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

...then you might like Golden Kamuy add

Both are historical adventure series based on acclaimed manga series that while action packed and goofy, are not afraid to get violent and bloody. The heroes in both are daring and clever (Sugimoto is essentially a synthesis of Jonathan and Joseph), and the villains in both are crazy insane.

If you liked Aldnoah.Zero add

...then you might like Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou add

Similar premise and setting: an ongoing war between an imperialistic galactic monarchy and a democratic military allaince, set in the distant future. Also, both sides feature military prodigies who become fierce rivals with each other.

If you liked Stranger: Mukou Hadan add

...then you might like Golden Kamuy add

Both Stranger and Kamuy follow a typical escort-mission scenario, wherein the warrior (Nanashi, a ronin and Sugimoto, an ex-soldier) work with an orphan (Kotarou and Asirpa) to traverse historical Japan (Sengoku Era and Meiji Era) on a journey, all the while evading corrupt villains (the Chinese militia and the Hokkaido 7th Division). Other similar aspects include gritty, realistic violence and gore, such as dismemberment and torture.

If you liked Princess Principal add

...then you might like Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online add

Gun-toting lolis as done by Studio 3Hz.

If you liked Gundam Build Fighters add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

Both are shonen battle anime set in a near-future society that is based on a single pop-culture phenomenon (Superheroes for MHA, Gunpla models for GBF). Both are directed by Kenji Nagasaki, so expect the same amount of heart, action, and sense of humor n both. Also, the soundtracks for each are also composed by Yuki Hayashi, so you'll feel pretty pumped up are the songs kick in.

If you liked B: The Beginning add

...then you might like Tokyo Ghoul:re add

Both anime are police procedurals mixed with horror-action.

If you liked Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou add

...then you might like Kidou Senshi Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 add

Both Galactic Heroes and Gundam Unicorn are epic space operas featuring sprawling intergalactic battles between two large scale military factions. Because of the similar settings and premise, along with both boasting high production values, watching one reminded me of the other.

If you liked Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun add

...then you might like Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai add

TL;DR: TadaKoi is essentially Nozaki-kun 2.0, a spiritual sequel if you will. The same studio and staff who worked on Nozaki-kun also worked on TadaKoi, but the similarities go deeper. Besides sharing a similar art style and genre, the male leads of each show share the same voice actor (Yuichi Nakamura voices both Nozaki and Tada). Also, the OPs are performed by the same artist (Masayoshi Oishi), and the EDs are performed by the voice actresses of the female lead for each show (Ari Ozawa for Nozaki-kun and Manaka Iwami for TadaKoi).

If you liked Redline add

...then you might like Megalo Box add

TL;DR: Megalobox and Redline share loosely similar premises, characters and settings, so if you like one, the other should satisfy you as well. JP and JD are both underdogs and outcasts in their respective futuristic sports (racing and boxing), participating in fixed races or matches for money. But they both aspire to prove themselves in their sports by making it into high-stakes competitions (the Redline race and Megalonia tournament, respectively).

If you liked Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki add

...then you might like Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari add

Being a parent is hard, especially when your kid is a human-animal hybrid. But its all worth it when you realize how cute they look in those ears.

If you liked Samurai Champloo add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Hip-hop/rap plays an important role in both series. Whether its to provide exposition on story events, provide character background, or contribute to a great soundtrack, the incorporation of rap and hip-hop beats is pulled off to great effect. Also Masaaki Yuasa has worked on both, so his trademark animation style can be found throughout.

If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

...then you might like Mazinger Z Movie: Infinity add

What's there to say? Mazinger Z is the OG super-robot anime, so naturally there will be similarities between the two. -Over-the-top mecha battle sequences culminating in climactic and potentially world-ending showdowns between the heroes and villains -Quirky characters with an equally quirky sense of humor -Similar cast of human characters

If you liked Mazinger Z Movie: Infinity add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Both Devilman: Crybaby and Mazinger Z: Infinity are modern renditions of Go Nagai's classic works for his 50th Anniversary Despite the VASTLY different approaches to tone and animation style, what they do share in common is over-the-top action, apocalyptic climaxes, and fantastical character designs.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Poputepipikku add

Both utilize wacky character hijinks, absurd meta-humor and slap-stick comedy as told through varied animation styles. Also, you will leave each episode thinking to yourself, "WTF did I just watch?"

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

A boy has a run in with a promiscuous, manic-pixie dream-girl with pink hair in this manic coming-of-age story with sexual undertones as told in bombastic, over-the-top anime action sequences.

If you liked Soul Eater add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Young people are teamed up in male-female pairs to battle the forces of evil. Both Darling and Soul Eater explore the dynamics between these types of partnerships.

If you liked Amaama to Inazuma add

...then you might like Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan add

Both series are about families and friends cooking and eating together. They also both create a light, fluffy and warm-hearted atmosphere that soothes the soul.

