I really like the poetic nature of this anime. My favorite aspects are, the poetic nuance, mystery, and fictional elements. Your recommendations don't have to be the exact same genres, but have some likeness. Please consider checking out my personal list before making recommendations. Thankyou soooo much in advance

hm i think Great Pretender is quite good.. also from the other suggestions I've seen I reckon Yuukoku No Moriarty is not as good but still pretty good and Vanitas is even less good but not bad

If you want some seinen stuff from other genres
Please watch Monogatari Series, 3-Gatsu No Lion (not much to do with mystery but it has really good poetic nuances and the reflection between human behavior & Shogi is really beautiful)

baccano! for the action and mystery aspect, plus the vibes are similar style wise
shouwa genroku rakugo shinjuu for the mystery mainly and the homoerotic tension between the protagonists LOL (it's very light I'm joking) anyways it also includes a traditional japanese form of storytelling, rakugo. the stories are pretty entertaining

It can’t be a masterpiece like bsd but Vanitas no Karte (the case study of vanitas) is similar and at the same level as bsd. Black butler is also good like bsd.

I personally like this show. One thing that isn’t necessary is the super powers. I would be fine if this was just a normal organised crime anime. But that’s just my opinion. And it’s still hype when they use their powers. And the way they deal with depression and feeling isolated is very solid. There are shows that do it better, but Bsd does it in a way where it’s almost optimistic.

Anime I think are similar to Bsd would probably be Baccano or jojo part 5. But that’s just the organised crime genre in general.

The case study of vanitas (it could take forever for another season, but it's definitely worth watching if you like bsd)

Link Click might not be all that similar but it's a masterpiece

I forgot to mention this one because it's not exactly anything supernatural, just something lighthearted, but I think bsd humour enjoyers would totally like this:

My new boss is goofy

Since everybody has said Vanitas, I’d suggest Pandora Hearts.
