It's extremely difficult to explain why they're so similar without going into spoilers, but basically both series have major plot twists that make their plots very, very similar, to the point where I think Astra: Lost in Space was probably somewhat inspired by Kaguya-hime. I'd even claim that Astra is the more consistent, shounen version of Kaguya-hime. The two also both have similar themes due to the similar plots, such as identity. If you want a sci-fi mystery turned conspiracy, and are a fan of one of these series and want to see another take on these plot twists, checking the other one out might be worthwhile.

Both of the story was based on an old Japanese folklore called Kaguya Hime, and put an interesting twist on the real meaning of the myth.

While they don't share any plot similarity instead they share much of the same theme. 7 Seeds main characters are taken as experiments whilst in Kaguya Hime the casts are sacrifices. Both are horror, adventurous shojo series that has survival plot and shrouded in mysteries. Both are long running series that has garnered an Award.

Adventurous shoujo with supernatural elements revolving around a tennyo legend.

A group of teenagers is trying to unravel a mystery, with distant memories being an important clue in advancing the story. Also, both are long-running shojo manga series related to the Japanese folktale Taketori Monogatari.
