If you liked Tamako Market add

...then you might like Taisou Zamurai add

The slice of live/comedy part of Taisou Zamurai reminded me a lot of Tamako Market. Maybe the initial reason why I thought of Tamako Market is because in both anime there appears a very strange bird, that seems to be a symbol or even the cause of some weirdness. It's this cozy, lighthearted weirdness that Taisou Zamuraiand Tamako Market have in common. The weird elements might be just stupid unrealistic stuff for some but to me it made both anime very special und fun to watch, along with the lovable characters, that both anime also have in common. I can think of other anime with the same king of weirdness like Penguindrum, Tsuritama or Sarazanmai. But in all of these the strangeness is more like the core of the story whereas in Tamako Market and Taisou Zamurai it's more like a little extra spice in a heartwarming slice of live/sports story. To make it short: - heartwarming, cozy, lighthearted - lovable characters - a little bit of unrealistic weirdness - a strange bird - slice of live part

If you liked Gyakuten Saiban: Sono "Shinjitsu", Igi Ari! add

...then you might like Kabukichou Sherlock add

After the first episode of "Kabukichou Sherlock" I looked if "Ace Attorney" maybe had the same director or if both were adaptations of the same kind of game or something else like that, because they seemed so simular. I couldn't find anything but watching more episodes they seemed even more simular. Both have interesting mystery cases with an overall story, starting of throwing a newby in. The characters and their deisgn are rather mature and there is the same kind of humor with silly names, gay characters, etc... At times both seemed to be made with a female audience in mind.

If you liked Kuragehime add

...then you might like Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! add

They are both anime about a creative group of rather unusual girls. I think they are interesting/ intended for the same kind of people, that want to see how female characters come out of their shell and do something that amazes other people. For me, both needed some time to grow on me.

If you liked Yama no Susume add

...then you might like Heya Camp△ add

Both are pleasant short anime (3-4 min) featuring 4 young girls doing outdoor activities. Both will give sidenotes of how to enjoy everyday life and what kind of outdoor activities you can do. Both have nice art.

If you liked Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen add

...then you might like Huyao Xiao Hongniang: Zhu Ye add

Both are mature prequel stories for long-running, more fun-oriented anime. They both have romance and tragedy and are set in an historical setting. The tone in Rurouni Kenshin/ Samurai X in general is a more serious and Fox Spirit Matchmaker is a chinese prduction, that also has supernatural elements. So they are also rather different but I found them to be the hidden gems that sparkel in the same way in otherwise more generic (sorry to the fans, I don't think at all that they are bad) series.

If you liked Kurozuka add

...then you might like Mugen no Juunin: Immortal add

Both are samurai stories for a mature audience. Both have mixed other elements into the historical content that make the events in the story seem heavier or lighter. I liked the touch of sophisticatedness of both, but there are also cool flights and characters and people that are more into these parts will also like both anime. Art is also good in both.

If you liked Shigurui add

...then you might like Mugen no Juunin: Immortal add

Both are samurai stories for a mature audience, with lot's of bloody fights, sexuel content and some underlying message for the attentive viewers. Both have really good art and a dark mood.

If you liked Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii add

...then you might like Tong Ling Fei add

They are both set in an historical fantasy world. In both a strong girl character marries a ruler she is not interested in. I guess both are a girls-guilty-pleasure kind of anime and were a lot of fun to me.

If you liked Fukumenkei Noise add

...then you might like Given add

Both are about forming bands, have drama and a conflict between old and new love. I recommend to watch both if you like one but te art style in "Anonymous voice" is not for everyone and "Given" has bl.

If you liked Abenobashi Mahou☆Shoutengai add

...then you might like Tamako Market add

Both are fun stories about teenagers in old shopping district, with some crazy fantasy stuff going on.

If you liked Yosuga no Sora add

...then you might like Domestic na Kanojo add

They are both love stories that involve sexual relationships between a high school boy and several female characters.

If you liked Hataraki Man add

...then you might like Rinshi!! Ekoda-chan add

I see some similarities between Edoka-chan and Matsukata Hiroko, most of all that they are both independent modern working women.

If you liked Otona Joshi no Anime Time add

...then you might like Rinshi!! Ekoda-chan add

Both have simple but deep stories about the daily lifes of women made by different directors for each episode. "Otona Joshi no Anime Time" has completely different stories whereas "Near Death!! Ekoda-chan" super short episodes are based on the same manga. The artstyles are extremely unusual and more appealing for arty people I guess. They vary from episode to episode. I really think someone who likes one of them could be interested in the other one since they are rare finds of anime about/for grown up and a little bit weird women.

If you liked Major S1 add

...then you might like Captain Tsubasa (2018) add

These anime aren't similar in every way but they are both sports anime with an overpowered and reckless main character. Someone who likes Tsubasa (especially as he is in the Middle School tournament) will probably also like Goro.

If you liked Ashita no Nadja add

...then you might like Glass no Kamen (2005) add

The are both older shoujo anime with a rather good story line about girls going their way to achieve their goals. Both include rivalery, difficult family circumstances, acting/dancing, romance and strong lead characters.

If you liked Ajin add

...then you might like Revisions add

They cgi art is pretty simular. Both have sci-fi/action stories with lots of violence.

