If you liked Dorohedoro add

...then you might like Chainsaw Man add

Both anime have a very similar type of black humor, action, and gore - and I generally find the vibes and atmosphere in both cases to be on the same wavelength. Chances are, if you like one, you'll like the other.

If you liked Devilman: Crybaby add

...then you might like Chainsaw Man add

Chainsaw Man seems like one of those stories that have been directly inspired by Devilman, so I think it is apt to make this recommendation. Both are stories of a human character who eventually becomes a devil, and must deal with the repercussion having both a human and a devil side. The stories revolve around the dichotomy of being a savior vs an outcast, and have lots of action, blood and gore.

If you liked AD Police add

...then you might like Sin: The Movie add

Police procedurals soaked in a dark and gritty cyberpunk atmosphere. Robots, monsters, car chases, gun fights - you'll find all these things and more in these two action-packed, adrenaline-fueled, hyperviolent OVAs.

If you liked Sin: The Movie add

...then you might like Blade Runner: Black Out 2022 add

Sin seems like one of those pieces of entertainment media inspired by the world and aesthetic of Blade Runner. There's quite a high degree of similarity between a "blade runner", aka a cop who hunts down bioengineered humans called replicants, and John Blade, a cop who hunts down humans bioengineered into monsters, both in neon-lit, corporate-controlled, cyberpunk metropolises. Both anime are action-packed and have similar vibes, so it's worth checking them out if you're a fan of this kind of style.

If you liked Ping Pong the Animation add

...then you might like SK∞ add

Both anime revolve around a group of protagonists, each with their own distinct personalities and issues, but all of them connected by the same sport (skating vs ping pong). Through practicing said sport and competing against each other in a tournament, their perspectives on life change and they evolve as people, which is something that both anime are quite good at depicting.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster add

As Hideaki Anno's first major seminal work, Gunbuster contains many of the themes and ideas that would later shape Evangelion, from character relationships to the hero's journey the main character goes through. Mecha action galore and some food for thought in terms of philosophical musings - you will find both in these anime.

If you liked Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

While both anime seem fun and energetic at first, they both use the tropes of their genre in order to deliver a rumination on time and how it changes people. In both cases, the main characters travel through time in some form, and the anime focus on their experience and how it affects themselves and their relationships to their loved ones. Viewed through this prism, I would say both anime are quite similar.

If you liked Appleseed add

...then you might like AD Police add

Action-packed, buddy cop anime set in futuristic, cyberpunk worlds. They have a similar style and atmosphere, being great examples of a similar era of Japanese animation. Therefore, if you liked one, chances are you might like the other.

If you liked Kekkai Sensen add

...then you might like Dorohedoro add

Both anime have a really similar style of storytelling, combining elements of action, horror, and comedy. Beyond that, they're both set in similarly bizarre dystopian worlds and focus on a wide cast of zany characters.

If you liked JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV) add

...then you might like Dorohedoro add

I think Dorohedoro and the JoJo series are quite similar, not only due to the bizarre circumstances the characters always find themselves in, but also due to the unique way they combine comedy and horror. Colorful art, zany characters, and a thrilling and action-packed story, make these two anime share a similar vibe.

If you liked Dorohedoro add

...then you might like No Guns Life add

I think both anime share a lot of similar elements, starting from the main protagonists, both of whom have a strange head (lizard & gun) and no memory of their past. Secondly, both are set in similar dystopian worlds, with No Guns Life being more sci-fi and Dorohedoro being fantasy.

If you liked AD Police add

...then you might like Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hachi Gakari add

A rather unorthodox suggestion, as Active Raid is more lighthearted while AD Police is darker, but both anime are police procedurals focusing on advanced police units who's job is to deal with technological threats. Both have a futuristic setting and are quite action-packed, although as I mentioned, AD Police is the more mature of the two.

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai add

...then you might like AD Police add

On a surface level, both anime have a similar cyberpunk style and vibe, also talking about similar stories of police forces dealing with robots and technological menaces. On a deeper level, they both deal with the themes of adapting to technology and people striving to find their humanity in an increasingly technological world.

If you liked AD Police add

...then you might like Midnight Eye: Gokuu add

Both anime has a very similar cyberpunk setting and noir vibe. Urban landscapes at night, sex, violence, the dangers of technology - they both represent a similar style and era of animation.

If you liked Kidou Senshi Gundam: Dai 08 MS Shoutai add

...then you might like Obsolete add

Both anime focus on the military and the lives of soldiers, having somewhat grounded depictions of futuristic warfare involving mecha. Lots of military combat action scenes on both sides, and an overall similar vibe.

