If you liked The Animatrix add

...then you might like Star Wars: Visions add

Star Wars: Visions and The Animatrix are anime anthologies based on blockbuster action film franchises. Both anthologies contain nine individual short films about new stories taking place in the films' universe. Each episode is written and directed by a different animation studio. These anime reference characters and events from the base franchises. It is recommended you watch the films before these spin-offs for a fuller experience.

If you liked ReLIFE add

...then you might like Bokutachi no Remake add

Have you ever regretted a past mistake, a choice you made, a chance you never took? These anime take that regret and build a story from it. Both follow a man who is working a dead-end job, wishing things went differently. They are randomly transported into the past and given a chance to change things.

If you liked Yesterday wo Utatte add

...then you might like Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. add

Adult male protagonist lives through life lethargically. He falls in love with a woman who has her life together, great job, beautiful, and caring. He confesses to her, but she rejects him at first. He begins interacting with a mysterious teenage girl who helps him find motivation and self-confidence. Both girls are high school dropouts and ran away from home. In HigeHiro the mysterious girl moves into the main character's apartment. Whereas in Yesterday she appears at random times throughout the show. They attempt to have a realistic atmosphere—no romantic comedy hijinks, toned down color palette, and the setting is suburban Japan. Most of the anime is comprised of conversations taking place in the street, a convenience store, a cafe, or the main character's apartment. Higehiro deals with trauma and depression, but Yesterday is more about finding yourself. If you like realistic dramas with love triangles you might like both of these anime.

If you liked Darling in the FranXX add

...then you might like 86 add

Dystopian mecha series following a squadron of young soldiers fighting on behalf of a government led by suspicious aristocrats. They contain death and violence in a war against inhuman monsters. Both feature a female protagonist who provides insight into the government's politics and is looked at as outsiders in both appearance and personality. The main male protagonists are stoic and respected by all of the group members, especially the women. Either series has some hijinks expected of rom-com's but juxtaposed with the military setting.

If you liked Deca-Dence add

...then you might like Akudama Drive add

Action-adventure series that analyze the flaws in toxic systems. Both have prison breaks. The main characters are rebels. Great animation and music. Recommended for cultured people.

If you liked Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru add

...then you might like Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! add

A bitter male protagonist gets summoned to another world by mostly incompetent women. Lots of fan service and gag comedy that relies on screaming. Shinchou Yuusha is inspired by Konosuba. Sentouin, Hakenshimasu was written by the author of Konosuba.

If you liked Domestic na Kanojo add

...then you might like Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. add

Romances between a minor and an adult. Takes place in modern-day Japan. Lots of fanservice, seduction, and some softcore sex scenes.

If you liked One Punch Man add

...then you might like Keijo!!!!!!!! add

Keijo is an anime like One Punch man because they have one joke, but it is VERY funny. Butts hitting each other? Punching things? Comedy gold! Neither anime get bogged down by useless things like plot or character development.

If you liked Narutaru: Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko add

...then you might like Blood-C add

Bizarre, disturbing, and violent. These anime will leave you with your mouth open and thinking "What the fuck did I just watch?" If you want to feel disgusted and confused, watch these. Both series follow kids fight who must fight off monsters to survive and protect their friends.

If you liked Shinreigari add

...then you might like Urasekai Picnic add

The main characters stumble upon a supernatural alternate reality. In Otherside Picnic they confront urban legends that manifest as spirits and monsters. Ghost Hunt focuses on uncovering mysteries. Both follow younger characters who are curious. Each series deals with themes of grief and friendship.

If you liked Hametsu no Mars add

...then you might like Ex-Arm add

Both are dark stories with lots of action, violence, and mature themes. They are flawed in many ways, such as animation quality, however, these flaws make both anime unintentionally comedic. If you enjoyed one, you will surely like the other! I recommend watching both.

If you liked Himouto! Umaru-chan add

...then you might like Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! add

1. Very annoying girl annoys a guy. 2. Gag comedies. 3. Slice-of-life. 4. "Cute" 5. The male character is disgruntled and socially awkward.

If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Arte add

In Arte, the main character is also a woman aspiring to learn a trade, painting portraits of clients. In Violet Evergarden, the main character learns the trade of writing letters for clients. As they work for their clients, they learn about them, they gain respect for them, and they gain a friend. Both are historical fiction taking place in a European setting. In either, there is a blossoming romance with someone they idolize, although in Violet Evergarden it is a side plot. Coincidentally, both shows are named after the main character.

If you liked Seikaisuru Kado add

...then you might like Babylon add

Both are politic dramas that focus on the world's response to supernatural events. The introduction of a supernatural/sci-fi person in the world presents new ideology and debates with politicians. The philosophies for the ideal societies in either show are very speculative and based on the writer's opinion rather than believable concepts rooted in reality. They are written by the same man. While each start with an intruiging premise, their endings take a pseudo-philosophical turn. Babylon ends on a more disappointing note, to say the least.

If you liked Mousou Dairinin add

...then you might like Kyokou Suiri add

The main antagonist of In/Spectre is an enigmatic steel beam wielding maniac attacking people at random, inspiring fear and mass hysteria in people who believe she exists. She is similar to the anonymous Lil Slugger from Paranoia agent who attacks people at random with a golden bat. Both series focus on the panic, media coverage, and investigation of the unknown psychos. Paranoia Agent is more serious than In/Spectre.

If you liked Sakurada Reset add

...then you might like Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO add

Another 2-cour science-fiction/mystery show with high school characters. Both main characters have time travel ability. In YU-NO the MacGuffin of the story is the time travel device the protagonist uses, but in Sakurada reset the MacGuffin is the key to all the superpowers.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

...then you might like Shichisei no Subaru add

Group of six friends are separated by the death of one of them, a cute girl. The girl returns years later with no memory of dying and the friends have to come back together and work out their conflicts with one another that were caused by her death. Shichisei no Subaru takes place in a video game setting, but is otherwise a direct copy of AnoHana’s story and some of its character archetypes. The protagonist dude with almost no personality has to take care of the girl, he is in a love triangle with his childhood friend and the aforementioned cute girl. If you like AnoHana you’ll probably find this repetitive, but if you just want more of the same this has it in spades.

If you liked add

...then you might like Pingu in the City add

Well developed main characters. References to pingu in the documentary. Very funny comedy. Breathtaking art.

If you liked Sword Gai The Animation add

...then you might like Garo: Vanishing Line add

Both anime take place in a sci-fi/fantasy urban setting and follow characters who hunt those who are possessed. Each anime occasionally break off from the main characters to follow the possessed and tell their stories. Each has CGI Sword Fights, lots of driving sequences, and are quite gory.

If you liked Mirai Nikki (TV) add

...then you might like B: The Beginning add

Two sci-fi thrillers that are not afraid to be totally absurd. Both have intense action sequences that border on insane adding more and more elements that make them unbelievable(ly entertaining). Overall crazy vibe meets super edgy characters makes for a weird but exciting experience. Each dabbles in detective mysteries but become more focused on fantasy elements as the story unfolds towards the end. *Bonus* Both shows have toilet scenes.

If you liked Mayoiga add

...then you might like Ousama Game The Animation add

Mayoiga is marketed as a horror however it can be watched as a comedy, similar to Ousama Game. The atmosphere is dark and edgy in both shows, however, Mayoiga is less serious. Both shows are in the mystery genre and neither show tries to explain the supernatural events in a comprehensive way.

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

...then you might like Made in Abyss add

Both shows have a cast of young characters who explore a new world with little knowledge of it. The atmosphere is dense and mystifying in each show. Their themes include coming-of-age and Hierarchy in nature.
