Premise of plot is similar, as well as character roles and art.
Bonen no Xamdo has the same character designer as Eureka Seven, as well as sharing similar animation styles and mecha themes. Both anime are created by Studio Bones.
The same team that worked on Eureka Seven came back to work on Xamdou.
Same creators, same style of story line, same style of art. Basically if you liked Eureka Seven you'll like Bonen no Xamdou. However, I fell Bonen no Xamdou will be better then Eureka Seven...
Bones, the producers of Eureka seven (aired 2005-2006) made another great anime: Bonen no Xamdou (aired 2008-2009)
(if you liked eureka seven then you might even be more hyped about this anime.)
- Both animes got some wonderful characters with some great depth
- The fantastic sound and music in both shows makes the experience watching these shows wonderful
- The story in both animes is probably what will catch your interest the most though! Sci-fi Action Adventures can't go wrong honestly ... hah
- Oh and ofc ... The animation is amazing, nuf said!
You'll find some big similarities between the shows, but i wont tell you what, since you'll notice them yourself when you will start watching. However.. They are very much alike ! ;)
I believe that both animes are based on awsomness!
By Bones, Similar universe to Eureka 7 but main character is a bit more manly.
The art styles are similar... done by the same team. Also, both have science fiction/fantasy type themes. Both also have airships xD
Airspace, adventure, action and a great base story. Characters show similarity, being on a 'neutral' airship doing 'odd-'job(s) to make a living. Sound, visual and the scenery are in both anime's stunning. While Eureka Seven has more episodes, sidestories, Xam'd seems to be sticking to the storyline. But both are awesome to watch, taking you on a great adventure.
They both have similar story lines and progression. They also reside in about the same universe.
The design of the characters and art is identical to Eureka, which I love! The genre is the same.
The main similarity is that they are both production BONES shows. Then the main female char looks like and has the same personality as the main female char in E7. The shows have a similar animati0on and feel.The main chars are average guys and end up working and doing chores in a ship out of nowhere. Then their are similarities in the personalitys in the crew of the ship including the captains. Some voice actors used in E7 was also used in Xamdou.
Xam'd feels like a re-envisioning of Eureka Seven. Just like Eureka Seven, it has a motley crew aboard aircraft/airship zipping around here and there with some awesome mecha action thrown in. So if your ever looking for something similar, give Xam'd a shot.
Common themes. Similar characters.
Same studio and similar world.
"Xam'd" is pretty much a reused version of "Eureka 7."
Ideas, characters, plot elements are all recycled.
But hey, isn't recycling good?
Both are done by the same studios and have very similar animation, and the 'family' feeling amongst crew members in both series is very strong, particularly at the beginning.
Xam'd is made by the same company as Eureka SeveN and as quite a few similarities with Eureka but has it's own Unique style to itself... if you liked Eureka SeveN You would most definitely like Xam'd!
Both of the main male roles are supported by a group of interesting characters who've got their own flying ship. Both have strong mecha themes, and both Renton and Akiyuki have to mature in order to survive. Both animes start focusing around the every day guy's life and develop from there. Xam'd and Eureka 7 both have protagonists resisting the military.
Both of them have few favourite Bones features, which they applied to almost all of their original works:
- a mysterious girl with unique abilities, which is somewhat apathetic towards her life;
- a special crew of few members which accept our main (or not so main) hero and he starts to learn about their past and ways of living;
- a Green Peace scent - let's save the nature and all the people, though in Xam'd it's not as strong as in Eureka;
- a teh genki brown-hair shounen, destined to save the Earth from some great disaster;
- lots of support characters which don't hesitate to make appearance even more often than main ones etc.
and loads of minor similarities as character designs, plot twists, seiyu etc.

