@ThatBlackButler Similar genre, yes, and aircraft get significant screentime, but apart from all that it's barely comparable. Personally it reminds me more of Tintin. Last Exile, Wolf's Rain and Spice and Wolf are all comparable series' but focus more on the fantastic, while Allison & Lillia focuses on a more realistic world (roughly equivalent to 1930s Europe.) Not just visually, but even the language is somewhat influenced with European names and "police authorities" in the subtitles.
this anime is fucking awesome. one of the best. been watching it on anime network on demand. great story, perfect characters, and absolutely amazing back ground art. 9 out of 10 . ( btw ive only seen the first two episodes , it doesnt get worse does it ? ) lol.
@Alkimear The series only gets better. The second half of the series (the second Generation, really) has a different tone and feels a little long in some areas compared to the first half's extremely tight pacing (the second half could've used another arc, in my opinion) but the different characters certainly renew the series' charm. The concept of seeing two generations of life in the world is pretty unique for anime and was a real treat. It's not just the cast; the world has character, too!
I loved this series when it first aired! I'm very disappointed at the lack of a dub, but I'll be picking up the box sets regardless; this series deserves the attention.
Anime Network always has the best anime! Thank You! :)

@Taiyz if it sells well maybe they will dub it. it worked for Clannad, ghost hound, etc.
