Terra e... (TV)

Terra e... and Shinsekai Yori are both animes about people with telekinetic powers set in a futuristic distopia environment. While Shinsekai Yori has a darker feel to it the plots of the first episodes are nearly identical. 

Both set in space with plenty of space battles. They are set around a "race" seeking recognition of their existence in the universe. Both revolve around themes of xenophobia, acceptance, existence and return to the homeland. 

It has a similar storyline (judging by the first episodes)... a boy who gets out of his home town or planet and goes to another place with 'strange' people and wants to go back home but finally takes the role he is destinated to have 

The beginning of the story is the same and Sion resembles to Jomy Marcus Shin. 

Epic. high quality space opera with an awesome cast of characters and epic choral pieces. 

Similar settings (humans fighting übermench), both have great character cast and are generally well-produced sci-fi series with action, drama and political intrigues. Main difference is that Gundam has mecha. 

Both are great space opera sci-fic animes in which 2 races are against each other; for Seikai no Monshou, humans are against the Abhs, for Terra, humans are against the Mus 

Both feature a pair of opposing forces that start out seeming pretty clear cut as good and evil, but as the show goes on the distinction becomes more ambiguous. If you liked the moral questions and political bits of one, you'll like the other. Each show will put you through the wringer and you'll love it. 

Both series present a similar quest carried out by beings similar yet different from human beings. In both cases, they are hunted and repressed by humans who fear the greater power of their race. Toward the Terra takes place in space, in a more technological setting than Wolf's Rain, but they both develop a similar idea in an engaging way and with interesting characters. The endings are also worth getting there. 

In both Toward the Terra and Rakuen Tsuihou, the main premise is that humans have, largely or entirely, left the planet Earth due to its no longer being habitable, and now live someplace ruled by machines that is treated by the majority of the population as the best place for them in society. Conflict ensues as a result of the main protagonists discovering things of a controversial nature. 

Their main protagonist are forced into an unfamiliar world and are forced to adapt, in order to one day lead their respective people. Terra e... is more of a sci-fi series, whist Juuni Kokuki is a historical fantasy. 

Remakes of space opera classics. Space Battleship Yamato is credited as being the first space opera anime (1974-5). Toward the Terra's manga began only a few years after Yamato (1976-80). Before the TV remake of Terra in 2007, there had only been a rushed movie adaptation in 1980. The space opera genre and the fact they're both remakes of classics links them, obviously, but they also share a key plot point: the planet Earth. In both series the planet has become a barren, uninhabitable wasteland. Where as humans are forced to live underground in Yamato, humanity in Terra live in space; far away from Earth in order to aid the planet's rejuvenation. Yamato starts by beginning a desperate quest to travel 100's of light-years and back within a year to save the planet from DOOM, while in Terra psychic outcasts attempt to travel back to their home planet just for somewhere to call home. A key difference between them is why their respective space wars are being fought. Yamato's war involves an alien race thinking of themselves as something akin to ancient Rome attempting to conquer the universe; Earth standing against them. Terra's plot deals with evolved humans (mutants; X-MEN!) that find themselves forced to fight a desperate war for survival against the rest of humanity, as well as the A.I. that controls them. There is a link in terms of middle-of-series 'shall we fight for the Earth or abandon it for another planet?' sub-plots, though. As far as I'm aware, Yamato is more akin to a remastering than an outright remake: the opening, for example, being identical to the original. Since there never was a full Terra TV anime in the past, Terra went in a more of an 'expanded manga' direction. But, regardless, there is a very similar 'old school' vibe given by both series. There's no pandering or any attempt to please the otaku of today. Character-driven (slightly bland due to lack of 'playing up' to appeal), episodic with pit-stops on various planets and absorbing. There's ultimately something missing from both, in my opinion, but they're special enough to warrant a modern glance into the past. read more 

Both contain many space battles with great animation and an awesome soundtrack 

Both series feature a main male character who doesn't seem to "belong" in their current situation and both are the "chosen ones". Both include mecha. If you like one then you should definitely watch the other. 

The story are quite similar in some way that both are describing some people having special abilities or power and normal people are hunting them. Quon is just looked like Soldier Blue, both have super power and both are acting as leader. Both of them are trying to save their same race and do not mind to be hurt. 

Both are sci-fi's that focus more on drama than action. Last Exile is steam-punk, Terra e is outer space. 

Toward the Terra is like Iron-Blooded Orphans about a group of family like comrades who travel through space to reach the place where they belong. They both very heavily emphasis character development over plot so the story takes a long time to pick up. Both shows are very emotional and touches on issues such as discrimination, survival in a world that has forsaken them, and struggle for a place to call home. 

Terra e, very well done classic space opera. A must-watch. Mouretsu Pirates, turning out to be a great space opera, giving detail to the environment and character development. 

Shoujo (or at least shoujo-esque) fantasy sci-fi's with a heavy focus on drama. In Escaflowne, it's mostly romance; in Terra, it's mostly tragedy. Some occasional battles and fights. The main character makes important decisions for the people they are with, but unfortunately they don't always make the right choice, leading to disaster. The main female character is a psychic. The antagonist has a lot of interesting angles to him. Have rich orchestral and choral soundtracks. Character designs are somewhat old-school. The endings could be seen as sad, disappointing, or bittersweet. 

