If you liked Zankyou no Terror add

...then you might like Yuukoku no Moriarty add

Orphans threatens a nation in order to make themselves heard. They have different reasons. The Moriarty brothers want equity in England, whereas Nine and Twelve want the Athena Project (an experiment they were subjects in) to be exposed.

If you liked Banana Fish add

...then you might like Yuukoku no Moriarty add

So William James Moriarty is a criminal genus, and Aslan Jade Callenreese (Ash Lynx) is a gang leader who happens to be a genus. But they're both blond, genus criminals and they both have a friend from a different walk of life. Both series make commentary on classism, and they are both inspired by classic literature.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou add

Both Natsume Takashi and Inaba Yūshi are orphans that had trouble fitting in with other people (whether those people be classmates or living relatives), and they both have an affinity with yōkai. Although they are both friendly with yōkai, they are both close friends with an exorcist. Both Natsume and Inaba find themselves in the possession of a magic book (Inaba's book chose him, and Natsume's belonged to his grandma). Both Natsume and Inaba try to keep their book and connection with yōkai a secret from their human friends (Natsume because he was bullied as a child for his ability to see yōkai, and Inaba because he wouldn't believe it himself if it wasn't happening to him).

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like Net-juu no Susume add

How are MMO Junkie and Welcome to the NHK similar? Well, both protagonists are hikkomori NEETs, and both of them (unwillingly) get help from someone of the opposite sex to pull them out of their hikkomori ways. Both series feel like the writers understand the lifestyle of hikkomori and NEETs. Both series are saying this lifestyle is unhealthy without insulting it. Also, both shows are about gaming in a non-issekai way.

If you liked Hirune Hime: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari add

...then you might like Black Fox add

Both Napping Princess and Blackfox are about a teenage girl trying to protect her father's research from a large company. In both films the company had previous connections to one of the girl's parents. Also in both films the girl's mother died pre-story. (At least, that's what I assume happened to Rikka's mom. Kokone's mother was explained to be dead.) Both main character's assisted by machines Kokone with her tablet and self-driving motorcycle, and Rikka with the animal drones. Kokone carries a stuffed dog that used to belong to her mother, and one of the animal drones, Oboro, is a dog. Doggies for the win!

If you liked Youkai Watch add

...then you might like Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun add

If you're into yōkai lore, you'll really love both Hanako-kun and Yōkai Watch. Not only are both shows about yōkai. They're also both mostly episodic with a new yōkai being introduced each episode. In both series the protagonist has to befriend the yōkai that are causing trouble for their classmates and family. (Well, just classmates in the case of Hanako-kun.) Both protagonists have a yōkai assistant who claims to be more knowledgable about other yōkai then he actually is.

If you liked Heisei Tanuki Gassen Ponpoko add

...then you might like Tenki no Ko add

Both Tenki no Ko and Pom Poko address environmental issues as well as the changing role of classic folklore in modern society. Both films share mixed outlook that's both optimistic and pessimistic on these issues. Anther theme they share is that of family. While Tenki no Ko looks more at a runaway who chooses his own family, Pom Poko shows the closeness of a tanuki family.

If you liked Great Teacher Onizuka add

...then you might like Colorful (Movie) add

How is Colorful like Great Teacher Onizuka? Colorful is a straight laced film, while GTO is a silly series. The thing is, they're both quite serious anime. (GTO is just a serious anime that allows itself to get silly at times, and I honestly think that's what makes it so great.) Both anime address Japan's suicide problem (in very different ways).

If you liked Angel Beats! add

...then you might like Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

Both Angel Beats and Aohana are about young people getting over death. In Angel Beats it's their own deaths they need to get over, and in Aohana it's the death of their friend Meiko (nicknamed Menma). In both series the characters have some major emotional turmoil to get though, and in both series the characters connect though a club with a "secret base."

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Bokura no add

Ok so, putting Evangelion as an alternative recommendation from Bokurano might be an obvious choice, but there's nothing wrong with obvious choices. Both Evangelion and Bokurano take a dark look at the mecha genre. In both anime the protagonists have to deal with personal emotional struggles as well as, you know, defending the world piloting giant robots. Both anime have a tragic ending. (Well, I guess Evangelion has multiple tragic endings.)

If you liked Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo add

...then you might like Tenki no Ko add

I would recommend all of Makoto Shinkai's films, but I feel like Children Who Chase Lost Voices and Tenki no Ko have a similar theme. You don't mess with the nature of things, whether that be weather or death. Are you willing to sacrifice someone's life for what you want? Children Who Chase Lost Voices is about a man and a girl traveling through the Underworld to bring back his wife and her father. However, they need to exchange someone's life to bring back to dead. (One of the two characters knows this, the other doesn't.) Tenki no Ko is about a girl who can control the weather. However, whenever she uses her power part of her disappears.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Tenki no Ko add

I feel like Tenki no Ko and Natsume Yūjinchō have some things in common. Natsume Takeshi being an orphan who can see yōkai, and has more yōkai friends then human ones. As a child, Natsume was ostracized by the other kids because they didn't believe him. As a teen, Natsume mostly keeps his ability to see yōkai secret. (Although there are a few people he knows who can also see yōkai, so he's open with them.) Although, Hodaka from Tenki no Ko isn't an orphan, he is a runaway. We never see has parents, but we know his home life was bad. He meets a girl who can control the weather (so she's essentially a yōkai), and they start a business making it sunny on days customers request sun. Of course, there are repercussions for going public with this ability.

