If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Shinreigari add

A small town, a mysterious event in the past, a girl with spiritual connections, a powerful family with an old and powerful matriarch, a dam, a reporter, and a sexy woman. I could go on with small, minor things that make Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Shinreigari: Ghost Hound similar, but every second you waste reading this is a second not enjoying these great horror series!

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Shinreigari add

Shinregari: Ghost Hound and Serial Expiriments Lain have little similar in terms of story, but they share a similar psychological overtone. Throughout both series, the work of notable pyschologists are explored. Serial Expiriments Lain certainly relies on the pychological aspect more than Shinreigari, but you can clearly see similar influences in each show.

If you liked Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru! add

...then you might like Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! add

Simply put, Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! and Uchi no Maid Uzasugiru! are not your everyday lolicon anime. Instead of a teenage boy or a fat, middle-aged man, the lolicon in each series is a pretty, young woman! She happens to be entralled by little girls and loves to see them dress up in her handmade clothes. The shoujo-ai aspects of the two shows doesn't only make the border-line pedophilia barely palpable, it makes the idea of lolicon in general so much more attractive. Furthermore, the female lolicon has to deal with her own admirer ... If you like lolicon anime or shoujo-ai lolicon anime, then either of these series would be enjoyable.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

I see I was definitely not the only one to notice the Utena vibes in Mawaru Penguindrum. Besides some direct references, Mawaru Penguindrum simply has an Utena feel to it. These two shows place the idea of changing the world at the forefront. We see our hero fight to save the one they love, and a pink-haired, powerful man that manipulates them and others throughout the story. If you watched and enjoyed Utena, then you should definetly check out Mawaru Penguindrum. If you watched and enjoyed Mawaru Penguindrum, then check out Utena, the anime that inspired it.

If you liked Puni Puni☆Poemii add

...then you might like Yuri Seijin Naoko-san (2012) add

Lovely yuri and wacky, often perverted humor are what make Yuri Seijin Naoko-san and Puni Puni Poemi similar. Since they are both short OVAs, you should definitely check either one out if they happen to be up your alley.

If you liked Princess Principal add

...then you might like Release the Spyce add

Release the Spyve and Princess Principal are animes in which a group of girls work together as spies. Despite this, the setting and nature of the enemy are quite different, but if you love girl spies, you'll probably like both.

Mahou Shoujo Ore and Zombieland Saga are anime that poke fun at and parody the idol genre, albeit it different ways.

If you liked Kaiba add

...then you might like Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei add

Although there are little similarities between these two in terms of story or genre (Kaiba is sci-fi while The Tatami Galaxy is comedy), their animation and art style are very unique and top-notch. If you are looking for great stories paired with great visuals, these two are for you.

If you liked Mononoke add

Although there are little similarities between these two in terms of story or genre (Mononoke is horror/demons while The Tatami Galaxy is comedy), their animation and art style are very unique and top-notch. If you are looking for great stories paired with great visuals, these two are for you.

If you liked Mononoke add

...then you might like Kaiba add

Although there are few similarities between these two in terms of story or genre (Mononoke is horror/demons while Kaiba is sci-fi), their animation and art style are very unique and top-notch. If you are looking for great stories paired with great visuals, these two are for you.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

Mushishi and Kino no Tabi are episodic and follow one or two charcters respectively for the anime's entirety. The main similiarity is that both shows excel at developing their calm but interesting atmospheres, which improves them both greatly.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Dead Leaves add

Dead Leaves and FLCL are anime that feature amazing visuals and crazy, non-sensical comedy. If you enjoyed one, you'll likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko add

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu are slice-of-life series that present us with a school setting. In this setting, our male protagonist befriends various girls, but that is not what makes these titles similar. The similarity comes from the fact that the supernatural is a large element shared by each show.

If you liked Seireitsukai no Blade Dance add

...then you might like Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism add

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism and Seireitsukai no Blade Dance could both be described as action-harems. In both of these anime, a teenage boy goes to a school chock full of every gal you could want. He doesn't get along with the girls who lead the school at first and ends up fighting them, but, in the end, he earns their friendship and their affection. Furthermore, the protagonist of each series possesses a mysterious past that includes a mysterious woman he is at odds with.

If you liked Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga add

...then you might like Puni Puni☆Poemii add

Not only are these two shows produced by the same people, various side characters make an appearance in both of these anime and much of the humor is very similar. Although they are not related, if you watch and enjoy one, you should definitely watch the other.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Shiki add

Although most of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni's and Shiki's story and characters are not alike, their settings are. Both of these great horror series take place in a small, rural village in which a teenage boy has moved to in the past year. He is ultimately important in understanding and defeating the evil within the village.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like RahXephon add

Although RahXephon lacks Neon Genesis Evangelion's amazing characters and story, they are both mecha anime that introduce and use many philosophical themes. Futhermore, both series go quite heavy on the symbolism. In both of these shows, a teenage boy is forced to pilot a mech and we see the effect that has on him and the effect he has on the world. If you enoyed one, you'll most likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Haibane Renmei add

...then you might like So Ra No Wo To add

Haibane Renmei and So Ra No Wo To both feature a similar atmosphere, but, most importantly, they both feature some similar characters and character relationships. For example, Rakka from Haibane Renmei and Kanata from So Ra No Wo To are both young, female protagonists. They are both befriended by an older girl with a mysterious and unkown past, Reki in Haibane Renmei and Rio in So Ra No Wo To. Futhermore, each series showcase a motherly character that knows more about our older girl with a mysterious and unkown past than she first lets on. In Haibane Renmei, Nemu fits this discription and Filicia from So Ra No Wo To also fits this discription.

If you liked Haibane Renmei add

...then you might like Angel Beats! add

Although Angel Beats! and Haibane Renmei each possess a different atmosphere and overall feel, they both share a similar setting and the theme of people moving on to the next life. Both shows start off with the main character (Otonashi in Angel Beats! and Rakka in Haibane Remnei) awaking unsure of their past and where they are. Throughout the series, the protagonists learn about the true nature of the worlds they inhabit and that they have moved on to a new life. Also, both of these anime end on a sad note, but Haibane Renmei's ending is more welcome and hopeful than Angel Beats!'s ending. However, Angel Beats! and Haibane Renmei are not entirely similar when it comes to the moods they set. Haibane Renmei appears much more calm and realistic while Angel Beats! can feel intense and fast paced. These different moods can be easily seen in the comedic portions of each anime. The comedy in Haibane Renmei feels more down to earth or relatable, but the comedy in Angel Beats! is often extreme. This is not necessiarily a bad thing (the humor is actually quite funny), but it can and does feel out of place at some momements, especially during serious scenes.
