If you liked Mahou Shoujo-tai Arusu add

...then you might like Kemono no Souja Erin add

The similarities between these two shows seem rather obvious. Both have a strong young female lead and a highly symbolical story taking place in an imaginary world. They also share both light hearted moments and deep tragedy. One must add that "Erin" is the darker of the two and though both shows are aimed at a young audience "Erin" is clearly meant for a slightly older one than "Alice". These shows share many qualities and have very different flaws. I hope people will buy/watch these shows so that producers will be encouraged to make more animes sharing this quality and spirit.

If you liked Black Cat (TV) add

...then you might like R.O.D: The TV add

The plot in the second half of each of these animes is similar in many aspects. In both shows, the "bad guys" are cowards who try to change society by brain washing or conditioning humans. Both these shows carry messages in relation to freedom of thought and the resolution of human conflict but R.O.D. also explores the concepts of education and culture. R.O.D. deals with a few more questions but it also leaves many unanswered, whereas Black Cat, despite its simpler plot, provides more closure.

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Mimi wo Sumaseba add

Both these are centered around high school and, more specifically, the lives and dreams of girls. Whereas "Azumanga Daioh" deals with multiple characters, "Whisper of the Heart" is centered around one main. Both these animes are rather light-hearted; "Whisper of the Heart" being deeper and more realistic while "Azumanga Daioh" is clearly more of a comedy.

If you liked Gilgamesh add

...then you might like The Third: Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo add

The main similarity between these two animes is that symbolism is very strong in both. They both also take place in post-apocalyptic worlds but whereas "Gilgamesh" is very dark and cynical from beginning to end, "The Third" is lighter and carries great messages of hope.
