambitious than simply conquering those around them. As the shows go along, the bigger scheme behind their actions is revealed.  read more 

Another mecha anime. strong. held back male characters...and both leading ladies having strange powers that,in different ways, links them to the lead males mecha.so many good things to say about both..will sum it up with: both are a MUST watch!! ^_^ 

both have the same D&D campaign feeling also every time I hear someone calling Escaflowne's main character's name: "Van" it reminds me of the lodoss mc's name: "parn" 

Two series where a girl / boy is involved in a war for power, being teleported to a world where a country wants to govern everything else, deceiving others by making them believe in their ideologies by force. Also a girl with a mysterious necklace will be the key. Two worlds where they show the suffering of fighting, of how hopes will continue even in adversity, how greed and revenge give rise to tragedy.  

The initial idea is similar, though its realization is different. Perhaps Noein is something like a postmodern retelling of the fairytale that is Escaflowne (Kazuki Akane worked on both projects as a director).
