If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like Seisenshi Dunbine add

In both series, the main character is mysteriously beamed from present day Japan to a medieval, parallel world that is somewhat similar to our own; in Dunbine, we have Byston Well, a land somehow contained within the Earth, and in Escaflowne there is Gaia, a land orbiting the earth but somehow invisible to it. These parallel worlds are both ravaged by war because of the sinister plans of men who have also crossed between the worlds: and \'war\' in both cases, is fought by humans who pilot bio-mechanical robots. Both Escaflowne and Dunbine have their pros and cons. Escaflowne is much shorter, but Dunbine is overlong. The central character of Escaflowne, Hitomi, brings significant Shoujo elements to the story, creating a more androgenously targeted show (whether that is a pro or a con to you varies. Personally, I think this detail gives Escaflowne the edge, as it becomes less of \'just another Robot fight\'). Obviously, Escaflowne is a more modern series and Dunbine has pretty primitive animation... but if you enjoy one, it is well worth hunting down the other!
