If you liked Higashi no Eden add

...then you might like Zankyou no Terror add

Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden) is a show about the nature of changing a flawed society. Are terrorists freedom fighters, attempting to change a world that is asymmetrically stacked against the common man? Are they villains, completely unable to see the error of their ways? Is it possible to even change a world where power is so asymmetrically distributed to the rich? What if a few common people where given the money to affect real change, without any limitations? Both shows have moralistic questions regarding terrorism and the ways in which we can change a flawed world, but Eden of the East's messaging is much less heavy handed than that of Terror in Resonance. It is also a far brighter show, having many moments of romance and everyday life weaved into its suspenseful main plot. Both shows feature drama, conspiracy and mystery, and difficult romances, but Eden of the East is definitely longer, and has more time to tell its story in a more even way. If you like Terror in Resonance, you would probably love Eden of the East, a show I consider a modern masterpiece.

If you liked 20th Century Boys add

...then you might like Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction add

20th century boys is a classic manga that focuses on a massive conspiracy that affects every part of society. It is a smart, sophisticated manga that brilliantly mixes highly serious and relatable moments with funny and sometimes entirely unrealistic fantasy, and really paved the way for a lot of modern seinen manga. Dead Dead Demons is similar in that it contains heavy, grounded, and serious subject matter in a similarly conspiratorial and clever style, but also does so with irony, sarcasm, and often absurdist humor. Both manga also feature heavily detailed and artistic sets and worlds, yet both have a very cartoony, almost whimsical art style when it comes to their characters. When reading DDDDD for the first time, I couldn't help but to constantly think back on 20th Century Boys, and I think Inio Asano was definitely inspired by the classic manga.

If you liked Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 add

...then you might like Guilty Crown add

Guilty Crown obviously took inspiration from CG in terms of mech design, the "magic" elements that affect the power of the MC (the kings power and the code geass power), as well as both shows having high-school settings, involving terrorism, and also having significant drama and mystery elements to them. They also both feature characters that skirt the line between moral and immoral actions, having to decide how best to move forward with their goals and protect the people they love in a world full of conspiracy and corruption.

Mysterious plot, with the "Terrorists" actually being the "good guys", Conspiracy in high levels of government, Tragedy and some very tear jerking moments, make these anime similar at a sort of surface level. Zankyou had a far more serious, experimental and dreamy vibe to it, whereas Guilty Crown has much more fan service and typical anime troupes. Both can be catagorized in the "emo-terrorists with psychiatric issues" category that I literally just made up.

If you liked Kara no Kyoukai Movie 1: Fukan Fuukei add

...then you might like Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi add

Kara No Kyoukai and Mnemosyne are similar in that they are both very experimental, mature, and often time very dark and mysterious. They both have stories based around time manipulation, albeit, in entirely different ways, with Kara being a non-linear, out of order story, and Mnemosyne being a story that traverses many generations and decades in time. Both have strong female lead protagonists (who also double as somewhat of antagonists, depending on how you look at it), with odd partnerships throughout. These two are some of the most beautiful looking animes available, as well- With Kara really taking the lead in the animation department. If you are an adult anime watcher, look no further than these two marvelously brutal, philosophical, and psychologically deep shows.

If you liked Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs 2nd Season add

Both shows have a tight knit family of friends who have to fight to survive as part of an agency of sorts. Both shows have esper and supernatural elements and have a perfect mix of darkness, sarcasm, and lighter humor. Both shows are relatively short, but have interesting stories that are occasionally shrouded in mystery, and both shows focus on character development by way of flashbacks and history. The second season of Bungo, which is fairly highly regarded, actually reminded me a lot of The Unlimited, which came out a few years before, but is criminally under rated and largely forgotten. If you liked Bungo, but wished it was less of a Shounen fighter and more story based, then The Unlimited is for you.
