If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like Giganto Makhia add

Both manga take place in humanity's future where things look bleak. Both feature giants and monsters with very interesting designs and anatomy.

If you liked Animation Seisaku Shinkou Kuromi-chan add

...then you might like Shirobako add

Both of these titles are about anime production. The main characters even share the same positions. They are a great way to learn how anime is made and the interesting "characters" behind it. Animation Runner Kuromi is shorter and bit older (so some of the information is a little out of date) but is a great quick glance into production. Shirobako is a 2 cour series so it goes much more in depth and includes modern techniques like using 3D.

If you liked Sore wo Ittara Oshimaiyo add

...then you might like DOLL: IC in a Doll add

Doll starts out as (mostly) self-contained stories about how humanity interacts with robots and each other, often with Twilight Zone twist endings. The short stories in Don't Say Any More, Darling give the same feeling of stories about humanity and twist endings only with more of a yaoi flavor. The second story in Don't Say Any More Darling (My Eternal Sweetheart) really reminded me of Doll as it was a futuristic story and touching about sexaroids and their creator.

If you liked Crows add

...then you might like Gang King add

Both are stories about high school delinquents whom live on the edges of society and are for the most part good guys who just happen to like to fight a lot. Then have to also deal with the ins and outs of gang politics, less they be beaten down (literally).

If you liked Akuma no Ororon add

...then you might like Akuma na Eros add

In both titles the pure-hearted female lead falls for a handsome and dark man who turns out to be the demon lord of hell who turns her life upside down. Both titles feature that the legions of hell are run by hansom bishonen and fights with heaven's agents. Akuma na Eros is a bit more naughty while The Demon Ororon is a bit more gory and dark.

If you liked Slayers add

...then you might like Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk add

Both of these titles are fantasy with rich detailed worlds and fun characters. Tower of Druaga is over all more serious then The Slayers but it has its share of silly funny episodes. Tower of Druaga is based on a video game series and The Slayers has had video games based on it.

If you liked Kekkou Kamen add

...then you might like Dengeki Oshioki Musume Gootaman: Gootaman Tanjou-hen add

Both of these titles feature bizarre schools, where young female students get kidnapped by the bad guys all the time. Both feature heroines who fight back (and distract) with their bodies quite literally. They also both very wacky, full of parodies, and very ecchi.

If you liked Mazinkaiser add

...then you might like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

On the surface both shows feature über over the top mecha and hot blooded pilots. The mechs even share many similar abilities. (Not surprising since Gurren Lagann was an homage to 70's mecha anime which is where Mazinkaiser has it's roots). They also share some of the same type of stylization in design and animation. Mazinkaiser sticks to it's 1970's roots but does feature a heavy think lined art style much like Gurren Lagann. Both titles have some oddly kinetic and bouncy animation and are very colorful.

If you liked Bastard!! Ankoku no Hakaishin add

...then you might like Bakuen Campus Guardress add

Kazushi Hagiwara is the creator of Bastard!! was very involved with the creation of Bakuen Campus Guardress. Guardress features his character designs of busty babes and virile men. Guardress also features the same perverted sense of humor as Bastard!!

Spring and Chaos is based off of Kenji Miyazawa life, while Night on the Galactic Railroad is based off of one of his works. Both films feature lots of symbolism though out. Also both have a lot of surreal landscapes and moments.

If you liked Ludwig Kakumei add

...then you might like Little Witch's Diary add

Both of these are slightly comedic takes on fairy tales. With a lot of characters playing none typical roles of a fairy tale story. Such as the evil witch being the main character or the prince being vain and narcissistic. Ludwig Revolution is bit darker then Little Witch's Diary though. Both feature some very nice clean art work.

If you liked Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: File Series add

...then you might like Tantei Gakuen Q add

Both titles feature the same artist and are about teen solving mysteries. Though Tantei Gakuen Q features a group working together to solve cases, Kindaichi really only has one person solving the mysteries.

If you liked Versailles no Bara add

...then you might like Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

Rose of Versailles seems an obvious inspiration for Revolutionary Girl Utena. Set in Revolutionary France the main character is a woman raised as a man fulfilling a man's role. Much of the setting from Versailles seems to be the inspiration for the style of Utena.
