If you liked Omoide Poroporo add

...then you might like Gin no Saji add

Protagonist leaves behind a more typical life in the city and moves to the countryside. While learning how to farm, they also learn more about themselves and what they want to do with their future.

If you liked Battery add

...then you might like 2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu add

Similar vibes, sports anime that focus more on character drama and relationships rather than hot-blooded sports action.

If you liked Princess Tutu add

...then you might like Deca-Dence add

While on the surface they couldn't seem more different, Deca-Dence and Princess Tutu are both fundamentally about fighting against one's designated role in the system. At the core of each series is a girl who, against all circumstances, is determined to rewrite her destiny, and ultimately the world's as she inspires others to do the same.

If you liked Re: Cutie Honey add

...then you might like Promare add

The creators of Promare, Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima, worked together on the first episode of Re: Cutey Honey, so if you're looking for more of their signature style, look no further. However, there's more between these two titles than just Imaishi and Nakashima. Amid all the flashy animation and big action, a relationship develops between the two lead characters: opposing personalities who don't get along at first, but it all builds up to a surprisingly similar payoff as they team up.

If you liked Fune wo Amu add

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

The main characters channel their passion and energy into making books - although while Honzuki is about books in general, Fune wo Amu is about dictionaries specifically. The slow pace draws viewers into the story, and amid the slow process of book-making, the protagonists build interesting relationships with those around them.

If you liked Redline add

...then you might like Promare add

Redline and Promare are both lovingly crafted original passion projects in which the creators wanted to jam in as much cool stuff as possible, and boy does that pay off! Bombastic animation, kinetic action, compelling chemistry between the two leads, and ever-rising stakes are all tied together by extremely unique and distinct visual styles that set each apart from their contemporaries.

If you liked Kiznaiver add

...then you might like Sarazanmai add

One word: connections. The circumstances which the main characters are dragged into force them to find out more about each other - whether they like it or not. As their relationships grow and change, they come face to face with what it means to be truly connected with others.

If you liked Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho add

...then you might like Devilman: Tanjou-hen add

Lots of blood, demon fighting, and that sweet late 80s-early 90s anime aesthetic.

If you liked JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken add

...then you might like Devilman: Tanjou-hen add

Both are adaptations of some of the most influential action shounen manga, complete with bloody supernatural battles and the classic "90s anime OVA" look. Both also have kinda goofy English dubs.

If you liked Sakura Quest add

...then you might like Yuru Camp△ add

Female friendships form in the Japanese countryside. Easygoing shows that spark appreciation for the small things in life.

If you liked Samurai Flamenco add

...then you might like SSSS.Gridman add

An homage and a love letter to tokusatsu, complete with the tropes we all know and love, a delightful cast of characters, and a story that goes in a direction you wouldn't expect.

If you liked Sakura Quest add

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

The main casts of Sakura Quest and Yorimoi are similar in that they are young women who meet and quickly bond by working together and overcoming hardships. But these shows are more than "cute girls doing cute things" - they inspire an appreciation for everyday life and a desire to try new things. Kimari and Yoshino both yearn to do something meaningful with their lives, and gain a new perspective through making new friends and having new experiences.

If you liked Haikyuu!! add

...then you might like Hanebado! add

Red-blooded sports anime with a similar dynamic between the two leads: rivals who end up on the same team.

If you liked Michiko to Hatchin add

...then you might like Golden Kamuy add

A child and her parent-figure go on a journey to find out about the child's birth father, meeting people and getting into sometimes bizarre situations along the way. The real heart of these series lies within the growing familial relationship between the two leads.

If you liked Persona 3 the Movie 1: Spring of Birth add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Devilman has had a clear influence on SMT and by extension, Persona, and this influence comes through the most in Persona 3. Apocalyptic themes and religious imagery are present here, and many parallels can be drawn between the characters of Ryou Asuka and Ryoji Mochizuki. Connections between people and what it means to be human are also explored.

If you liked X add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Go Nagai's works have had a great influence on CLAMP, and X is one of the most obvious results of that influence. Like Devilman, X is apocalyptic fiction, focusing on the battle of the main character to protect humanity. Human nature, apocalyptic imagery, duality, and religious motifs are front and center.

