@kim8n they translate to roughly the same sentence in English and there isn’t much of a difference.
They both mean “seems to be” or “seems”!
- Japanese
「元気そうだ」simply means “ look fine or great”, whereas 「元気に見える」implies “ look fine apparently but not really is.”
①この間、ばったりトムに会ったけど、元気そうだったよ。
“I ran into Tom the other day. He looked great!”
②この間、ばったりトムに会ったけど、元気に見えたよ。違うの？
“I ran in to Tom the other day. He seemed fine. Isn’t he not?”
“I heard he just broke up with his girlfriend.”
