If you liked Yuureitou add

...then you might like Golden Kamuy add

Be gay, do crimes, search for treasure, learn the treasure is the friends we make along the way, be gay again just to be sure

If you liked Bokura no add

...then you might like Wonder Egg Priority add

Teenagers deal with family issues, isolation, bullying, suicidal thoughts, and together they try to make sense of it and survive. Heavy focus on psychological drama, but also action scenes. (Bokurano manga is an even more accurate recommendation, as the anime don't follow the psychological thread of the plot so deeply.)

If you liked World Trigger add

...then you might like Samurai 8: Hachimaru Den add

Characters can regenerate their special bodies which are made specially to fight; their weapons and guns are crafted with energy, not "matter", and can transform; sci-fi setting with ever-growing mysteries unfolding about the way the world works and how The Universal Energy™ influences it.

If you liked Back Street Girls: Gokudolls add

...then you might like Africa no Salaryman (TV) add

Edgy jokes, cheap animation. The kind of series you'd like to watch before going to sleep, 11pm with the lights off. Kind of Simpsons/South Park feels. But don't expect much variety or effort in the jokes.

If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Kimetsu no Yaiba add

There's the "freeing demons' souls" theme in common, but what touches me in both series is how the characters are well made and, despite their natures, all of them feel human. DGM has a BIG problem with pacing and animation quality (the manga is far better), but the story makes you care about everyone there, even the villains. Similarly, in KnY, no character is thrown at you like a plot object. Everyone has a motivation, a mind and a story of its own.

If you liked Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden add

...then you might like Youjo Senki add

A blond(e) and haughty youngster must make their way into the military world and earn the respect of their superiors. Lots of talking about military strategy, powerful battles and struggles for power.

If you liked Prison School add

...then you might like Back Street Girls: Gokudolls add

Main characters are stuck in a situation (a school prison; men being forced to act like idols) where they cannot decide their fate, and get involved in a spiral of disgusting situations which always end up in dark humor. Harsh, dark humor. "Explicit" content. Sex jokes.

If you liked Wakako-zake add

...then you might like Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge add

Cute and refreshing animes about eating and sleeping. Good to relax after a busy day. They talk about everyday life and are very relatable. If you like Tanaka-kun's laziness and sincerity, you'll like Wakako's easygoing approach to life too.

If you liked Memories add

...then you might like add

Deep, psychological anime about the meaning of life and death

If you liked Roujin Z add

...then you might like Inuyashiki add

Mecha ojii-san! Mecha ojii-san! This is what happens when grandpa turns into a robot. Also expect a critic on the way our society treats the elders.

If you liked Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei add

...then you might like Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome add

Same author and director, and kinda the same universe and characters. You will have a better understanding of one by watching the other. Same kind of humor and very creative and funny situations.

If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Jikan no Shihaisha add

Not only the battles, the relations between some characters, the comedy and the plot, but a lot of key elements are also extremely similar: Chrono rulers = Exorcists Chronos = Black Order Horometers = Akuma Oaths of time = Innocences Unique = The Heart

If you liked Monster add

...then you might like Gunslinger Girl add

When it comes to portraying human nature in situations of non-dualist conflict, these series choose to show short personal stories which help you feeling attached to the human beings who are both killing and suffering due to the situation they're in. You're invited to see the world in other way than in black and white. Also, Hidenobu Kiuchi is the voice actor for both male protagonists, Tenma (Monster) and Croce (Gunslinger Girl)

If you liked Higashi no Eden add

...then you might like Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin add

Naked boy enounters girl in a bizarre situation. He always feel out of place (HnE: he's amnesiac; SOG: he's from the future). They go together in an adventure to solve a mystery, and the guy uses a strange cellphone with special functions to help. The humor in kinda similar, though in SOG it's a lot more stereotypical and anime-ish. Both have an ocidental feeling to the story and general setting.

If you liked Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu add

...then you might like Fune wo Amu add

They are series about professions: being a rakugo artist, making a dictionary. Haruko Kumota worked on both, so you're gonna feel a similar atmosphere when you see the quirky but realistic characters and the smooth pacing of the story. Both are pleasant series, it's nice to watch them with a calm mind; their focus is on making you contemplate the journey of a man learning about his work and slowly growing through life.

If you liked Sword Art Online add

...then you might like Tales of Zestiria the Cross add

- Beautiful animation and beautiful fights using sword and magic - Slow progression, similar narrative type - Main character is a genius or has some kind of power that no one else has - Both are "based" in the RPG world; SAO is about people trapped in a fictional MMORPG game and Zestiria is based in an actual RPG game

If you liked Monster add

...then you might like Mousou Dairinin add

Two Madhouse masterpieces from the same year (2004). They share the same kind of psychological atmosphere. Characters are always questioning their own sanity, percepction and points of view of the mystery that surrounds them. Both soundtracks, especially OPs/EDs, are unforgettable. Monster and Mousou Dairinin can make you doubt your own self-concept, and the amazing work of the directors will put the viewer at a state of psychological suspension which is no use trying to explain - feel it for yourself.

