If you liked Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne add

...then you might like March Story add

Both are lavishly-illustrated series starring heroines imbued with supernatural abilities, whose mission is to exorcise demons hidden inside pieces of beautiful art (such as paintings, jewelry, etc.). Each story has its share of fantasy action and complicated romances. The only major differences are demographics: Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne is a magical girl/shoujo series, March Story is a seinen fantasy/horror tale.

...then you might like Mardock Scramble: The First Compression add

Both titles are of the cyberpunk genre and feature lavishly-designed futuristic worlds. The protagonists are young cyborg/technologically-enhanced women on a mission to unlock the clandestine reasons for their existences. These ladies have the capacity to be killing machines, yet through their experiences in a fateful partnership, prove they can love as well as they can fight.

If you liked Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai add

...then you might like Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki add

Both animes involve a seemingly-average Japanese high school boy who stumbles upon at least one or more beautiful girls from outer space. Through this encounter the hero unlocks his own supernatural powers in order to protect his ever-growing household of family, friends, and prospective girlfriends (human and alien alike). Teen romance (and all its awkward funniness), love triangles, hotsprings, and sci-fi action for a good measure.

If you liked Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai add

...then you might like Elfen Lied add

Both stories center around the mysterious appearances of a strange yet beautiful girl who crosses paths (and falls in love) with a seemingly-average Japanese high school boy and his family & friends. The main heroines are cute, buxom, and sometimes naïve, harboring sinister powers and darker personalities underneath their innocent appearances. Whereas Elfen Lied is heavy in violence and drama, Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai is fluffier and funnier.

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Boogiepop wa Warawanai add

Both series involve disturbing, psychological elements born through twisted technologies. Dark atmospheres encompass the lives of seemingly average students, each with their own past tragedies and/or mental instabilities. A first glance, the plotlines are confusing—albeit, both TV shows are intended for viewers who enjoy re-watching episodes to digest the subtle details, symbolisms, and intellectual undertones.

If you liked Shinpi no Sekai El-Hazard add

...then you might like Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki add

Made by the same animation team, these popular OVA's of the 90's mirror eachother in style and concept: bright, colorful animation amidst whimsical worlds that mix exotic locations with futuristic technology. Both series star a seemingly average Japanese schoolboy who stumbles upon a variety of alien-like (and beautiful) girls, many of whom seek his attention, and/or get the hero into all sorts of silly misadventures. Sexy comedy, sci-fi action, with some dramatic moments in between.

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Jormungand add

Both are mature seinen manga series that include women who are violent forces to be reckoned with. Intense action, political plays, and countless rounds of ammunition make up these Hollywood-rivaling adventures.

If you liked Sengoku Tsukiyo add

...then you might like March Story add

Both stories' conflicts force the protagonists to conceal their genders in order to remain safe from deadly, often horrific supernatural foes. Because of this, the series have moments gender-bendy humor, and more so, complicated romances.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi add

Both mature series star beautiful women who are cruely subjected to brutal, often S&M-like torture (Mnemosyne being significantly more erotic than Elfen Lied). Explicit gore and nudity are abundant in these psychologically-twisted dramas about uber-human ladies used as pawns for a new world order.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion Movie: Air/Magokoro wo, Kimi ni add

...then you might like Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku add

Both films are massively symbolic and best appreciated by viewers who enjoy analyzing the movies' literal and metaphorical meanings. Each movie is beautifully animated in such a way that it is almost a work of art: intended to be viewed multiple times, watched with a careful eye, and open to various interpretations. Their stories also approach the concepts of an "apocalypse" -- the end & renewal of the physical world, and that of the heroes' psyches. Truly fascinating films for more intellectual anime fans.

If you liked Najica Dengeki Sakusen add

...then you might like Burn Up! W add

Both series star sexy crime-fighting ladies with their own (and often wild) ways of delivering justice. Eechi shounen anime with minimal depth and maximum fanservice.

...then you might like Magic Knight Rayearth add

Both fantasy series star Japanese schoolgirls who become magical heroines. Each manga features an enchanted other world that was, or still is, threatened by dark forces whom these magical girls must defeat.

If you liked Galerians: Rion add

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Dual! Parallel Lun-Lun Monogatari add

If you liked Saiyuuki Gaiden add

...then you might like Olimpos add

Both series involve gods who have grown tired of their complacent perfection in the heavens, treachery amongst the gods, and generally emphasize that immortality is not all it is cracked up to be. Beautiful, divine-looking artwork contrasts these stories' dark and often cruel undertones.

If you liked Love Hina add

...then you might like Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki add

Both series are classic romantic comedies about an average Japanese guy who, through a comical twist of fate, finds himself inadverdently living with a herem of spunky, pretty girls. There are no lack of hot springs, either.

...then you might like Urusei Yatsura add

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

If you liked Shin Shirayuki-hime Densetsu Prétear add

...then you might like Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon add

Both series feature colorful animation, lovely music, and examplify the classic trimmings of the magical girl genre: flashy transformation sequences, pretty outfits, monsters-of-the-day, and an enchanting romance between the schoolgirl heroine and a gorgeous man.

If you liked Dogs: Bullets & Carnage add

...then you might like Black Lagoon add

Both series star anti-heroes who are insanely trigger-happy. Many of the heroes/heroines harbor grisly pasts that fuel their present-day lusts for violence. These mangas' explosive, over-the-top action sequences are drawn in dazzling detail that could easily rival big-budget Hollywood action flicks.

If you liked Little Butterfly add

If you liked Gravitation add

...then you might like Golden Cain add

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga add

Both series feature off-the-wall craziness, crude humor, superb animation, and two of the wildest (and weirdest) heroines in anime. Light on story but heavy on the laughs, FLCL and Excel Saga are strikingly original and addicting in their own perversity.
