If you liked Rozen Maiden add

...then you might like Busou Shinki Moon Angel add

Although the premise and genre are different, when I watched Busou Shinki Moon Angel I was immediately reminded of Rozen Maiden. In both anime we have some kind of toy that approaches a hikikomori kid and somehow helps him socialize and build confidence. Shinku and Kaguya are also very similar in appearance (blue-eyed blondes with long hair) and the same is true for Jun and Tsubasa. They also have the master-servant relationship, though in Rozen Maiden it's much more complicated.

The atmosphere is pretty much the same; they are both shounen-ai and have a super popular idol who is a cute bishi.

If you liked Alien 9 add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

Both seem to have a cutesy art and all, but in reality they are much darker and cruel. Things like underage girls communicating with alien life forms and getting strange powers as a result.

If you liked Cencoroll add

...then you might like Kamisama Dolls add

Basically, the main characters can control mecha-like entities and make them fight one another (thus creating a lot of turmoil) but at some point they change their masters. The creatures are to be kept in secret, though in the process more people learn about them.

If you liked Alien 9 add

...then you might like Cencoroll add

We have children who interact with and use alien life forms for fighting; both are somewhat abstract and experimental.

If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e add

The initial idea is similar, though its realization is different. Perhaps Noein is something like a postmodern retelling of the fairytale that is Escaflowne (Kazuki Akane worked on both projects as a director).

If you liked Rozen Maiden add

...then you might like Mai-HiME add

In both series the characters must participate in a cruel game and defeat one another, and the last one standing is about to obtain enormous power. However, things don't always go as planned. ;3

Both are pretty standard magical girl anime with beautiful art and music.

If you liked Fractale add

Both anime present a technologically advanced, seemingly utopical world, with a lot more going on behind the curtain. The main characters are teens who accidentally find out about these secrets and oppose the authorities.

If you liked Mai-HiME add

In both anime the protagonists can telepathically control mechanical monsters and make them fight for them.

If you liked Jigoku Shoujo add

...then you might like Death Note add

In both anime people can mysteriously kill others and retain their anonymity, but they must bear some unpleasant consequences. There are many interesting twists and we get to know what happens when things don't go according to keikaku.

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e add

Dark and psychological shows revolving around unstable existences and artificial gods... you name it!

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Similar topics are explored in both shows (they also share the same director). Mawaru Penguin Drum has multiple references to Utena.

If you liked Mai-Otome add

...then you might like Senki Zesshou Symphogear add

They feature girls in mech robes who fight monsters and have somewhat similar transformation sequences.

If you liked Macross F add

...then you might like Senki Zesshou Symphogear add

They feature a lot of songs and music is central to the plot, as it amplifies people's fighting abilities.

If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Kamisama no Memochou add

They have the same urban feel and gangster kids who investigate mysteries.

If you liked Brave Story add

...then you might like Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo add

In both movies the protagonists undertake a journey to a faraway land similar to the underworld, in order to bring back a dead person whom they love very much.

If you liked Loveless add

...then you might like Kuroshitsuji add

They both have cute tsundere boys as main characters and older servants who fight for them... among other things. If you like shounen-ai subtones and humor, you are in for a treat!

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

If you like a lot of gore, bloodshed and suffering children, this is for you.

If you liked Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna add

...then you might like Giniro no Kami no Agito add

Basically they seem to be a huge wake-up call for environmental pollution, although their approach is different.

If you liked Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku add

...then you might like Strange Dawn add

In both anime there are children who accidentally find themselves stuck in an alternate world and must look for a way to go back to their own.

If you liked Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e add

...then you might like Dennou Coil add

In both shows we have different worlds that intertwine and children who travel trough them in order to explore many interesting things.

If you liked Bokura no add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

They have similar premise: young children are tempted to make contracts and play a dangerous game, often without being fully aware of what lies ahead. Anything more would be too spoilerific for either of them (the fact they are similar is already a huge spoiler).

If you liked Yumekui Merry add

...then you might like Black★Rock Shooter (TV) add

Alternative dream-like worlds where the characters or their alter-egos fight. Both are very colourful and beautiful.

If you liked .hack//Sign add

...then you might like Accel World add

The setting is similar - the characters from both shows interact in a virtual world.

If you liked Princess Tutu add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

There is much more than meets the eye for both of them - they are darker, thought-provoking magical girl shows that seem pretty standard on the surface.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Brain Powerd add

One more Evangelion-influenced show depicting teens, religious imagery and incoherent story-telling.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven add

Another anime heavily-influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion. Both have protagonists who feel out of place and have to save the world from a mysterious and deadly enemy.
