Both contain mecha somewhat flying, young lovers, battles, aliens and female main character more upfront, with more knowledge and suffering then the male mc.
Similar elements/themes including:
- mecha
- young lovers
- fantastical racism
- large cast
- council that rules world

Huge cast of main/almost main characters, MC meets weird girl that they fall in love with, mechs, and colorful as hell. The MC and the girl also pilot together in the same mech! THE MECH ALSO HAS A SIMILAR COLOR SCHEME
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

The anime give off a very similar feel, and if you liked 002, you'd LOVE Anemone from Eureka Seven - look her up

Both are mecha shows set in the far future with an emphasis on the main characters connection, bond, and romance each share. Both go through trails and phases that test each other's devotion to not only the romance aspect but the interactions with other individuals close to them.
This series is so Similar to this in many ways.
-First whole Non-human girl and Human guy relationship.
-Second, the way the girl is gaining confidence and acceptance about her being different while they guy starts out with not much of a backbone but starts to gain confidence as well.
-third how they both need each other to polite the Mecha effectively.
The characters themselves remind me of Eureka 7s:
Hiro - Basically is Renton but more emo lol
Zero Two - Shes Eureka but with more of Anemones personality
Ichigo - Basically the gender-flipped holland lol
Goro - Once again the gender flip Talho
Mitsuru - a more angsty moondoggie

They are almost essentially the same when it comes to it romances and Evangelion inspired framework. Although Eureka Seven is leagues better than Franxx.

In both stories, there is a boy who is kinda a wuss but destined for something great and there is a girl who is a "no non-sense ace pilot that have a shady background with a certain organization and whose humanity is also questionable (half alien\oni)". Both character are strongly attracted to each other, and together they go to pilot the "awesome transforming-mech thing capable of one-shotting all their enemies without much effort but requires two pilots to operates".
The two main characters lived in a post apocalyptic world where military order is absolute.
the only difference is that E7 is about innocent love while Franxx

Both Animes are set in a post-apocalyptic world where the male and female protagonists who share a mutual attraction to each other need to join forces to pilot a mecha that will only work at full power with the two of them piloting it.
- Ichigo and Zero Two really similiar to Eureka and Anemone (the heroines from each anime)
- ichigo and zero two has the same hair color as eureka and anemone, blue and pink in GENERAL (maybe ichigo and eureka is different but in general their hair is blue)
- female mc is non human (eureka and zero two)
- both mecha has the same color theme (red and white)
- they fight againts monsters (coralian and klaxosaur)
- the mecha (strelitzia and nirvash) are piloting by boy and girl
Both series share a common theme; there is a boy who can be a wet-blanket and a crybaby sometimes, and a girl who is only half-human. They team up to pilot a transforming mech into battle against monstrous threats in a post-apocalyptic world.

Both shows have similar premises with the main character wanting to achieve more in life, which leads to a 'destined' meeting with a girl that isn't considered human and together they operate a mecha (the strongest one amongst their squad)
In both shows also, the girl is the one who 'owns' the mecha, and the guy is the only one that can bring out its true potential

Eureka Seven is basically everything Darling in the FranXX tried to be, but executed with much more finesse and without the overbearing focus on sexual metaphors. Features a coming of age story involving a boy falling in love with a not-so-human girl, the struggles of said couple finding their place in life, and flashy mecha battles (except this time the mechs surfboard).

I recall watching one of the early episodes of Darling in the FranXX and thinking to myself that it "gave me a similar vibe" to Eureka Seven. These two shows are extremely similar when it comes to their respective premises. For example, both shows are mecha anime that place a major focus on the romance between a human boy and a girl who is (at least partially) alien/non-human.
However, the main female leads are opposites in personality: Eureka is very stoic and subdued and her relationship with Renton takes some time to develop into romance whereas Zero Two displays her emotions openly and is a

For the newer anime fans, who have watched Darling in the Franxx. if you want something similar and in my opinion WAY BETTER, you should definitely give Eureka Seven a watch, and Eureka Seven only, do not watch Eureka AO, but you can watch the movies after the original series by studio Bones. Both are a Mecha Drama anime with a fantastic romance story to go along with the overarching plot along with both having an alien girl involved in the romance, being Eureka and 02. Overall if you have seen one you must watch the other. Eureka Seven is by far the better show