If you liked Re: Cutie Honey add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Being modernized adaptations of Go Nagai's works, both of these shows deliver on over-the-top action, inventive visuals, and lots of boobs. Sexuality is front and center. The styles of the directors shine through in each, making both a showcase of unique directorial work. Both have underlying themes about love, although Cutey Honey is ultimately a lot more positive than Devilman. Both shows also feature gay relationships. And as a bonus, Akira and Miki make a cameo appearance in Re: Cutey Honey.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Hunter x Hunter's Chimera Ant arc shares a lot of themes with Devilman - namely, the dark side of humanity and human nature. The dichotomy between good and evil gets blurred as the "evil" non-human beings display "human" traits such as love while the supposedly "good" humans commit atrocities that are just as awful as what they're fighting against, if not worse. There is also a strong undercurrent of anti-war sentiment.

If you liked Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

The original Devilman had a pretty heavy influence on Yu Yu Hakusho, which comes through in several ways. Demon fighting is an obvious one, with lots of bloody close-quarters brawls that get your blood pumping. The thematic exploration of evil and human nature is another; being a main theme of Devilman, it is also touched upon in early arcs of YYH and later delved into more deeply in a later arc. Even putting the influence aside, exciting, intense action combines with likable characters and solid writing that makes both of these shows a lot of fun.

If you liked Made in Abyss add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Do you like cool monsters? Do you like watching children suffer? Do you like bleak, hopeless circumstances? Then you will like both of these shows.

If you liked CB Chara Go Nagai World add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

Crossovers of characters from different genres. Creator-creation interactions. Some characters are hostile to their creator because of the circumstances of their canon. Go Nagai World is obviously a LOT goofier than Re:Creators, but if you enjoyed the meta aspects of one, it might be worth it to give the other a shot.

If you liked Tsurezure Children add

...then you might like Net-juu no Susume add

Sweet, light-hearted romantic comedies with relatable characters and a couple (or couples!) that you just want to root for. Both of these shows will warm your heart and leave you with a smile on your face.

If you liked Omoide Poroporo add

...then you might like Sakura Quest add

Adult female main character works in the Japanese countryside while trying to figure out what to do going forward. Heartfelt and easygoing with very human characters.

If you liked Princess Tutu add

...then you might like Re:Creators add

Both of these shows explore the nature of storytelling and the relationship between the creator and the created, with self-aware writing and meta use of character tropes.

If you liked Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari add

...then you might like Sakura Quest add

Protagonist moves from Tokyo to a small rural town and learns to love it. An easygoing slice-of-life story with a focus on rural Japanese life that will leave you with a smile on your face.

If you liked Ookiku Furikabutte add

...then you might like Yuri!!! on Ice add

While the sports themselves couldn't be more different, Oofuri and YoI both feature a protagonist who struggles with anxiety and low self-esteem despite his talent. Their character arcs are about dealing with their anxiety, gaining confidence, and finding support in the people around them. Not only do these shows handle mental illness really well, they also feature healthy, supportive, and positive relationships between the characters - although YoI has overt romance while Oofuri does not.

If you liked Top wo Nerae 2! Diebuster add

...then you might like Flip Flappers add

Diebuster and Flip Flappers are both fun, over-the-top sci-fi series with a focus on the relationship between the two female main characters, one being energetic and the other being more reserved. There's more than meets the eye to the worlds and characters than one might think.

If you liked Uchuu Patrol Luluco add

...then you might like Flip Flappers add

Colorful and bold designs, zany and fast-paced action, adventures in bizarre worlds. Luluco and Cocona get dragged into strange adventures which, although they are unwilling at first, they both come to enjoy. Flip Flappers and Space Patrol Luluco are wild rides bursting with energy, making both a joy to watch.

If you liked Noragami add

...then you might like Mob Psycho 100 add

Supernatural battles and a similar student/mentor relationship at the center. The "mentors" (Yato and Reigen, respectively) are often silly/comic relief/over-the-top, but they can and do get serious for the sake of their students and are genuinely good mentors to them. Also have similar monster designs.

If you liked Gankutsuou add

...then you might like 91 Days add

A story about a man going on a quest to get revenge against the people who ruined his life.
