Premise wise, both are pretty similar. Both star a main character that are pretty depressed about their current situation and want a sort of freedom. Both shows include the appearance of a colorful, mysterious girl who appears to the main character unexpectedly in the first episode, seeming to offer and escape from the main character’s unwanted current situation (manic pixie dream girl). Both female characters have a questionable humanity, and are hinted to be potential alien/alien-human hybrids. Both story’s central conflict are about fighting back against some sort of mysterious, unknown alien life forms. Both shows focus on the main couple who only through piloting a mecha together can they unlock their full potential. Eureka Seven focuses more on the innocence/coming of age aspect of the main couple’s relationship, while DitF seems to circumvent that(as of episode 3). Also, the main girl from DinF, 02, is very similar to Anemone from Eureka Seven. Both have a pink color palette, and act kind of crazy. Both are potentially dangerous to anyone who works with them(Hiro in DinF, Dominic in E7). I feel like Hiro and 02 are pretty similar visually to Anemone and Dominic.
