Last Exile, Fushigi no Umi no Nadia Recommendations
While I was watching "Last Exile" all I could think about was how much this was like "Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water". Both series are steampunk, both take place on a big ship that is quote "the safest" or "most advanced" ship on the planet, the crew is a mystery most of the series, both involve planes, the plot is slowly revieled (for most of the series many things are unclear), both are heavy on character development and relationships, and they both have good drama and action scenes. Both series are even paced the same (well Nadia spends more time letting us
understand the characters, and get's off to a slow start, but it's able to because it's much longer. Last Exile starts you in a very fast paced battle scene, so your running from the start, while in Nadia you slowly build up speed, and take long brakes in between ;) )
Even the characters are alike. The two main characters in both series are a teenaged boy and teenaged girl. The two boys both act alike, and the two girls act a like as well. The boy is really good with planes, the girl is a navigator, and they bicker back and forth a little bit, but are still great friends.In both series the main characters get cought up in a something that's way over their heads. The main characters in both series, befriend a little girl a little way into the show, the crews of both ships are very much alike ( Captian Nemo = Alex Rowe, Electra = Sophia Forrester [they even look and sound alike!!] ,Sanson = Ethan , Grandis Granva= Tatiana Wisła , etc etc, you could really keep going).
Just replace the sky with the seas in "Last Exile" and you have "Nadia" pretty much .
If you like one of these, give the other a try.
