If you liked BNA add

...then you might like Odd Taxi add

The first rather obvious point is the character designs in both these shows are animals, and animated with a flat style. If you liked Michiru stumbling into the underlying crime/mystery in Anima City from BNA, you'd like Odd Taxi. Like Anima City, Odd Taxi has more realistic crime mystery just in the background which the main character is trying to stay out of. BNA leans more into action and melodrama, while Odd Taxi leans into wry humor mystery.

If you liked Servant x Service add

...then you might like Sakura Quest add

Both these animes are about young people working for their city's government. Most the characters are earnest though there is slice of life comedy. Nice to have some shows about regular people in there mid-late twenties.

If you liked Uchouten Kazoku add

...then you might like BNA add

The protagonists are both Tanukis. Michiru definitely would fit in with Eccentric Families cast. She also has the Shimogamo fool blood with the attitude of "A fun thing is a good thing!" Both these shows have colorful expressive animation.

If you liked Little Witch Academia (TV) add

...then you might like BNA add

Akko and Michiru are both fish out of water with genki girl personalities. They try to become friends with all they encounter. These shows also obviously share studio as well as director and a script writer.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like NieA Under 7 add

Though Ed is a human who recently left earth and NieA is an alien living in a small town they are very similar characters. They have a similar character design and move in the same loose not as realistic manner. They both kinda just do what they want to and think is fun; in contrast to a more serious grounded cast. Both Ed and NieA insert themselves into the lives of their other castmates. NieA just by deciding to live in Mayu's closet and Ed by tricking then blackmailing the crew of the Bebop.

If you liked Trigun add

...then you might like Cannon Busters add

Both these shows start out in a scifi desert/wildwest setting. They start out with similar wacky outlandish episodic episodes. Vash and Philly the kid are both immortals with bounties on their heads traveling from town to town unable to avoid trouble. They are also trailed by two female/(female-voiced robot) companions whom they initially view as pain but later regard more as friends.

If you liked Sakura Quest add

...then you might like Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

Both of these shows revolve around coworkers. The casts are sweet and colorful while being grounded and relatable. Wotakoi focuses more on the characters romance life outside of work, while in Sakura Quest the characters get to know each other better while on the job.

If you liked Pokemon Sun & Moon add

...then you might like Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari add

The villains in A Last Period are like Jesse and James combined with Team Skull. Kinda like Pokemon the villains are lovable comic relief. Both shows are closely based off of a game but make up their own plot.

If you liked Stranger: Mukou Hadan add

...then you might like Dororo add

They both are set in the same time period. They portray a very dark and violent view of this era and boost fantastic fights. The main characters of both series seem to have a similar dynamic with a more talkative 10 year old boy and a quieter badass. Both shows also involve one of the duo being sacrificed to a demon. In Sword of the Stanger, No Name is protecting the kid from being sacrificed, while in Dororo, Hyakkimaru has already been sacrificed.

If you liked Log Horizon add

...then you might like Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken add

Both series are isekai's that have the protagonist building a civilization from the ground up. Log Horizon is a true transported to a video game while Slime's world is more a pure fantasy world. They are both animated in a super G rated style. The action is fun, but not long or graphic.

If you liked Fate/Zero add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

Same director, grand magical battles in the real world with complicated magical mechanics. There is no plot armor, there is a large cast and people will die!

If you liked Kyousou Giga (TV) add

Both are colorful beautifully animated adventures stuffed full of creativity and sakuga centering around the the journey and friendship of the leading girls.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Planet With add

This series contains similar WTF factors as FLCL. It follows a boy living with an alien maid and giant cat who is his sensie, no explanation given, no explanation given. But then bizarre giant "alien things" appear along with 7 sentai soldiers to fight them. Souya is then bribed into fighting them by his housemates with the prospect of eating meat. Which he does in spite of not knowing which of these three sides is the right one. This is similar to how Noata is manipulated by Haruka in FLCL. Neither of them knows or even cares that much about what is right or wrong instead they are manipulated by the crazy adults in their lives.

If you liked Momo e no Tegami add

...then you might like Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta add

Both are movie's whose stories in plot synopsis and set up sound very like a ghibli film, but then have distinctive animation styles that are associated with their respective directors. Amusingly Momo's director is known for his realistic rotoscoped style, while Lu's director is know for his exaggerated colorful style. The main character in both in a gloomy kid who has moved a small seaside town from the city and then has an experience with yokai.

