If you liked Shelter (Music) add

...then you might like Colours add

Both are music videos with a poignant story that is conveyed through visuals. The stories have nothing in common, but they are both beautiful.

If you liked Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo add

...then you might like Kimi no Na wa. add

Very similar in terms of tone and style. They both involve the MC gaining some kind of supernatural power, which affects how they view relationships, especially who they love. There's a bit of romance, and a bit of sadness, but nothing too intense. At the end, you might be left with a certain longing. If you watch both, you'll notice other similarities, which I won't spoil here.

If you liked Ping Pong the Animation add

...then you might like 3-gatsu no Lion add

These are not normal sports anime which are about who can overcome obstacles and win. Both Ping Pong and 3-gatsu focus more on the humanity of the players who play the game than the game itself. There are lots of fleshed out characters who are not merely players of the game but have some story which relates to their motivations. Smile is psychologically similar to Rei; both players are very talented in their sport but are not passionate about winning.

If you liked Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo add

...then you might like Da Wang Rao Ming add

Modern cultivation setting, with cultivation high school students, where students have graded power levels. Extremely OP MC hides his power from others and has a low grade. MC is not very heroic. Both schools have a similar well-known strong female student who has the "highest" power grades 2D art

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

...then you might like Fruits Basket 1st Season add

The story is different, but both focus on a cast of characters who are struggling with healing after deep trauma in the past, these being more important than the actual plot.

If you liked Meng Qi Shi Shen add

...then you might like Tong Ling Fei add

Similar setting and characters. Main characters have a similar demeanor and use a combination of wits, skills, and charm to improve her situation.

If you liked Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

They have similar style of story telling, with a lot of comedy and similar level of absurdity. There are hypothetical scenes which play out in a character's mind, with lots of exaggeration. Also, the art is kind of similar. Loid looks a lot like Shirogame, and Yor kinda looks like Kaguya.

If you liked Kaiba add

...then you might like Violet Evergarden add

The setting, story, and art style are very different, but they both have some similar themes. These are both short episodic series where the protagonist travels around and learns, through the plight of episodic side characters, what it means to be human. In Violet Evergarden, the MC tries to learn the meaning of love, which she doesn't know because she was raised as a child soldier. In Kaiba, the MC has amnesia. Kaiba is much more of a mindfuck, but both will hit you in the feels, and both have incredible soundtracks.

If you liked Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso add

...then you might like 3-gatsu no Lion add

Both have the same MC. For reals! He suffers from depression after surviving a traumatic childhood. He meets people who help restore his passion for life. Prepare for a hard-hitting, emotional journey.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

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

Both are about confronting grief. Better get your box of tissues.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Gakkou no Kaidan add

If you are watching the ADV dub, expect some ridiculous cringey dialog thrown in. Infamously, Ghost Stories is far more original and adventurous with its dialog. But I can't help but feel that a lot of Elfen Lied was "enhanced" as well.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai add

Bunny Girl Sempai is basically Monogatari, minus the ecchi, minus the subliminal text flashes, minus the avant garde artistic choices, minus the violent fight scenes, with a somewhat less perverted and more faithful MC and a much nicer, less psycho girlfriend.

If you liked Ergo Proxy add

...then you might like Hei Men add

I'm not sure how it will pan out, but at least the early episodes of Hei Men have more than a bit of Ergo Proxy vibes. We've got: cyberpunk setting, AI, mysterious events caused by strange failings of technology creating cracks in society, investigator looking into the mysteries only brings about more questions than answers, with the government seeming to put up roadblocks, and unreliable viewpoint, bringing plenty of confusion.

If you liked Yuru Camp△ add

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

Both will inspire you to get outside and go on an adventure. Yorimoi has a plot which progresses from beginning to end, while Yuru Camp just keeps it camping.

If you liked Uchuu Kyoudai add

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

Both have people striving to explore distant places that very few people will ever have the chance to visit. Indeed, these are incredible achievements not just for the explorers but humanity as a whole. It's about dreaming big, and making big steps to achieve that dream. And perhaps learning something about yourself in the struggle. Yorimoi is a more condensed story, focusing on friendship and drama, with a somewhat broken cast. Space Brothers is much longer and more grounded in realism. And the journey is far more competitive. Watch it if you are in it for the long haul. In the time it takes to get to Antarctica, you haven't even gotten to the starting line for the Moon.

