...then you might like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso add

Bespectacled protagonist with an immense talent struggles to actually be able to use it. Two main characters must brave the gulf that has started in between them. Both protagonists are sympathetic and wonderfully designed.

If you liked Katanagatari add

...then you might like Monogatari Series: Second Season add

The two best adaptations of Nisio Isin's work. The studios did not let overpowering writing stop them from creating absolutely wonderful sensory atmospheres that led to groundbreaking tales about love, storytelling, and moving on.

If you liked Hanamonogatari add

...then you might like Yuri Kuma Arashi add

Two beautiful and colorful high school yuri stories. They present themselves in super unique ways and end with an amazing catharsis. Yes, Hanamonogatari is a sequel, but the shows it's a sequel to are worth watching and share YKA's non-standard presentation and unique style of fanservice.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Shinseiki Evangelion add

Both names that come up when people mention must-see anime classics. Compelling post-apocalyptic sci-fi settings that blend episodic plots with brilliant character development. In the whole, they form a story about human connection and the importance of embracing the world that you live in.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Yuri Kuma Arashi add

Two allegorical shows that use the lives of high school girls to portray systematic problems in society. Full of wonderful pink, absurd humor, and a dark side that leaves you unsure how to take the end of things, these are Ikuhara's two lecture shows.

If you liked Inferno Cop add

...then you might like One Punch Man add

When you watch a story, you want to see its hero struggle right? But sometimes, there are those stories where the hero fighting isn't the struggle, it's the world around him. Inferno Cop and Saitama never have to worry about losing a fight, but the absurd ways that the world treats them is what drives the humor and wonder of these shows.

If you liked Gatchaman Crowds add

...then you might like Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou add

Both colorful, beautifully composed modern takes on the superhero genre. But rather than stay within their genre, these shows are full of self-reflection and analysis of society. Their ratings aren't high, but if you enjoy one you need to see the other.

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Kekkai Sensen add

Supernatural happenings going on in early 20th century New York. Both shows have great jazz-influenced soundtracks and plots that are interesting but hard to track.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

People usually use Eva as an example of symbolism, but when it comes down to it, Eva's imagery is usually consistent with the rules of the world it takes place in. Utena and FLCL take symbolism to another level. These are both shows where the environment does not play by the rules of the plot. You don't know what you're going to see next with these shows. Utena and FLCL's style is true mind screw.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Kekkai Sensen add

Have you been waiting to see a show where literally anything can happen? A show that can entertain and amuse in the strangest of ways? Kekkai Sensen is 2015's FLCL.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

In both Bakemonogatari and Utena, the environment is alive. You see things happen that wouldn't happen in real life, and the fourth wall tends to be covered in paint. While on the surface they both have simple plots, exorcism and sword-fighting, the actual focus of the series are on the characters' emotions and backstories.

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Durarara!! add

Adapted from novels by the same author, Baccano! and Durarara!! are series about supernatural events affecting gangs; one is about gangs in 1930s New York, the other is about gangs in modern day Japan. There's a similar sense of humor and interesting use of larger-than-life characters.

If you liked Angel Beats! add

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

If you like sad character drama, Anohana gives some of the best.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Kill la Kill add

Similar art styles and whackiness make Kill la Kill a must-try for FLCL fans.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

If you want another psychological anime that doesn't adhere to its genre and contains a bunch of symbolism, Revolutionary Girl Utena is the one. Like Eva, it has budget constraints on it, which cause it to be repetitive, but you could skip through things, or just see them as thinking breaks. You'll need a break to think.
