If you liked Top Secret: The Revelation add

...then you might like Psycho-Pass add

Police/detective stories where the investigators scientifically analyze people's brains. The main character is the new member of the team. Quite violent and gory. Have characters who have been gone psycho because of the crimes they have to deal with. Have a strong appeal to female viewers.

If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Mirai Nikki (TV) add

Creepy mystery-thriller plots. Feature a stalker girl. And lots of blood and whacks. Shiki is a lot more mood-driven, and Mirai Nikki feels more mainstream.

If you liked Fantastic Children add

...then you might like Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e add

Noein is like a jazzed-up version of Fantastic Children. A group of mysterious people have something to do with other dimensions, and they get involved with some kids, including an important girl they are looking for. Some of them give up on the mission along the way; there's sci-fi, and mystery (and other related things that might be spoilers). They're both somewhat mature series, with lots to think about, and some quiet yet vivid drama, and they don't have a lot of action or romance. Have a somewhat unusual art style. Incidentally, they are both original series (not based off anything) which may be why they both have a strong cohesiveness throughout the whole.

If you liked Tegamibachi add

...then you might like Mr. Morning add

About a young boy who enters a service industry (mail delivery, train conductor). Have similar sorts of worlds, with an undercurrent of class struggles. The people use magical stones (spirit amber, rainbow stone).

If you liked Oooku add

...then you might like Yagyuu Hijouken Samon add

Historical stories with a realistic feel about court life, and the drama and politics there. And the romance and "bedroom life" of the shogun. There is a crossover of some characters (Iemitsu, particularly). Ooku is longer, and a josei. Samon is a seinen, with a lot of martial arts.

If you liked Top Secret: The Revelation add

...then you might like Shinrei Tantei Yakumo add

-About detectives and police who solves murder mysteries, and must deal with the living, as well as the memories of the dead. -Each has two main characters: one has a secretive and acidic personality, and the other wants to figure out what burdens he carries to make him that way. -Has something to spice up a plain mystery storyline (Shinrei has supernatural elements, and Himitsu has sci-fi) -Both have a lot of horror and creepiness. Himitsu is a LOT more gory (but I think it's the more interesting of the two).

If you liked Genshiken add

...then you might like Moyashimon add

Welcome to your crazy college life!

If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like Terra e... (TV) add

Shoujo (or at least shoujo-esque) fantasy sci-fi's with a heavy focus on drama. In Escaflowne, it's mostly romance; in Terra, it's mostly tragedy. Some occasional battles and fights. The main character makes important decisions for the people they are with, but unfortunately they don't always make the right choice, leading to disaster. The main female character is a psychic. The antagonist has a lot of interesting angles to him. Have rich orchestral and choral soundtracks. Character designs are somewhat old-school. The endings could be seen as sad, disappointing, or bittersweet.

If you liked Route 20 add

...then you might like add

Short, atmospheric stories about a city isolated from the rest of the world, and people wondering about what is outside.

If you liked Sarashi Asobi add

...then you might like Oni ni Itaru Doro add

The smirking shinigami/demonslayer seem similar, and the stories are set in school.

If you liked Meteor Methuselah add

...then you might like Nanika Mochigattemasu ka add

I can't really compare the stories, but Issha from Nanika really reminds me of Yuca from Immortal Rain.

If you liked Shinsengumi Imon Peace Maker add

...then you might like Kootetsu no Hana add

Both are about the Shinsengumi, and share some characters (Hijitaka, Souji). Have a theme of revenge.

If you liked Sengoku Tsukiyo add

...then you might like Shut Hell add

A young guy finds out he is the re-incarnation of some dangerous woman from the past, who lived in a time of war. Sengoku is a shoujo, Shut is a seinen, and pretty mature.

If you liked Shinreigari add

...then you might like Moyashimon add

They're different genres (comedy, horror) but they both focus a lot on the process of sake brewing. They also have a young man who can "see" creatures that people normally can't.