If you liked Higashi no Eden add

...then you might like Robotics;Notes add

Same feels: these series involve technology, idiosyncratic young adults and a mystery where someone have lost his memory and have to retrieve fragments of his past to save a lot of people (in national scale). Recommended if you like series with a contemporary setting and use of technology as a base for the main plot.

If you liked Katte ni Kaizou add

...then you might like Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

The daily routine of a special teenager with strange superpowers. Nonsense humor and absurd situations everywhere. Very colorful art. 4th wall almost always broken.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 4: Diamond wa Kudakenai add

- Normal people receiving random powers and using them not for any big cause, but for their own sake - There's no clear line between good and evil - Very good character development - Bright colors, beautiful art, unforgettable music - Unforgettable antagonists with deep character development and fully understandable reasons to act - Good exploration of the theme "friendship", with an acceptable number of clichés and tropes - Relatable characters, very likable main squad - Fights based on the smart use of the fighters' quirks, not only their brawns - Both are shonen from experienced and mature authors, and are considered for many to be their magna opera

If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs add

- An organization of people with special powers - Similar type of comedy (slapstick comedy, exageration of characters' funny traits) - In both you have a look inside the heroes' organization and learn about how it works instead of just seeing the main characters fight

If you liked JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 4: Diamond wa Kudakenai add

...then you might like Psyche Matashitemo add

In this city, people start to develop random superpowers and use them for all kinds of things - to kick out boredom, to do evil deeds and even to become heroes. As the main character become friends with a former enemy, the plot suddenly thickens. The pacing is kinda slow in some parts, but instead of being bothersome, this helps you to get used to the characters and to care about them.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 3: Stardust Crusaders add

When you look at the fights, there are nen techniques (HxH) and the stand abilities (JoJo): they work almost the same way, with strategies needed in order to win - victory is not possible without strategy and a further look at the opponent's techniques and style. Each charactern has a unique power (which is not a free choice, there are a lot of limitations) and has to create new ways to use it. If you like this kind of confontation, you'll enjoy both animes - though HxH is more strategic and slow and JoJo has more action.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

The heroes' peculiarities in BnHA works in a similar way than the nen techniques in HxH. The fights in both series are based in strategies made out of these powers' capabilities and limitations. The colors in both animations are very vivid and the movement of the characters is very fluid and well animated, making you get your eyes glued to the screen as you watch the fights.

If you liked Katte ni Kaizou add

...then you might like Sakamoto desu ga? add

Sketch comedies with an outstanding main charatcer who gets attention from everyone around his school and does crazy things. The comedy style is kind of absurd, but feels very fluent.

If you liked Musekinin Kanchou Tylor add

...then you might like Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa add

A lazy and carefree man is put on a spaceship and has to find his own motivations for being there. Tylor's and Shiro's ways to find their journey's meaning include interacting with people of various social classes (or various planets, in MKT) and different thoughts on space travel. Both main characters are on a journey to get to know the world they live in, the same world they aren't used to care about. They also share a similar type of comedy.

If you liked Hetalia Axis Powers add

...then you might like Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku: The Legend of Koizumi add

Political parodies with unique humoristic approaches on solving issues between countries. Short and funny.

If you liked Uchuu Kyoudai add

...then you might like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu add

They're (like) brothers, have very different personalities, and are together in the search for a dream. And "together" does not mean it won't be conflict, angst and envy between them. Both series will make you learn a lot: In Rakugo Shinjuu, you learn a lot about the rakugo art and japanese history and culture; in Uchuu Kyoudai, you learn about astronautics and space. The drama is very well presented, even the side character's stories manage to captivate you. You'll end up crying, laughing and struggling together with the characters - they're crafted like real people.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Katte ni Kaizou add

Nonsense adventures, critics to society hidden in jokes, references to other mangas and animes - and even to things in ocidental culture. Everything to make you die of laughter. Katte ni Kaizou is like a Gintama made for the Shonen Sunday universe.

If you liked Gankutsuou add

...then you might like Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto desu. add

These are two animations with alternative art. Beautiful backgrounds, light effects and work with textures. And, some might say, there's some homosexual tension in Gankutsuou, what may appeal to Konodan series fans. In general, both are recommended if you're looking for flamboyant art and an atmosphere with both magical and sci-fi feels.
