If you liked Yuusha-Ou GaoGaiGar add

...then you might like Yuusha Keisatsu J-Decker add

J-Decker does the same kiddy SatAM aesthetic as GaoGaiGar very well. The difference is J-Decker is less focused on being an action series; it is, odd as it may sound, the more cerebral sci-fi show. There is a constant undercurrent of sci-fi in GaoGaiGar that mostly serves to prop up the action. J-Decker takes the same sci-fi as a way to explore characters. Super Robot action results in both cases, but with different sorts of stakes at play. J-Decker is like GaoGaiGar if GaoGaiGar had less Gai and more Mamoru and if it gave the Ryuu-bots more time to develop as characters. In the end it has a lot of the same flavor as GaoGaiGar, but in different balance.

If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

...then you might like Shin Getter Robo add

Gurren Lagann and Getter Robo are constantly compared, but to put it really concisely— Getter Robo is Gurren Lagann, minus comedy, plus horror. They're similar enough if you like one you'll probably find something to like in the other, but different enough they can have fans with entirely different sensibilities. Getter Robo's influence on Gurren Lagann is both intentional and extremely obvious to anyone that's seen both. Gurren Lagann keeps a lot of the horror-ish elements but downplays their scariness. Getter Robo wants to tell stories that are far darker than Gurren Lagann. New Getter Robo is by far the easiest version of Getter Robo to consume as someone who's never experienced the franchise before, and makes both the similarities and differences with Gurren Lagann— both incredibly substantial— very apparent very quickly. ("Shin Getter Robo" is a legitimate way to put the title, but it also could refer to a very different manga or even the title of other OVAs, so this OVA gets called "New Getter Robo" for less ambiguity.)