If you liked Gakkou no Kaidan add

...then you might like Itou Junji: Collection add

Both are horror series with tinges of black comedy (intentional or otherwise).

If you liked Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou add

...then you might like Poputepipikku add

The common factors uniting these two anime: meta-humor, absurdity, gags, the use short skits in lieu af a plot, clever use of shoddy editing and subpar animation for comedic effect.

If you liked Suisei no Gargantia add

...then you might like Hakumei to Mikochi add

The fantasy world of Hakumei & Michiko seems very similar to that on board the Gargantia. Both utilize bright and rich color palettes used to depict lively seaside markets which is home to a wide range of diverse characters.

If you liked Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

...then you might like Hakumei to Mikochi add

Two moe-blob girls live their lives together in a well-built, lived-in fantasy world. Each episode is split into 2+ parts, each featuring different events from their daily lives. Both have relaxing atmospheres, adorable character designs, and beautiful OSTs.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san add

A slice-of-life set in school, the titular female character has the main male costar wrapped around her finger. She is manipulative and always getting what she wants at his expense.

If you liked Amaama to Inazuma add

...then you might like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

A high school girl with long black hair grows closer to an older single-father with a young child in a comfortable restaurant setting. While Sweetness & Lightning keeps the relationship between its main characters close but ambiguous (does she have feelings for him?), After the Rain explores the potential romance between them.

If you liked Death Parade add

...then you might like Mahoutsukai no Yome add

The main thread that ties Magus Bride and Death Parade together is the dynamic between the two leads of each series. For one, the male leads (Decim of Death Parade and Elias of Magus Bride) are both tall, stoic, imposing, otherworldly and otherwise well-dressed figures. Being immortal, neither of them can comprehend human emotion and show very little of it themselves (one has a bone-face so he can't help it). However, they are rounded out by their respective female counterparts. Both Chiyuki in Death Parade and Chise in Magus Bride serve as assistants to their respective male counterparts. Because both are mortal and new to the worlds in which they are introduced, Decim and Elias serve as their mentors, respectively. However, the gentlemen themselves may have something to learn from the ladies about what it means to be human. Other common factors between the two are somber themes dealing with death and depression, beautiful artwork, lovely soundtracks, and a colorful cast of secondary characters.

If you liked Steins;Gate add

...then you might like Kokkoku add

Both are science-fiction thrillers about time manipulation where the main characters (who both have an affinity for white lab coats, for some reason) are on the run from a shadowy organization. While Steins;Gate leans heavily on hard sci-fi to explain away its time-travel mechanics, Kokkoku takes a more fantastical and mystical approach.

If you liked Gintama° add

...then you might like Kokkoku add

Ok, not a perfect recommendation, but listen up. The first two episodes of Gintama's fourth season use a similar premise to Kokkoku. In both, the main characters find themselves in a world frozen in time where they are able to roam freely while everyone else is motionless.

If you liked Hanasaku Iroha add

...then you might like Sora yori mo Tooi Basho add

You like cute girls? You like it when cute girls are finding themselves and working hard to pursue their dreams in the spirit of youth? Then you will enjoy both of these series. On top of the similar themes, both series also feature a female dominant cast with adorable character designs and animation, and beautiful photo-realistic backgrounds set in a real-world environment.

If you liked Inuyashiki add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

What is humanity? Is it the body that makes a human, or the soul? These questions are addressed in both Devilman: Crybaby and Inuyashiki, and to great effect. First, getting the obvious out of the way: both Devilman and Inuyashiki are adaptations of manga featuring characters that early-on are changed into beings with superhuman abilities. Then these characters use their new-found abilities to save people, all the while trying to prove they have maintained a semblance of their humanity. Later on, the hero faces off against the villain who is their polar opposite. In addition, they share similar themes that explore the dark side of human nature. At one point in both series, society is crumbling from acts of violence, mass hysteria, and apocalyptic events (both shows are NOT for the faint of heart). On a final note, both Devilman and Inuyashiki explore moral grey areas. For example, the antagonists in each respective series are powerful sociopaths with their own motivations, and serve as perfect foils to the protagonists

If you liked Gintama' add

...then you might like Poputepipikku add

Meta-humor and absurdity abound in both Gintama and Pop Team Epic. They both make references to other anime, call out their own anime production staff in the middle of the show, and rely heavily on sight-gags and slapstick for the comedy.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

In a post-apocalyptic world, humanity is beset against monstrous, other-worldly creatures who attack their fortified cities. The only hope for mankind's survival against these terrible threats are mecha, which can only be piloted by children. Why? Because its ANIME, that's why!! The pilots are always whiney little children! Seriously though, Eva and Darling are very similar in more ways than one. Besides setting and premise, even the main male leads of both are sad wet blankets, and the female leads are battle-hardened ace pilots who wear red skin-tight suits.