Toward the Terra and Zeta Gundam share many similarities on several levels. In terms of characters both series feature young, initially naive protagonists who get caught up in conflicts involving rebel factions and their struggle to overthrow oppressive governments. Both characters are opposed to fighting at first but eventually mature later on, and go through similar character development. There are also similarities to be found story-wise as both series revolve around a similar main narrative : two races of humans (the "Mu" in Toward the Terra and "Newtypes" in Zeta Gundam's case) struggling for independence and recognition, making the themes of discrimination, acceptance and understanding central themes in both series. Both shows while mainly sci-fi feature some supernatural and psychic elements. One difference though is unlike Toward the Terra there's a heavy focus on mecha in Zeta Gundam, being a Gundam series of course. Overall, both shows are highly enjoyable, well-written anime space-opera classics, both a must-watch for any sci-fi fan. read more 

Both have unexpected twists that involve environmental themes. 

Both cover the idea of an end to Earth. There isn't an obvious antagonist and protagonist and the MC's are set against each other because of how different their nature is (in Inuyashiki it's how they enjoy killing and saving people and in Terra e... it's' how they were born with powers or not). There's themes about what is right and wrong and a lot of death. 

Towards the Terra and Aldnoah Zero have alot of simularities in their themes and narritive Both anime revolves around the themes of racism and nationalism. How the two shows exicute these themes is a different story. ( If you want to know which one is exicuted better, Terra>Aldnoah any day) Also, both show are told in a simlar way. In these two shows, there are 2 main characters on each opposing side and the story switch from both of their perspectives. 

Both about discrimination of special powered humans by the system and their struggle to survive and fight back. 

Both use some level of computer system or computer program to exist.  

Genetically enhanced humans from labs battle each other. A breed of them try to blend in with society. 

Fantastic Children and Toward the Terra resemble each other much more than one would think. They both contain that adventurous, epic story-line while throwing in a mix of supernatural powers and time travel. Characters from both anime are adamantly searching for something that is important to them, one of which is a way to return to their homeland. These anime are also a bit old-fashioned in design, yet they're brilliant and refreshing at the same time. 

Both of these series revolve around a race of "evolved humans" (in Elfen Lied's case, the diclonius girls, and in Toward the Terra's case, the Mu) being considered a threat to the original human race. Granted, Toward the Terra is more of a space drama and shows the Mu in a very sympathetic light whereas Elfen Lied is a traumatic romance with plenty of gore wherein the diclonius kind have a genetic predisposition for showing hostile and homicidal tendencies toward humans... but both deal with the issues surrounding how humans may treat those who are different from them. If you're a fan of one, it's worth checking out the other. read more 

Human society has developed to the point where they rely almost entirely on highly advanced technology to keep the peace, in a way that is not as close to ideal as the people initially believe it to be. Psycho-Pass shows the flaws and controversy of a society ruled by the Sibyl System, where people's souls can be read and those deemed to be "latent criminals" become second-class citizens. Toward the Terra shows the long and violent struggle between the Mu, humans who develop psychic powers, and the normal humans who see them as a race to be eradicated upon detection, in a future society where humans ruined the earth, have long since colonized space, and let computers dictate every aspect of societal progress. read more 

Both series give the same message and are equally entertaining to watch. 

These two animes have a slight simillarity when it comes to psychic abilities. In Terra e, those who possess psychic power are called Mu's while on Zettai Karen Children they are called Espers. On top of that these people who possess these psychic abilities are somewhat hated by normal people. 

Two different races/factions, both engaged in space wars. If you liked any of the two, there is no doubt that you will also like the other. 

A guy is reluctantly pushed into a different setting. He then rises to become a saviour and passionately fights for what he believes in. 

I don't know why but while I was watching Terra e... I remembered to Soukyuu no Fafner If you like one of them then I think you will like the other too. ^^ 

Both are sci-fi shojo from the 80s that take place in space. Terra e... is more epic in the scales of setting and time while They Were 11 takes place in a single space ship with fewer characters over the course of less than 3 months, but space, drama, and mystery all take the stage in both series. 

Both stories take place in distant future and deal with having to survive at a spaceship for a long period of time while fighting pursuers and searching for a place willing to accept travelers. Both offer interesting psychological insights. 

Similar type of sci-fi with focus on environmental problems! The artstyle is similar, though I prefer Shangri-La's style more than Terra e...  

It's a lot similar story-wise, because both deal with multiple generations, and characters fleeing catastrophic situations. Even the authority figures (what Hegel would call the thetic and antithetic components) are similar: an autocratic machine-based government in Terra he.. and the semi-machinic Anti-Spirals in TTGL. Besides which, both series have the same moral: Hope is what keeps us alive, when everything else wishes us dead.  

They're both about a race called Mu... and they both have a ship called "Moby Dick"... ...wait a minute!