If you liked Moyashimon add

...then you might like Kuragehime add

Tsukimi's relationship with jellyfish (particularly Clara) reminds me of Sawaki's relationship with microbes. Both are unconventional comedies about really ordinary life, with some odd twist. Lots of interesting characters.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Maou: Juvenile Remix add

Characters who use vigilante justice to make the world into what they think is perfect. They use questionable methods to choose the worthy, and cull the unworthy.

If you liked Evil Heart add

...then you might like Kizu add

Serious and dramatic stories about children who suffer domestic violence. KIZU has a little bit of fantasy.

If you liked Terra e... (TV) add

...then you might like No.6 add

Sci-fi's where a boy lives in an advanced and tightly controlled society, but then gets in trouble with them, and must flee. Even though his life is at risk, he wishes to return. Shion and Jomy are both very impulsive (though Jomy is probably a little more intelligent). The boy has a mentor figure who introduces him to his new life in the outside world (Nezumi is like a cross between Blue and Keith). There's a little flavor of 'bromance' too.

If you liked Destroy and Revolution add

...then you might like Nanika Mochigattemasu ka add

A student has small-scale telekinetic ability, and a schoolmate convinces him to use his power to bring justice to the world. Lots of discussions about ethics. Unusual art styles.

If you liked Tegamibachi add

...then you might like Kiba no Tabishounin: The Arms Peddler add

Kiba feels like a more adult version of Tegami. They start off with a young boy who loses his family, and is taken around by a rather stoic adult. This adult works a maligned trade (as a letter bee, arms peddler). They explain that their wares are ambiguous: they can be used for good or evil. Weapons can be used to kill, letters can be used to tell lies or hurtful truths. The boy's eyes are opened to the truth of the world he lives in. Have a similar steampunk/Western style.

If you liked Superior add

...then you might like Lost Seven add

Fantasies about a group of heroes dedicated to fighting off the demons who are taking over the land. A girl (who is demon royalty) tags along with them, even though she is their "enemy."

If you liked Kiseijuu add

...then you might like Guardian Dog add

Aliens come to earth and possess human bodies. Our hero still retains his consciousness. Parasyte is a lot more violent.

If you liked Beast Master add

...then you might like Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun add

School shoujos about a girl who is asked to help a fellow male student. The guy looks scary, and can be violent, but he is very naive and his personality can be very sweet. It's all she can do to keep up with the crazy things he tries to pull! Romantic interest develops between them.

If you liked Ouran Koukou Host Club add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Comedy, drama, bishounen, bright colors and nice animation. You need to have a weird sense of humor to appreciate them. Mawaru is a bit more naughty.

If you liked Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Hot guys and gals, and weird sci-fi-supernatural-ness that the characters all go along with.

If you liked Kakumei no Hi add

...then you might like Boku to Kanojo no XXX add

About a boy who swaps his gender (Kei finds out he is intersexed, and actually more of a female, Akira gets his body swapped). And now his old guy friends are interested in him romantically, even after they know who he used to be. Have a similar sort of weird comedy, and brazen characters.

If you liked Level E add

...then you might like Foo Fighter Fuji add

Comedies where a boy meets an alien...and gets more than he bargained for. "Foo" is a one-shot.

If you liked Meteor Methuselah add

...then you might like Tokage add

Immortal people seeking death, and searching for someone from their past; in their words, they were cursed with immortality because "I ate a god/angel." Are constantly being chased and attacked by people for various reasons. Have a young person who sticks with them. Both have lots of action; "Immortal" also has adventure and sci-fi. Sort of "edgy" shoujos.

If you liked Dogs: Bullets & Carnage add

...then you might like Gangsta. add

Life on the grungy side of the city. Assassins, guns, swords, and violence. I think Gangsta has more quiet moments. Art style is similar.

If you liked Sidooh add

...then you might like Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin add

VERY mature seinens about a difficult time in Japan (after a massive cholera epidemic, after the end of WWII), and boys (brothers, fellow inmates) who must face incredibly brutal and cruel hardships at the hands of circumstances, and evil people. The only ones they can trust are themselves. That trust is the only real warmth in the series. Have lots of violence and rape. Art style is similar.