If you liked Sekaiichi Hatsukoi add

...then you might like Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu. add

Both have erotic romance between men and still manage to have some nice plot about worklive (editosr/ actors).

If you liked Punch Line add

...then you might like SSSS.Gridman add

This might be far-fetched but watching SSSS.Gridman reminded me of Punch Line because for both I expected action and got very inteligent mystery. At first glance their plot seems very generic, shounen-oriented and normal but turns out to be much more inteligent and interesting. In both anime a boy finds himself in a puzzling situation and has to save the world. Both have high quality animation, with art that is a little bit unusual.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like SSSS.Gridman add

Overall SSSS.Gridman makes much more sense than FLCL but it shows tendencies of the same craziness and oversteps some borders that standart anime don't touch. Both have an inteligent plot, that is fun to analyse, talk about and read stuff into it. Both have high quality animation, that tends to be a little bit arty. The characters are teens, and there problems are handelt in an metaphoric way. Both have mecha and well done fights.

If you liked Clannad add

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

Character-wise and dialog-wise and teenage-problem-connected-with-some-supernatural-stuff-theme-wise there are many anime out there that are more like "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai" but - BUT - I got an almost mystical feeling from "Clannad" and I got a little bit of the same feeling from "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai", so I think the reason, why both anime are so popular is made of the same essence and if you liked one I recommend to watch the other to maybe find this essence again.

If you liked Mahoujin Guruguru (2017) add

...then you might like Merc Storia: Mukiryoku no Shounen to Bin no Naka no Shoujo add

If you like Merc Storia, chances are that you'll love Mahoujin Guru Gure, where another cute male/female pair sets out to a heartwarming fantasy adventure on which the grow by helping different people. Both anime are fluffy, a little bit on the episodic side but with unforced character grows. They have cute art and over all a surprisingly similar concept. Mahoujin Guru Gure also has some funny parody of jrpg games and a more complete story, what made it more enjoyable for me.

If you liked Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu add

...then you might like Ginga Sengoku Gunyuuden Rai add

Obviously both anime are of the rare space opera species. They are both not to easy to get into, Ginga Sengoku Gunyuuden Rai because of the bad English subtitles and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu because of the old and unuasal art and seriousness. The narrative style is more or less the same. The battles are simular, with more interesting tactics in Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu. Both handle moral aspects of war, which are a lot deeper and more detailed in Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu. Both have some romance one the side. The worlds of the animes are in space but with a lot of historic elements, Ginga Sengoku Gunyuuden Rai with chinese elements and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu with French Louis the XIV stuff. Ginga Sengoku Gunyuuden Rai sure is a nice space opera but Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu is epic. If you wan't to watch just one I would recommend Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, also it takes much more time to watch it. But if you allready watched one and want something simular, make sure to give the other one a try.

If you liked Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu add

...then you might like Grancrest Senki add

For someone who likes fantasy adventures that involve magic and warring kingdoms both anime are a good choice. For people that aren't to fond of this genre, they may still grow on you, because of some characters, the mature themes or the story twists. But be warned they are also simular in their bad points like pasting and to many characters.

If you liked Senkou no Night Raid add

...then you might like Sirius add

- simlar setting in the time before world war 2 - secret organisations - good action - serious tone - art syles go in the same direction

If you liked Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii add

...then you might like Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi add

Both: - have strong heroines - are set in spirit/fantasy world - are about an unusual engagement (- were very much to my liking)

If you liked Ao no Exorcist add

...then you might like Muhyo to Rouji no Mahouritsu Soudan Jimusho add

Both are shounen anime about fighting demons. The characters learn to fight demons at a special school, with more experienced fighters on their side. Also the art is cute/colorful, the stories are rather serious. I found both of them entertaining because in both anime there are some characters that reveal another side of them at some point. The mystery, the fights and the humor were also nice.

If you liked Shounen Maid add

...then you might like Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine add

Similarities; - setting: poor person comes to rich peoples house to serve them - art style - humor (but stronger in Royal Tutor) - finding ones place in a foreign household - english voice actors sounded the same to me

If you liked Kanon (2006) add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

To me it feels like Bakemonogatari evolved from Kanon. Storywise both anime can be summarized as follows: A guy helps a bunch of girls with supernatural problems. Both male main characters are nice, a little bit saracastic and enjoy making jokes with girls, what leads to interesting dialogs. Also Kanon does many things well, like giving each girl enough time for her story without blending out the others, Bakemonogatari has the more interesting art, the much more interesting girls (sadly the Kanon-girls sometimes seem to be close to be mentally ill) and the more developed dialogs. On the other hand Kanon is much less challenging to watch. Still, if you boil things down, I think the animes are simular and many peaople that enjoy one of them will find the other one interesting to watch.

If you liked Shigurui add

...then you might like Hyouge Mono add

They are both rather serious anime set in historical japan with exceptional art. I guess they appeals to the same target group, with rather mature taste and interest in traditional japanese lifestyle.

If you liked Hanasaku Iroha add

...then you might like Sakura Quest add

Has a simular warm feeling to it and there are some simular themes like: - Promoting tourism. - Living in the city vs living on the country side. - Finding out where you belong and what to do with your life. Sakura Quest is more on the comedy side and the cast is older.
