Wicked Lessons
|
if you watch them both, you'll find them to be very similiar. Even if wicked lessons is a hentai, both deal with incest anyways. The sibling love story is presented in a nice way in each although they end up with different consequences.

If you liked
Death Note

...then you might like
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
|
Dig out your sleuth hats. Both series follow a plot that is very challenging to figure out. While Ghost in the Shell has a greater focus on action, Death Note and GitS share the ability to baffle with plot twists and complex schemes.

If you liked
Cromartie High School
|
...then you might like
Gintama
|
Gintama is a mix of the past and future, while Cromartie High deals with present day life. However, both animes are hilariously exotic and whacky, pushing the limit of random episode plots. Both animes also show off a bigger cast of main and sub characters. If you're looking for comedy, look no further.

.hack//SIGN
|
There's a similar atmosphere in both of these animes - at the same time tense and playful. Both stories drop you into the middle of things and give you one piece of the puzzle at a time, as well as having a similar trio of main characters. There's a certain darkness in the background in both; a sinister something which we only catch glimpses of at a time, but which moves behind the scenes and may have power for either good or evil.

If you liked
Fujoshi Kanojo

...then you might like
Tonari no 801-chan
|
Tonari no 801-chan helped inspire Fujoshi Kanojo and offers a slightly less crazed fujoshi lead (don't let the green monster fool you!). Tonari no 801-chan is more comedy based and less romantic. However, Fujoshi Kanojo's romance can be hampered by the girl's over-the-top behavior.

Ergo Proxy

...then you might like
Neon Genesis Evangelion
|
Same post-apocalyptic concept, just everything is in a much smaller scale in terms of setup, characters, and story. Both series stress on character emotions and questions of morals, focusing more on the psychological developments rather than action, yet it is all laid out in a very advanced science fiction background. You also have the god-like rulers who debate amongst each other in monotone voices without significant physical features.
The stories are paced the same, really the key difference is that the focus is not on children and many of the similar extreme questions and psychological challenges are presented in a much subdued and more subtle manner.

If you liked
Zegapain
|
...then you might like
RahXephon
|
Both are sci-fi with lots of mecha battles and very similar in their conflictions on what is reality and what is not. Rahxephon has enclosed spaces separate from the outside world where people live oblivious to the actual situation outside of these zones, in which humankind is battling the enemy. They are similar in appearance to the Deutera areas but conceptually like the quantum servers in Zegapain. Also in both anime the enemy appear human though they are not. The main character is in both cases a male and have a love interest.

Taishou Yakyuu Musume.
|
In short Taisho Yakyuu Musume is Saki set in the 1800s with baseball instead of mahjong.
The two series share lots of similarities from a wonderful and diverse cast of girls (a girl for everyones particular fetish lol) to a slice-of-life school club setting with some srsbiz competition going down. Thats only my impression after seeing the first episode of Taisho + some promos and following Saki anime/manga since it started in April.

Kamisama no Ude no Naka

One takes place in an all-boys catholic school, while the other one is a school that taught the students everythings about sex.
Both are yaoi mangas that got smut.
And both are similar in the fact that those are series of stories revolving around the students, teachers, and staff.
Student X Student ; Student X Sensei ; Sensei X Sensei...

If you liked
Witchblade
|
...then you might like
Devilman Lady
|
Devilman Lady and Witchblade look at the evolution of man into monsters, though Witchblade looks at it through a more technological way as opposed to Devilman Lady which is solely supernatural.
They both feature adult female lead characters who transform against their will into tough, blood-thirsty, "monster-like", feral fighters. The protagonists of each anime have important reasons for fighting, though they are different, as one fights to find her true identity as a person or a beast (Devilman Lady) and the other fights to protect and take care of her daughter (Witchblade).
Violence, sexuality, adult life, government conspiracies and the unbridled lusts for raw power are explored thematically in both anime as well.
