Both stories are bildungsroman tales about young boys who are forced to set out on a character-building journey. The reasons for starting the journeyin both stories are similar but the circumstances of the boys differ slightly. Throughout the journey these boys meet many lovely people and many evil people and are initiated into adulthood through a wide range of joyful and sad experiences.

The beginning (and maybe whole) of haibane renmei, made me thought it was really similar to romeo no aoi sora. The mood and kind of everything that happened were very similar. I liked both series, and I could feel something realy simialr. If you liked the beginning of haibane renmei, I think you should like romeo no sora as well. (I'm terribly sorry about my english)

Child from a poor family offers to work away from home to help with the financial situation of the family. The work turn outs to have harsh enviroment that the child has to overcome. Both anime have historical setting.

Both are book-based slice of life stories set in history and made by the same director. The story focus on the characterization of a children group. Both series highly emphasize on educational values in various ways. Nan to Jo sensei is episodic in nature while The Black Brothers tend to be more dramatic and regular in the narrative.

one of the main themes of both shows is friendship and it's so strong that in both, the name of group is the name of the anime (well for Romeo, it's just book/English title) While this is more prominent in Little Busters Refrain, each arc of both, even if have problems with their dramatic events, at the end they just have amazing payoffs The OST in both anime are very good and makes the emotional scenes more impactful

It is certainly almost unimaginable of the difficulty to write a recommend for Mawaru Penguindrum (2011), of course Shinsekai Yori (2012) is there naturally since the symbolism of the second movement of Dvořák Ninth, and of any means, Penguindrum is like a different world-line next to Shinsekai, but of all the thematic exacts, Shinsekai, albeit being an exceptional fruitful imagination, doesn’t exactly give out Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru (1985) as in one of Penguindrum’s, so, by the time that I had contemplated enough, several titles did come to my mind—I thought about Macross Seven, Mobilsuit Gundam Wing, but Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS would fall  read more

Both are adaptations of early 20th century children's literature about Italian children having a bad time. The pacing in Romeo is a bit faster and more optimistic, but if you love beauitful animation, meditations on death at a young age, and childhood friendships, you should check it out.

- Romeo no Aoi sora takes place in 19th century Milan, Italy. - Ikoku Meiro no Croisee takes place in 19th century Paris, France. So they have similar settings where everything happens. - In both of these series the protagonist is a young child that for some reason has to leave their home city to arrive at famous but for themselves previously unknown, huge city. They start getting to know the new city, while exciting events start to take action. - Both of the series take great focus on the little, simple but joyous things in life. These anime clearly want to highlight that the simplest things  read more

Both anime start slowly and boringly but after 6-10 episodes they make you hooked to the screen till the last episode. Both anime are novel adaptations, both anime make a difference and are not waste of time. Protagonists of both shows are charismatic, smart and face their problems with courage and smile. After watching both of them you will be in high spirits and would like to make the world better just like the main hero of the show tried.

It's not so much about the similarity of story line or characters as it is a commonality of look and feel. I really think if you like Romeo no Aoi Sora you will enjoy the time you spend on the movie The Boy Who Saw the Wind.

Both works feature friendship or close relationship between male characters as an important component. Stories with European backgrounds, touching lines and adventures. Fullmetal Alchemist is more imaginative and far more serious while Romeo's blue sky was a bit more realistic as it describes the tough life of chimney boys in Europe.

Based on classic literature, these series that seem to be aimed toward children have detailed plot and character elements that transcend age limits. They both center around a young child essentially orphaned and sent to a cruel family, despite their own family's best intentions.

They both deal with issues such as slavery and friendship, though 07-Ghost is supernatural and fantasy (in a fictional religious setting) while Romeo is historical and slice of life (in 19th century Italy). Both anime have a brown-haired main character (Teito and Romeo) and a blond-haired best friend (Mikage and Alfredo) and both characters in those anime make a friendship oath. In 07-Ghost the issue of slavery is addressed very briefly while in Romeo's Blue Skies it's part of the main storyline. Both have great soundtracks, great stories, and wonderful characters! Both main characters have cute little animal companions too (but for 07-Ghost it's a  read more

Both MC is sold into slavery and then finds themselves under a kind master. They both make a new friend and form a strong brotherly bond. Romeo and Thorifnn both grow as a strong character and learn about the many complexities in life. Both story is set in Europe with excellent slice of life elements, drama, and a sense of adventure. While Vinland is more set in the Danish countryside around 11th century, Romeo no Aoi Sora is set in 19th century Italy.