If you liked Gake no Ue no Ponyo add

...then you might like Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta add

This might be the obvious choice. Both Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta and Ponyo are about a boy who befriends a mermaid. Both mermaids have an innocent outlook on the world, and they both became instantly attached to their human friend. Both mermaids have a protective father, and both humans are raised by a single parent. (Kai's mother living away in Tokyo, and Sosuke's father being out fishing.) Also both films contain a great flood. In Ponyo the flood is caused by the Ponyo being taken from the sea, and in Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta, it's caused by Lu and her father being nearly killed.

If you liked Andersen Douwa: Ningyohime add

...then you might like Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta add

Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta is essentially The Little Mermaid without the contract with the sea witch, the coming-of-age ceremony to go to the surface, the plot to murder the prince, the tragic ending, or the romance. Ok, Yoake Tsugeru Lu and The Little Mermaid aren't that simular, aside from the fact that their both about a relationship between a mermaid and a human and they take place by the sea.

If you liked Chi's Sweet Home add

...then you might like Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue. add

Both Chi and Haru are stray cats that are taken in by luck to a semi-reluctant new owner. (Semi-reluctant for different reasons mind you. Subaru likes to be alone, and the Yomada's landlady doesn't allow pets.) Both cats quickly adjust to being pets, and in both cases the humans end up keeping the stray cat they found.

If you liked Bokura no add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

Madoka Magica is a magical girl series about some teenage girls who make a contract with a cute animal named Kyuubey. Sounds like your typical magical girl series, right? Wrong! The series takes a sudden dark turn. Similarly, Bokurano is about a group of middle school students who meet a mysterious man in a cave. This man, Kokopelli, asks the kids if they want to play a game he created. The game involves saving the world while piloting a meccha. The show also takes a dark turn.

If you liked Bokura no add

...then you might like Digimon Adventure: Bokura no War Game! add

Things that are sopposibly programmed in a computer come to the real world, and it's up to a bunch of kids to save the world. This disprition could fit both Bokurano and Digimon: Our War Game. Sure, the kids in Bokurano are older, and the series is darker.

If you liked Black Cat add

...then you might like Gunnm add

Both Black Cat and Battle Angel Alita are about bounty hunters. Both main characters are not interested in money (something that sets them apart from other characters). Both Train and Alita have had experience fighting before becoming bounty hunters. (Train being a former assassin. Alita not knowing who she is but having great skill in marshal arts.) Both Train and Alita have a friend that they live with who worked as a bounty hunter longer then them. However, Train and Sven usually work together, while Alita and Ido prefer to work solo. Also, both series have a special café/bar for bounty hunters where the main characters occasionally go. The main difference is, in Battle Angel Alita the world in governed by a city above the world (a Castle in the Sky - yeah, that reference doesn't fit, but f* it) and robotics, while Black Cat has (a modern government?) and people use magic--superpow--Tao. They use Tao. Also, Alita's post-apocalyptic while Black Cat's fantasy.

If you liked Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan add

...then you might like Black Cat add

Both protagonists used to kill people, but have taken a personal vow to protect people to make up for what they've done in the past. Granted, Train was an assassin and Kenshin was a samurai, and they have different reason for no longer wanting to kill people. However, there are aspects of both manga that I feel will appeal to the same kind of people.

If you liked Hoshi no Koe add

...then you might like Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho add

Personally I'd recommend all Makoto Shinkai's films. The thing about these two is, though, one's a full-length film that feels like a short, and other's a short that feels like a full-length film. Shinkai's other shorts feel like shorts, and his other full-length films feel like full-length films. There's just something about these two.

If you liked Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa add

...then you might like Fushigi no Umi no Nadia add

Boy inventor meets girl with magic crystal. Both stories involve a lost kingdom. Both stories have comic relief antagonists who become allies of the protagonists. Also they're both loosely based on the novels of Jules Verne.

If you liked Digimon Adventure: Bokura no War Game! add

...then you might like Summer Wars add

Well, they are both directed by Mamoru Hosoda, and they're his two most similar films. Summer Wars could even be a remake of Our War Game without the Digimon. They're both about a computer virus spreading outside the digital realm and into ours, and both protagonists are tasked with taking down the virus. The main difference is one involves his semi-girlfriend's family, and the other doesn't.

If you liked Seirei no Moribito add

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

Both shows are about a prince who has to leave his castle for a while. Both shows could be historical fiction, but have a signal element the makes them fantasy.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Youkai Watch add

Both protagonists can see yokai when the majority of people around them can't. They both help various yokai and people having problems with yokai. Both of them have a yokai companion that lives in his house. Plus, they own a magical item that once belonged to one of his grandparents.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Kill la Kill add

Both are magical girl anime that explore different themes then other magical girl series. Both these shows are a bit more mature then the majority of the magical girl genre.

If you liked Hotaru no Haka add

...then you might like Hadashi no Gen add

Both are set in WWII and have young protagonists who care deeply about a younger sibling. Both protagonists are a victim of the war, and they both lose a parent. (One loses both.)

If you liked Great Teacher Onizuka add

...then you might like Kodomo no Jikan (TV) add

Both these anime are about a new teacher assigned to a class who had a bad experience with a previous homeroom teacher. Both teachers try to get to know their students on a personal level, and help them with their problems. I find both shows rather sweet, but I must worn you: if you find the thought of horny nine-year-olds uncomfortable, you might want to stay away from Kodomo no Jikan.

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Nichijou add

Both these shows are comedies set in a high school. More then that. They're the same style of comedy, and they have a similar feel. They both have a colorful cast of characters, and they both have a teacher obsessing over a student. (One of which just wants to study said student, for she knows she's a robot. The other is a pervert.)
