If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Kakegurui add

Both shows are completely over the top and the epitome of "edgy". They are completely focused on the characters (which are the weakest part of both shows).

If you liked Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna add

...then you might like Houseki no Kuni add

- Both shows are full of strange buddhist/shintoist symbolism - Both have female mc('s) that are chosen ones of some kind. - Both have a unique premise but Arjuna takes itself a bit more serious and is more controversial while Houseki no Kuni panders more to a modern and woke audience.

If you liked Boogiepop wa Warawanai add

...then you might like Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

Two shows that were made in the same era. Both have a very uncanny feeling and are full of strangeness and melancholy. The characters sometimes act like puppets or robots (similar to "Serial Experiments Lain" and "Texhnolyze"). Boogiepop is more on the horror side and eerie from the beginning while Kino's journey starts off as more of a mystery but steadily gets more uncanny. It's also a bit more philosophical than Boogiepop.

If you liked Angel Cop add

...then you might like Genocyber add

Both are ridiculously underrated classic OVA's which are super-brutal and therefore easily dismissed as "edgy" while actually being dark and tragic in the best sense. They both give of this very special 80's/90's OVA feeling of melancholy and nostalgia.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Genocyber add

Both shows are underestimated and stigmatized as edgy gore-anime (particularly Genocyber) while acutally having a deep and sad story about children with superpowers who are alienated by society.

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

...then you might like Alien 9 add

Both shows look like harmless kids shows at first but turn into dark, violent and sometimes gloomy horror shows without completely losing the general aura of childhood and fun.

If you liked Ginga Tetsudou 999 add

...then you might like Ashita no Joe add

Both shows must be very "old" for many anime fans today. They have completely different settings and genres but both take their time to explore the characters and the world around them and have actual progression (Ginga Tetsudo 999 is more episodic, though). Both shows are very tragic and elegic and are centered around an orphan kid who has to fight his way through life. Both mc's get to know a mysterious (fleshed-out) woman who tends to be some kind of mother figure. Ashita no Joe is a bit more hardcore and clearly aimed at adults while Ginga Tetsudo 999 could be enjoyed by children as well.

If you liked Samurai Champloo add

...then you might like Great Pretender add

- Both shows try really hard to be cool and funky and sassy - Both shows try really hard to appeal an international/western audience and contain token black (or token white or foreigner) characters. - Both shows are surprisingly moralistic and tame and both are very concerned about the sensibilities of western audiences. - Both shows contain very clear (and more often than not overpowered) good-guys who have a weird way of showing it sometimes and who fight bad guys.

If you liked .hack//Sign add

...then you might like Aku no Hana add

- Offbeat, gloomy atmosphere - Some of the best OST's in anime - teen angst - extremely unsympathetic, cowardly mc who has little control over his own life - not much progress story-wise but much insight in the mind of teens

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon add

Both are very archetypical shoujo anime, meaning: - both are very episodic and have a superficial monster-of-the-week-plot - Both are full of tropy characters and "hot boys" who look almost as female as female characters. - Both are very exclusively targeted at girls and contain awkward feminist undertones.

If you liked Bakumatsu no Spasibo add

...then you might like Giovanni no Shima add

Both anime deal with russian-japanese relations. "Giovanni's Island" takes place during WWII while "Bakumatsu Spasibo" takes place in 1855. "Giovanni's Island" is centered around kids and shows the daily life of people (+ it has some fantasy elements) while "Bakumatso no Spasibo" is slightly more dry and focuses around polititians and their negotiations.