If you liked Tokyo Godfathers add

...then you might like Hinamatsuri add

Anzu an esper child ends up living with a group of homeless people, although her story is the side story of Hinamatsuri. It shows a sympathetic story about a group of homeless people. Tokyo Godfathers is about 3 homeless people who find a baby on Christmas.

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Baccano! add

Both these series have are very violent, yet super fun, tons of crazy killer characters all interacting in both series. They also both use a similarly more realistic animation style in color palette and character design.

If you liked Shinryaku! Ika Musume add

...then you might like Tsuritama add

Both are stories about sea life (a fish and squid) coming ashore and making themselves a part of a the beachside community although they are initially thought of as a pain. I suppose Haru is actually an alien who just transforms into a fish and has power connected to water, white SquidGirl vehemently protest that she is a squid when characters suggest she is an alien.

If you liked Princess Tutu add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

Both of these stories involve characters who know they are fictional and interact with their authors in the anime. In this sense both stories are very meta, being a narrative about narrative. In Princess Tutu the characters are fighting against their author, Drocelmeyer to change the story from being a tragedy. In Re:Creators the cast is much larger and have varied opinions and relationships with their authors from antagonistic to familial.

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka add

In ACCA Jean travels to vastly different regions as an inspector for his country. Kino visits different city-state like countries as traveler with her motorad Hermes. Both Of these shows are episodic focusing as much on how people live in these fictional regions as on their main characters

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Ergo Proxy add

The similarities grow as Ergo Proxy moves to its second half. The main cast of both shows spend time in close quarters abroad their broken down ships. They're both set in dystopian sci-fi's. Both become episodic in nature though have an overarching plot. Spike and Vincent both want to run from their past, but end up facing it in the end.

If you liked Noir add

...then you might like Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha add

Both involve assassin's trying to figure out a mystery in their past and fighting other assassins. Contractors technically aren't always assassins but act like it a lot. Hei and Noir are both such skilled assassins they are compared to grim reapers. In both the antagonist is a larger organizations, the Syndicate and the Soldats, which seem to manipulate everything behind the scenes. The strength of both are definitely the great fight choreography and soundtracks. Weaknesses in both could be considered the plot and characters. But if that didn't bother you one it hopefully won't in the other.

If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

If you like Izaya you will like this show. Megane is very similar to Izaya, but eviler and with magic that involves manipulating people with her words. AKA so much worse for those against her. Like Izaya she loves all humans though. In this character comparison Alicetaria is Shizou, which fits but minus shipping. Great huge cast all bouncing off of each other trying to not destroy or destroy the city!

If you liked Hataraku Maou-sama! add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

Okay this one is a kinda strange bridge that I didn't realized previously, but both are about fantasy characters summoned to the real world and having to deal with the consequences of how the real world effects them. They're very different in tone. Re:Creators is a drama battle, while Devil is a Part-Timer is a fall from grace comedy. Emy and Selestia also have kinda similar character design, but Selestia luckily definitely isn't a tsudere.

If you liked Sword Art Online add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

One of the main character for Re:Creators, Selestia is loosely based off Asuna from SAO. Re:Creators is a brilliant battle between copyright safe versions of anime characters from different genre. Its awesome. Selestia has a true fantasy backstory and is more mature than Asuna. But if you loved Asuna and want to see a show where her character type really shines check out RE:Creators and if you somehow haven't seen SAO and want to know Setsuna's base character watch the first half of SAO.

If you liked Kuroshitsuji add

...then you might like Gatchaman Crowds add

The villain for Gatchaman Crowds, Berg Katze is essentially Grell. Like seriously. They're both flamboyantly villainous fem transgender red heads with other worldly powers. I'm really surprised this correlation hasn't been made before.

If you liked Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge add

...then you might like Little Witch Academia (TV) add

These both are school comedies with sweet characters who are good people and you cheer for. The comedies both revolves around a single character flaw of the main characters, Akko is enthusiastic but lacks any talent, and as the title says Tanaka is alway listless. Though Little Witch Academia has a bit more of an over arching plot, they're both pretty episodic. Both shows are easy enjoyable watches, if you just want to relax or need cheering up.

If you liked Little Witch Academia add

...then you might like Kyousou Giga (TV) add

The protagonist Akko and Koto have similar energetic personalities that help them persevere. The action also has a similar amazing fluidity and motion to it. Little Witch Academia is a far simpler story, but they both contain ultimately uplifting themes, and should be watched.
