If you liked K-On! add

...then you might like Natsu-iro Kiseki add

Four teenager girls with different personalities, a dream of playing in a band, and slice of life. Natsuiro has more fantasy and K-On is more school-life oriented but both are pretty similar.

If you liked Hanada Shounen-shi add

...then you might like Natsume Yuujinchou add

These series are just two of a kind, dealing with the ghosts, life-after death and family themes. Hanada Shonen-shi is more visually explicit, more complex, more parodic and globally aimed towards a more mature audience despite the age of its main character, while Natsume is more of a conventional slice-of-life/comedy with traditional but great characters. Both are equally good, but Hanada Shonen-shi deserves to be known better. If you liked Natsume, you definitely have to check out Hanada.

If you liked Jinki:Extend add

...then you might like Shikabane Hime: Aka add

Both anime are directed by Gilgamesh's Masahiko Murata, and thus share the dark-shonen genre, with Jinki:Extend being more mecha-oriented. They also share a lot of themes, the same script structure and have the same kinds of characters. While obviously not being exempt of defaults, I would say that both series are heavily underrated and if you can overlook their over the top plot as well as sloppy artistry and animation, you're in for two surprisingly enjoyable shows.

If you liked Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu add

...then you might like Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo add

Both written by Toshiki Tanaka, Yakushiji Ryoko no Kaiko Jikenbo and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu share a lot of similarities as far are characters and stories are concerned. The themes are pretty much alike too, and even if the settings are very different (space opera and modern-day Tokyo...), we can still feel the distinctive Tanaka touch in each of them, and the scripts are developped on the same pattern. If you liked one, you'll probably like the other.

If you liked Planetes add

...then you might like Vinland Saga add

Written by the same author, they have the exact same character design and character development and stories are somewhat similar even though the settings are really different.

If you liked Kemonozume add

...then you might like Kaiba add

Same director, therefore both anime have a similar atmosphere, character-design, art style, set of characters, plot etc... Those series are pretty much alike.

If you liked Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer add

...then you might like Twilight Q add

The script and themes of "File 538" (second OVA of Twilight Q) and Beautiful dreamer are practically identical. In fact, Mamoru Oshii directed both in the mid-80's and we can see that they are clearly related.

If you liked Seikai no Monshou add

...then you might like Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu add

Two of the best space-opera anime ever created. Both are heavily focused on a gigantic war, politics, and have a large set of characters (even though the Sekai series are more focused on the Jinto/Lafiel relationship). Both are also adapted from best-selling novels.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Ookami to Koushinryou add

Both shows have a similar pace and main character. Moreover, they are episodic anime about the mysteries of nature (and incarnations of nature too !).

If you liked Wolf's Rain add

...then you might like Ookami to Koushinryou add

Really similar atmospheres of drama and mystery, and of course, the fact that both revolve around wolves in human form.

If you liked Zettai Shounen add

...then you might like Futatsu no Spica add

These series have very similar paces, themes and settings, and they are both directed by Tomomi Mochizuki. I just felt exactly the same when I watched Futatsu No Shonen and Zettai Spica (huhu), all in all, very close series.

If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e add

Both directed by Kazuki Akane, and they have pretty much the same atmosphere and space-travel setting. Some characters bear a lot of similarities too.
