If you liked Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete add

...then you might like Renai Flops add

These works explore AI that have gained humanlike consciousness and the ramifications of such. The subject has a portrayal that skews positive in regards to both tone and narrative.

If you liked Ryuu no Haisha add

...then you might like Hisone to Maso-tan add

Hisone to Maso-tan and Ryuu no Haisha, for starters, both focus on humans and dragons coexisting with each other and what that dynamic entails in their respective stories. While both shows have a healthy dose of action elements, if you like anime with a chill atmosphere, they both have it in ample sums as well. Moreover, if you enjoyed the candid, "daily routine" elements either one established, the other could be up your alley.

If you liked Kenran Butou Sai: The Mars Daybreak add

...then you might like Suisei no Gargantia add

Kenran Butou Sai: The Mars Daybreak and Suisei no Gargantia both have a unique blend of industrial and nautical elements in their respective settings which give off similar vibes. If you wanted to see more of that type of setting after watching one, I would suggest checking out the other, as it does a good job to scratch that itch.

If you liked Nisemonogatari add

...then you might like Sakurada Reset add

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it a duck? This question is posed (albeit in different forms) in both Nisemonogatari and Sakurada Reset, which affects their respective characters and overall narrative.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha add

...then you might like Granbelm add

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha and Granbelm are both magical girl shows, so, as one would expect, they have a number of similarities corresponding to the sub-genre. That being said, I've paired these specific shows together not only because interpersonal combat is given a lot of emphasis in both, but the protagonist of Granbelm and the deuteragonist of Nanoha both go through similar arcs relating to identity. So, if you enjoyed those aspects in one show, the other could be worth checking out.

If you liked Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever add

...then you might like Canaan add

Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever and Canaan both involve their respective leads having to stop a terrorist plot, while reigniting childhood friendships and coming to terms with what made them who they are. Interestingly, albeit ultimately of little importance, they both feature China as a setting in some capacity (it's central to Canaan but only brief scenes in TH: SSF). I think if you liked the setup and pacing of one, you might find the other worth your time; I would say Canaan is the more developed of the two (the longer total runtime definitely helps) but Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever is worthwhile as a quick, low-investment watch if that's your thing.

If you liked Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda add

...then you might like Planet With add

Zvezda and Planet With both have a particular flavor of quirky, off-the-wall comedy combined with a fun action plot that lends itself to a series of hilarious and heartfelt moments thanks to their respective colorful cast of characters. Because of this, if you have watched one and like what you saw, I believe the other one is likely to be up your alley.

If you liked Akatsuki no Yona OVA add

...then you might like Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou add

People who do not age, who do not die. And yet, everyone around them does. This premise is explored in the Yona OVA (hot springs episode notwithstanding) and SayoAsa, where immortal beings form an intimate relationship with a normal, mortal person. The way in which it is handled in both works are a bit different, but they invoke a similar flavor of bittersweetness.

If you liked Vandread add

...then you might like Sol Bianca add

If you want an anime with a group of elite space pirates comprised completely of women, look no further than either Vandread or Sol Bianca. Vandread has men join the crew at the beginning however, and has quite a light-hearted/comedic tone, although that's not to say Sol Bianca is dead serious either. If old-school OVAs are your thing, you can't go wrong with Sol Bianca, and if you want brighter colors and don't mind dated 3DCG, Vandread may interest you.

If you liked Wellber no Monogatari: Sisters of Wellber Zwei add

...then you might like Appare-Ranman! add

Appare-Ranman! and Wellber no Monogatari: Sisters of Wellber Zwei both explore themes of revenge with supporting character Hototo (Appare) and main character Tina (Wellber), with an almost identical setup for their motivation: their parents were killed in front of them when they were younger by an unidentified man with the only clue as to his identity being a tattoo of an animal, so they set off in search of him to get revenge. If you enjoy stories with themes about revenge either would be worth watching.

If you liked Wellber no Monogatari: Sisters of Wellber add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Yona add

Both of these shows follow a similar narrative structure where a sheltered princess runs away, with the help of a colorful cast of guardians, from her kingdom that has turned on her. Additionally, on her journey, she discovers the pains of war spread throughout her country that she was previously not privy to. Akatsuki no Yona has a traditional Korean setting, whereas Wellber no Monogatari has a vaguely 19th century European influence with very light fantasy and steampunk elements. If you want a self-contained story, Wellber would be worth the watch; on the other hand, if you're in the mood for a longer story and don't mind reading manga, Yona might be up your alley.