Xam'd gives of a very strong Nausicaa feel. If you've seen the movie, then i'm almost certain you'll know what i'm on about when watching the first episode of Xam'd. Check it out.
The first five minutes of the very first episode of Xam'd gave me an overwhelming Nausicaa vibe, and the feeling really hasn't diminished with successive episodes. I guess the most obvious similarity is that both feature a heroine who flies a single-person light aircraft and grows things in jars and is tough yet deeply compassionate, to the point of defending or weeping over creatures others would think of as monsters. Also, there's lots of airships and goopy stuff and morally complex war stuff and a cute animal. Basically, if you like Nausicaa, be sure to check out Xam'd. If you like Xam'd and you've never seen Nausicaa... have you been living under a rock? It's a classic!
The art & type of story...very simililar...i'm impressed that an anime series can achieve..the studio's detailed art work..story is captivating...whimsical
flying vehicles; adventures; strange worlds;

Last Exile and Bonen no Xamdo share a similar sort of flying-ship style, as well as the broad sky travel theme in general. There are also a few scenes that bear some similarity to Last Exile's universe, such as the group of white-haired children.
seems to have a similar setup going on from the first episode i've seen. carries a strange technology in a world revolving around that of airships.
Airspace, adventure, action and a great base story. The main characters have their own ideals intertwining in a world of conflict. The scenery is similar, while the theme is different. Both anime's are easy to watch and have a great adventure in-store.
flying vehicles; adeventures; great design;

Its from the same creators...
Both have some mystery and Xam'd also have something similar to alchemy.
If you enjoy drama and major hero moral conflictions then you will enjoy these shows. Both primarily focus on story and drama above action.

As i watch this serious i can't help but feel the same sense of anticipation i felt thought tengen toppa. What i mean is, they have the same feel to them, they have strong characters who grow on you, they have a guy who falls for a girl who's in love with their friend, even the xam'd and the machines look similar. The sound tracks could be interchangeable as well, they even have a similar vividness in colour. All in all if you loved Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann i believe you'll louve this too.
They both have exactly the same feel to them, in my opinion. As soon as I started watching X'amd I thought of Gurren, probably because in both series the main cast is on a ship of some sorts and all characters have more personality to them than the standard side character does.

The art styles are similar, and the stories also have a lot in common. Drama, mystery, action, philosophy, both are great!

Similar Kind of story with romance, adventure and action.

Though the similarities aren't so obvious, if you observe closely you 'll find them.
Both series are based on the character development and the relations between them, having a melancholic atmosphere.
In one hand we have "Contractors" in the other "Xamdous". Both are treated like "monsters". Finally there is a controversy about justice and humanity in both shows.

awesome fighting scenes and same anime style
|
|
|
Stylistically, both animation and story are similar. Both center around a youth who discovers that there is much more to the world than he thinks there is, and is thrust into the midst of a battle for the world, his friends, and himself.

|
|
Both main characters have genetic transformation powers.
|
|
|
both are adventure stories with lots of reflection on what it means to be human

This is more WTF than Elfen Lied, Cuz so far I do not know yet what the hell is happening, of course this do not means it is bad!! the suspense man, the suspense.

fantasy world, flying ships and weird meccha.. that what they both share..they have the same feeling to each other in some way or another..

Both series revolve around a woman taking a boy under her wing and training him for the difficult task ahead of him which could threaten his life. Together, with the help of friends, they evade the capture of their enemies and make their way to ancient villages, leading them on a journey to save the world by depositing an "egg" of sorts at a promised place, as tradition calls for it.
Each world bears a resemblance to Japan, but is sort of an alternate dimension, and the female warrior who cares for the boy is from a foreign land.
Both series have excellent plots, moving dialogue, and exquisite animation and artwork, as well as surreal concept design, ranging from environments to costumes to creatures, and even customs, and various clues are weaved into the series which play critical roles to the final outcome.
Xam'd and Moribito are both top-notch and deserve more attention than they are getting.

Wacky, Wild, Biopunk, futuristic, and mecha. Definitely similar.

|
The mystery within ourselves...
|
|
|
have the power to change the world against all odds
|
|
|
I think they are both really similar due to the fact that both involve a war between aliens and mankind and the use of immensly advanced technology.

in linebarrels the main char gets hit by a giant mech which gives him powers n the ability to control it, while in xam'd the main char is involved in a explosion where a light goes into his arm n he transforms into a xam'd...both of them have some similarities as you get deeper into each...both of them are considered no longer human
