If you liked Hadashi no Gen add

...then you might like Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni add

Both are shows set in WWII detailing the consequences of nuclear weapons and of war in general. Despite the setting, both shows balances melancholic and upbeat moment masterfully and creates a poignant picture of life during war. These shows have the ability to make you feel happy and utterly pained when it wants to. Hadashi no Gen may have dated animation compared to Kono Sekai which was only released recently but it's story is as powerful and timeless.

If you liked Gin no Saji add

...then you might like ReLIFE add

These shows take place in a school setting but are grossly different from the typical slice of life shows that are set in a school in terms of the theme of the story. The usual school-set shows are usually light hearted in nature and typically revolve around the romance or the mischiefs of the main cast but in these two shows present scenarios that break away from the usual – most notable would be the absence of a beach episode and the focus on the characterization of the cast instead of just showing their day-to-day shenanigans.

Both shows belong to the fantasy genre and the world-building in them are greatly executed. Each episode paints a sneak-peak of the world where the show is set and is continually elaborated as the story unfolds. The cast of both shows are also diverse which makes their interactions and activities a pleasure to watch. Both shows understand their respective settings, beautify it each episode and makes full use of them to further the story.

These two are slice-of-life shows that center around a day-in-the-life of a group of high school boys. Both shows focuses on the interaction between the boys in the group and on the romances that each of them are involved with. All of the characters of both shows fall under a character trope but they are still fun to watch.

Both shows deal with historical and mature themes and are similar in exposition. They both introduce an enigmatic character whose character and past are gradually uncovered as the plot unfolds. Both are not presented in the conventional linear manner which makes both shows distinct and interesting. In both shows, the main characters are involved in a particular activity which is an essential element to the story and provides and great setting – in Rakugo Shinju, it’s rakugo while in Saraiya Gouyou, it is kidnap for ransom. The characters on both shows are refreshingly real as they break away from the common character mold. If you are looking for something different, I recommend both.

The story of both series center around female leads with strong character and unwavering determination to accomplish their goals. Most of the people in the show including their potential love interests, who continuously help them out reach their goals, are drawn to their character and charisma. The character design of Skip Beat might put you off but please consider it. Both are among the good shoujos out there.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

In both series, a ghost, who can only be seen by one character, intervenes with the relationship/s of the main characters. The ghost, though unseen by most of the cast, greatly affects them and guides them to come in terms with their respective pasts. Both are very character-driven shows with plenty of heart-wrenching moments.

The two are school life dramas that integrate music into the plot. These shows will give you a roller coaster of emotions through their awesome visuals, well-crafted characters and masterful story telling.

If you liked One Punch Man add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

In both shows, superheroes and having supernatural abilities are normal, being a hero is an occupation and chaos is almost everywhere. Similarly, the main MCs of the series experienced unfair treatment and share the desire to help people. Both shows also have well-animated action scenes since they are produced by popular studios Madhouse and Bones respectively.

If you liked Witch Craft Works add

...then you might like Flying Witch add

Well, to state the obvious, both shows involve witches. These are supernatural-themed animes with plenty of comedic reliefs produced by the same studio – JC Staff. Story-wise though, the shows are quite different. In WCW, the focus is on the fight between the good and bad witches over the possession of the male MC’s power. Whereas in Flying Witch, the focus is on the life of the female MC who moves out of home to the country to become independent by witches’ standards.

If you liked Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou add

...then you might like Osomatsu-san add

Both are comedies with no general plot. Each episode is made-up of mini-episodes showing the misadventures of the main cast. I can recommend Danshi Koukousei to everyone but Osomatsu-san’s comedy may not be for all. Give the show a chance though then decide.

If you liked Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

...then you might like Zankyou no Terror add

Though the goals of the MCs of both series are different they try to achieve these through a common means: terrorism. Both shows present us with cunning protagonists who blow up things for a cause. These anime have properly executed plots and characters with ideals that often clash throughout the series. Code Geass and its sequel balances serious scenes with light-hearted moments but Zankyou is mostly dark and serious.

If you liked Clannad add

...then you might like ef: A Tale of Memories. add

Tears will definitely flow if you watch these anime, so if you are in the mood for drama check out any of the two. Ef and the Clannad franchise have great characters burdened with plenty of emotional baggage and they are the meat of the story. The characters will confront their burdens and as a result will grow but the path will not always be sunny. If one of the shows relentlessly stabbed your heart as you watched expect the other to do the same.

If you liked Kekkai Sensen add

...then you might like One Punch Man add

The similarity of these anime is not on their plot or characters; it is in the quality of their animation. If you enjoyed the fluidity and the awesomeness of either series on your screens then the other is a must watch. Both series will give you greatly animated action scenes that will glue your eyes on the show each episode. Overall, One Punch Man and Kekkai Sensen are action-packed shows set in places filled with weirdness sprinkled with plenty of comedy.

If you liked the distinct personality of the male lead of either anime then you might like the other.

These series are episodic in nature or often develops a story using short arcs.

If you liked Akatsuki no Yona add

...then you might like Arslan Senki (TV) add

Both anime are about displaced aristocrats who are trying to achieve something for their respective kingdoms. Notable differences are on the setting and on the handling of the story. Arslan Senki is set on a Middle East-ish landscape and is more focused on showing how the main characters are going to reclaim their kingdom. The series is serious most of the time with more concentration on the politics and on the execution of war strategies. Akatsuki no Yona, on the other hand, takes place on a location similar to China. It is a lighthearted tale that focuses more on the individual stories of the main leads. Also, Akatsuki no Yona has plenty of fantasy elements compared to Arslan no Senki. Both series has a great exposition of their settings and has protagonists who grow through the series. You will be rooting for them because they make an effort to prove themselves. These anime, also, have good animation and attractive character designs that will lure you to watch. Lastly, both anime are enjoyable to watch, I hope you enjoy them as well 