If you liked Kimi no Na wa. add

...then you might like Shiguang Dailiren add

Both have someone possessing the body of someone else. Both focus on the emotional aspects of the story. The plot of the basketball arc of Shiguang Dailiren shares a lot in common with Kimi no Na wa.

If you liked Psycho-Pass add

...then you might like Hei Men add

Both involve futuristic investigators who look into some mysteries. There is a big-brother level system which allows investigators to look into the brain state of people on a mass level. Nevertheless, there are mysteries which are beyond the capabilities of the investigating organizations. Loyalties are tested as individuals take things into their own hands. What are they going to uncover?

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai add

...then you might like Hei Men add

From what I can tell so far (5 ep into Hei Men), they both have similar settings and philosophical conundrums. Computer-brain interfaces exist which allows agents to dive into other people's brains. In Hei Men, things start off with a bus accident(?) in which the participants were found to be in a strange brain state. Things are a mystery to the audience. There are multiple factions investigating, but neither trusts another. There are hints of a mysterious adversary. Is it human?

If you liked Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

Both bring together a pseudo family of sorts out of unrelated super-powered (except Kobayashi) individuals. The adults need to take care of a small child who is trying to fit into school. Both are comedies that use over-the-top situations. The families try to fit into society while keeping their nature secret. Spy x Family is more plot-oriented, whereas Dragon Maid is more slice of life. Both have super dodgeball.

If you liked Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

...then you might like Shiguang Dailiren add

Both are thrillers which often end the episodes in cliffhangers. There are similarities in both the story and the feel. Both involve a supernatural time travel mechanic. In ERASED, the MC inhabits himself from an earlier time, whereas in Link Click, the MC inhabits someone else. In either case, they try to accomplish something in the limited time they have in the past, but need to stay in character to avoid sticking out too much. They both have stealth, sleuthing, planning, and friendship. There are heartwarming moments, and danger moments. Compared to ERASED, Link Click is more episodic, with some arcs lasting 1-3 episodes, with guest characters who go away. Link Click is better overall, but ERASED is very good.

If you liked Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing add

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

Big space battles are decided by the actions of several key individuals. Soldiers have to change their allegiances as the political situation changes during successive wars. War seems endless as factions are replaced in coups. Blurring between protagonist and antagonist.

If you liked Shokugeki no Souma add

...then you might like Meng Qi Shi Shen add

Both are about cooking, and show preparations of luscious foods. Both contain cooking contests. Shokugeki has fanservice, while Meng Qi Shi Shen has manservice (though to a much lesser degree than Shokugeki) The story structure isn't very similar though.

If you liked Meng Qi Shi Shen add

...then you might like Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

A woman dies and gets isekai'ed into the body of a girl in a fantasy world, and has to depend on her wits and skills from her past life to make a life for herself. In Ascendance of a Bookworm, she happens to be an aspiring librarian with a passion for books and a knack for sales, whereas in Meng Qi Shi Shen, she's an award winning young chef. In Ascendance, the setting is a medieval European style fantasy with magic, while in Shi Shen, the setting is ancient China. In either setting, life is difficult, either born into a frail body to a poor plebeian family in a society dominated by magic wielding nobles, or being kidnapped by bandits and forced into marriage. Nevertheless, they are able to advance in their world through knowledge from the modern world or through their cooking skills. Being isekai'ed isn't going to stop them from pursuing their dream of being a librarian, or a world renown chef.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Psycho-Pass add

Both involve vigilante justice. These both raise the philosophical questions: Is it acceptable to kill bad guys in an extrajudicial manner? Is it acceptable to kill innocents if it means protecting more people? Psycho-Pass goes somewhat further: What kind of government/system can legitimize killing as a means of justice? Is it acceptable to use violence to overthrow a corrupt system? Both involve a cat and mouse game between a criminal and detectives. But Death Note is more of a thriller, while Psycho-pass is more action focused.

If you liked Nichijou add

...then you might like Xiao Lu He Xiao Lan add

Both are a collection of loosely connected and short gag skits. There are many one-off jokes, but also some recurring settings develop a small semblance of plot. They explore mundane life through an absurd lens. Both explore the endearing relationship between a very human-like robot and their creator. It's all very endearing. Most of it is lighthearted, though Xiao Lu he Xiao Lan can get pretty heavy-hearted during long episodes.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Psycho-Pass add

Both are in grim worlds where an excess of negative emotions can turn a friend into an enemy. Both are written by Gen the Butcher.