If you liked Soukou Kihei Votoms add

...then you might like Obsolete add

Both anime are quite similar when it comes to atmosphere and world-building. In both cases, they have somewhat realistic mechs and focus mainly on soldiers and the battlefield, with some nice military combat scenes.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Yuukoku no Moriarty add

Moriarty and Death Note are similar in the fact that both anime focus on main protagonists with noble goals about improving the world, who end up using crime as a means to achieve those goals. In this regard, both anime deal with themes of morals and justice in an interesting and thought-provoking way, avoiding a black-or-white sense of morals in favor of a more nuanced storytelling.

If you liked Naruto add

...then you might like The God of High School add

I think it would be fair to compare The God of High School with Naruto's Chunin Exams arc in many ways. Both anime focus on a competition between students, both have an initial focus on martial arts, which eventually paves the way for characters developing more supernatural powers, and both anime use mythology to derive their concepts from, with Naruto's Tailed Beasts being the most obvious similarity to GoHS's Charyeok system.

If you liked Kami no Tou add

...then you might like The God of High School add

What unites both anime and makes them similar is that they both revolve around some kind of tournament or contest, and the whole story is revolved around it with not much happening outside. Both are action-packed, have some humor, supernatural powers, and keep you guessing which challenges the protagonists are gonna have to face next.

If you liked Dragon Ball add

...then you might like The God of High School add

Both anime revolve around fighting tournaments and martial arts. They're action-packed, have plenty of humor, as well as very similar main protagonists, pretty much giving off the same vibe.

If you liked Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi add

...then you might like Death Parade add

Both anime deal with religious themes, more specifically the idea of "death". "Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi" is preoccupied with the idea of a world in which people cannot be born or die, while "Death Parade" deals with the topic of what happens after death. Both shows are dramatic and relatively thought-provoking, which makes them somewhat similar.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi add

Both anime take a concept that revolves around religion and the macabre and bring it to the level of pulp and entertainment. They both have "death" as the main theme, using it as a vehicle to drive the plot, as well as some more philosophical ideas expressed by the characters.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like Kami no Tou add

Hunter X Hunter is probably the most obvious recommendation if you liked Tower of God and vice versa, mainly because of how similar the Hunter exam and the Tower challenges are. Furthermore, the relationship dynamics between Khun/Bam and Gon/Killua are quite similar.

If you liked Deadman Wonderland add

...then you might like Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation add

Both anime play with the idea of the main character being trapped in a hostile setting: in Danganronpa, the characters are trapped within their school and must kill a classmate to escape, while in Deadman Wonderland the main character is sent to prison. Both anime are dark and bloody, featuring sadistic characters and crazy twists.

If you liked Tekkon Kinkreet add

...then you might like Kaijuu no Kodomo add

Both films are visually impressive and quite artistic, using the medium to its fullest potential to tell stories that are rich in metaphors and symbolism. Furthermore, he dynamics between the characters, namely Sora/Umi and Kuro/Shiro are somewhat similar.

If you liked Omoide no Marnie add

...then you might like Kaijuu no Kodomo add

Both films have this sort of "summer" feeling, as in they're films you'd enjoy on a hot summer day. Also both are films focus on a rather unsociable young girl and her journey of self-discovery, using also fantasy and symbolism to drive the narrative in a "magical realism" kind of way.

If you liked Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi add

...then you might like Kaijuu no Kodomo add

Both are sort of coming-of-age films, following a young girl's journey that is filled with fantasy and mystical elements. Both films have great animation and lots of symbolism.

If you liked Hamatora The Animation add

...then you might like Kekkai Sensen add

Both anime follow the adventures of an organization of super-powered individuals taking various jobs, in a setting that's a mix between the urban and the supernatural. Both have large casts of eccentric characters, as well as similar action, humor and overall atmosphere.

If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Hamatora The Animation add

Both anime have a large cast of zany characters, an urban setting, superpowers and colorful art and animation. Plus, in both cases, there is a large-scale mystery that is slowly uncovered through each episode, layer by layer.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Danganronpa 3: The End of Kibougamine Gakuen - Zetsubou-hen add

I think the idea of despair as presented by Danganronpa is somewhat similar to Higurashi's general feeling. I think both anime have a relatively similar atmosphere, one filled with murders, mysteries and conspiracies; and a generally similar level of edginess and cruelty.