If you liked Ibara no Ou add

...then you might like A.I.C.O. Incarnation add

A.I.C.O.: Incarnation and Ibara no Ou fall into similar veins, being Sci-Fi/light survival horror thrillers that center around a girl and a mysterious all-encompassing life-form born from a virus. If the mystery elements and themes of science gone awry were appealing in one title, the other may be worth checking out.

If you liked Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster add

...then you might like Kuuchuu Gunkan Atlantis add

Kuuchuu Gunkan Atlantis is a short film that takes quite a bit of visual inspiration from Gunbuster. While the former was released in 2019 and not affiliated with Gainax, it still captures that older Gainax style found in Gunbuster.

If you liked Kidou Senshi Gundam add

...then you might like Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen add

If Mobile Suit Gundam is "Military Unit Fights to Survive With the Help of a Big White Robot Amidst a War Stalemate in Space," then Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen is "Military Unit Fights to Survive With the Help of a Big White Robot Amidst a War Stalemate on Earth." (Although I suppose Argevollen might actually be silver considering the title of the show, but I digress.) I personally think both shows strike a good balance between mecha action and the struggles of war both on the battlefield and behind the scenes in the government quite well. Alongside this, the dynamic between the protagonist and one of the antagonists is quite similar (Amuro and Char from Gundam and Tokimune and Richthofen from Argevollen) where a rookie pilot who is thrust the responsibility of using a state-of-the-art mech clashes with an ace pilot from the opposing military whose experience surpasses the need to rely on a machine with the best current technology.

If you liked Kyousou Giga (TV) add

...then you might like Zoku Owarimonogatari add

From a conceptual level, Kyousou Giga and Zoku Owarimonogatari take place in a "mirror world." If you are interested in stories focused around the peculiarities of a mirror dimension and its relationship to the protagonist, either of these anime may be worth checking out (although if you've watched Kyousou Giga first and are looking into Zoku Owarimonogatari, it would probably behoove you to watch the shows within the Monogatari series preceding Zoku in order to have context to the characters and plot.) Additionally, alongside having a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor and characters and settings with supernatural traits, the themes of both are uplifting, so neither are particularly dark.

If you liked Aggressive Retsuko (ONA) add

...then you might like Ueno-san wa Bukiyou add

Both of these shows have rather short episodes revolving around a single joke that applied to different situations: Retsuko and her secret hobby using death metal karaoke to destress and Ueno's cornucopia of different inventions to win her crush's heart. Despite this, both series have a sense of progression where events in past episodes are referenced. If you enjoyed the simple premise and slapstick yet heartening nature of one, it's likely the other would be worth your time.

If you liked Terra e... add

...then you might like Dallos add

If you're in the mood for a relatively grim space opera from the early 1980s, then Dallos and Terra e... are two anime that fit the bill and would be worth your time to watch if you enjoyed one of them already. Both series entail humans leaving earth due to its resources being depleted, and being unable to return years later due to discrimination from other humans. In Dallos and in Terra e... there are people on both sides of the conflict wanting peace, but this becomes extremely difficult due to the atrocities of war. If you're looking for a bleaker story with a sliver of hope, Dallos or Terra e... may be for you.

If you liked Iria: Zeiram The Animation add

...then you might like Black Magic M-66 add

Black Magic M-66 and Iria: Zeiram The Animation have multiple similarities; if you enjoyed one in its old anime OVA glory, then the other might be a worthwhile watch for you. Both feature a strong-willed woman as its protagonist, and a villain of unknown origin that is extremely difficult to subdue and chases the protagonist around each respective anime's setting. They also share a small amount of 80s/90s cheeky humor here and there as well. If you're into old sorta campy anime, these two go together well.

If you liked Bounen no Xamdou add

...then you might like Fuse: Teppou Musume no Torimonochou add

While not explicitly similar in terms of plot and setting, if you enjoyed watching Bounen no Xamdou or Fuse: Teppou Musume no Torimonochou and want to watch something that has a similar essence, then you will likely enjoy the other. On a surface level, both were directed by Masayuki Miyaki; the art styles are very similar, and so is the music, as both titles had Micheru Oshima write the soundtrack. As for overarching themes, they both have motifs regarding connecting people with one another, visually represented through mail letters. Not only that, another prominent theme present is that all life is valuable whether it be human or beast. In short, if you are a fan of the Ghibli-esque visuals with unique heartwarming narratives one of these titles may be for you.
