Fantastic Children

Fantastic Children's sci-fi side deals with reincarnation, where as Noein's deals with multiple dimensions, but in both you get to see multiple versions of the same characters. The key difference is that characters interact with their younger/older selves in Noein. Both series alternate between serious sci-fi and lighthearted, slower paced character-focused sections. Noein's 'down time' parts have more of a slice-of-life feel, but the blend of sci-fi and everyday actions means the two give off a similar vibe. 

The stories of Fantastic Children and Please Save My Earth involve reincarnations attempting to make amends for their past sins. And love is an important aspect of both. Fantastic Children cannot compare to the depth of Please Save My Earth's characters, but it's still an excellent series, regardless. Just make sure you don't judge it based on its sluggish first half - its story only truly getting going in the absorbing last half of its story. 

Both are mystery/suspense series which involve delving into the past of a mysterious individual/individuals. Both are at least partially set in Europe. 

Well these two anime's how much they are alike that much they are different! The art it's similar, and the story around the main protagonist is alike, they both train martial arts, and later on they find themselfs in a need to aid a girl. Where she is the key to achieve some peoples plan so a group of people are after her. On this journey our hero makes some friends and some enemies also. From this point on the difference emerge because the atmosphere in Now and Then, Here and There is much darker and has a lot of violence, blood, torture and some serious psychological side effects, while Fantastic Children is a slow-paced anime. read more 

A lot of similarities except for white haired children. Though the story progress same Fractale is shorter series, also adventrous vibe is same. 

Both shows are about the regular world, being invaded by species from other universes, and although both shows have kid-friendly art and feature young characters, the storylines in both is complex and mature, featuring dark and unexpected turns. 

It strikes me how similar Fantastic Children and Sengoku Youko are. Both are seemingly conventional shounen shows which under the surface are completely different than most, where plot orbits around a spiritual logic rather than a worldly. Because of this these shows easily gets brushed off as inferior copies of more popular shounen shows. However these series aren't constructed from an exoteric perspective, where the worldly logic creates the chain of events. Instead it is the inner, esoteric logic which moves the plot forward. This doesn't always make the most fluid plotlines and the most heroic fights, as the point is to manifest a completely different logic than the one we are accustomed to in our daily life. read more 

Both shows have artstyle, suitable for a show aimed for the children, but they do both explore much more darker and mature topics and issues which does make both shows even more appreciated from more mature audience. 

Adventure show that looks at first glance as a kid's show because the main character is a kid and the drawn style, but it's an actually a sci-fi show about science and how far and dangerous can be when it reach the limits. 

Both shows have innocent and child-friendly appearance, but both shows hide their complex and dark stories beneath it. Both stories features children, handling topics not fit for their age and mental state. 

First of all, the character designs are similar because the creator of Fantastic Children is the character designer for Akira. Secondly, the weirdness and un-thinkability of the sci-fi are both so original. A lot of anime tropes and plots get recycled but never have I seen a premise or storyline like these two. 

Even though these two series are quite different in many ways, they both deal with a group of special/different children whose past and future look kinda gloomy and the present is full of mystery. Both anime raise a lot of questions at the beginning which will keep you watching till the end. (The ending of Fantastic Children is much more satisfying though - in terms of answering the questions it raises.) And they are both fun to watch.  

White Whale of Mu is like a spiritual precursor to Fantastic Children. There's a lot of similar themes and symbolism like ancient technology, reincarnation, multiple timelines and so forth. 

Both shows have quite the slow start and the art style is more fitting for a children's show, but once the story starts to unfold, you could appreciate both shows for their unusual and well crafted stories, and for the mature overtones of the series. 

Fantastic Children and Last Exile has a similar kind of longing imbued in the plot, the longing for peace, the longing something beyond the known. There's also a similar path followed by the characters to find this something and they have a somewhat similar group dynamic. Both are highly recommended. 

"Future Boy Conan" and "Fantastic Children" are both sprawling adventure stories propelled by brave kids. Both series share many similar characters. Conan (of FBC) and Thoma (of FC) are similar in their easy-going and naturally athletic. Each show has its own dark-haired damsel in distress in Lana (FBC) and Helga (FC). " Future Boy Conan" and "Fantastic Children's" also both contain numerous fantastic and epic settings. Many of the locales depicted are heavily entrenched within nature and provide a gorgeous viewing experience. 

Both are whimsical fantasy romances with two young protagonists. The art style is also very similar in its simplicity. 

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. 

The soundtrack and overall pacing makes me think about it, kinda slow with a lot of human melodrama but still nice. The characters share characteristics too and are searching for someone/something/someplace. All in all two fantasy/sci-fi shounen. 

Rather mild stories that revolve around a girl who sees a special place in her dreams, and the ones who love her. They also share sci-fi themes, other dimensions, betrayal, a degree of wistfulness, and the desire to go to a certain faraway place. 

Fantastic Children builds heavy on the retrofuturist aesthetic established in Metropolis. Both has a similar existential sci-fi theme with a femme fatal whom the story revolves around, governmental conspirations and even a son running errands for his powerful father, but while Metropolis is very condensed, Fantastic Children has a broader scope with many subplots. 

Very similar animation and character design. Also, the main female character of "Fantastic Children" appears to be a cameo of "A tree of Palms" main female protagonist. 

Mysterious and technologically superior pale white-haired people hold the key to everything? Gee, who would have guessed? 

Although depicted in very different ways, these two present original perspectives of what can be related to the Buddhistic concept of Samsara and breaking the cycle of suffering.
