If you liked Yakusoku no Neverland add

...then you might like Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

They're both intense like a great Shounen anime, without either anime depicting any literal fights. They both aired in the same season, so if you somehow missed out on both of them, I highly recommend them. Kaguya is admittingly sort of episodic while Neverland, by the nature of it's plot, always chugs along, but both remain tense in their own way. Aside from the appeal of mindgames, Kaguya has the romance/comedy element to fall back on while Neverland has the overarching mystery and pseudo-horror. The biggest issue I have with both of them is that there aren't enough episodes out there for me. (Although Neverland has a 2nd Season in the works while Kaguya doesn't >_>) That's not to say the seasons don't feel complete, its just I WANT MOAR.

If you liked 3-gatsu no Lion add

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

You must be scratching your head thinking, "how in the world are these two anime similar?" (This is a kinda long recommendation, but reading it would be appreciated) Well, the similarities lie in one key aspect and that is the fantastic usage of time. Saiki Kusuo utilizes 5 minute episodes to adapt a single chapter, and does so extremely well as the experience from start to finish is aimed at comedy first without anything in between. 3-Gatsu no Lion takes the chapters from the manga and adapts 2 per episode, which are about 25 minutes long, or 20 minutes if you take out the OP/ED. I'll admit that these two are extremely different experiences, but they do manage to avoid dragging on a chapter. These two anime are certainly not the first to have little to no filler, but I'd say they are some of the best and deserve their scores. And just a few words about the series themselves. Saiki is a nice brief slice of comedy that feels rewarding to watch. For me it's like Gintama in that it provides some much needed relief and variety. The characters and plot are very simple, and that's okay because it doesn't need them. 3-Gatsu is a very calm, down to earth anime with a focus on the chess-like game shogi. It provides a different sort of relief and variety than Saiki, but it's relief regardless. The thing that really helps the anime go to another level is it's amazing cast of characters and it's top-notch animation from Shaft. Saiki is heavily under watched and I implore you to give it a chance. While it may have 120 episodes, that only amounts to 10 hours, or about 30 standard episodes of anime.(20 minutes each) 3-Gatsu is fairly popular, but I still feel the need to recommend it as its just that good.

If you liked Little Witch Academia (TV) add

...then you might like Pokemon Sun & Moon add

They both have very stylized and "good" animation, depending on your outlook. They both are episodic anime, with a few episodes sprinkled in to advance the main conflict, which has been hard to pin down as to what that is. Both have their own sort of actions scenes, with LWA's being the magic exhibitions and Pokemon S&M's being the pokemon battles.(Also lol S&M) They both appeal to children, and as such have characters and references that reflect this target audience.(That won't stop a few older people from enjoying it though) My final and weakest point is that they are both very much mixed bags as far as criticism goes.(But that goes for pretty much any anime) While I may not like either, that shouldn't stop you from liking them. Chances are if you enjoyed one, you'll enjoy the other. Don't worry about the loads of prequel anime before Pokemon Sun & Moon or the games, as they aren't necessary to get a hold on what's happening. Both are airing now and the episodic format is best experienced a bit at a time. So if you do consider watching, I'd say do so right away or at least before this season ends.(But if you like to binge like I do, go right ahead)
