If you liked Gantz add

...then you might like :REverSAL add

Both series are about a group of people that are forced into a kill-or-be-killed "game" on a regular basis with little warning, in which the monstrous opponents are not the only threat. Gantz has a lot of blood, gore, and sexual content, while :REverSAL is light on the blood, has little gore, and no sexual content.

If you liked Hoozuki no Shima add

...then you might like Eden no Ori add

Both series are survival horror titles set on an isolated island and with a cast primarily composed of students. Both are the sort of story that keeps you guessing as you read, and both have unpredictable endings.

If you liked Fairy Cube add

...then you might like Hakushaku to Yousei add

Both series have European fairies as their core subject. Fairy Cube is a contemporary urban fantasy while Hakushaku to Yousei is a period piece, but they both have a nice balance of action, intrigue, and romance.

If you liked Beck add

...then you might like Bremen add

Both series are about a newly formed rock band and their struggles to make it big, augmented with their personal problems, a little romance, and a bit of action.

If you liked Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

...then you might like Another add

Both series have a high school boy protagonist joined by an unusual female student who goes overlooked or is ignored by others (Another because of curse-related superstitions, Tasogare Otome because she's a ghost), and deal with the frightening and dangerous results of curses and superstitions relating to their school. Overall they both have a similar dark ambiance and ocassional disturbing moments, resulting in both series giving off a similar feeling.

If you liked Hana yori Dango add

...then you might like Ouran Koukou Host Club add

One middle-class girl and her reverse-harem of insanely wealthy guys, coming right up! Ouran is intentionally a lot more gimmicky and silly to the point of ocassional parody when it comes to its approach, but Hanadan's funny moments are not exactly scarce.

If you liked Hana yori Dango add

...then you might like Lovely★Complex add

Both are great shoujo romance series about a couple no one thought would ever happen, whose biggest relationship obstacle seems to be themselves. Both also have great supporting casts who gradually get fleshed out and have their own great subplots.

If you liked Shaman King add

...then you might like Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho add

Shounen series about two things: the supernatural, and fight tournaments. YYH is more about spirit-based attacks and demons while SK is about ghosts, but both like to toss in references to Japanese mythology and spiritual beliefs so there's still lots of common ground.

If you liked Hellsing add

...then you might like Kurozuka add

Somewhat confusing series about morally ambiguous ancient vampires in a more-or-less modern setting with a great deal of fighting, gore, and stylized violence.

If you liked Kenkou Zenrakei Suiei-bu Umishou add

...then you might like Free! add

If you like this one anime about a high school swim team, you might like this other one! ...Hey, it's not like there's a lot of swimming anime.

If you liked Kagen no Tsuki add

...then you might like Tamashii no Futago add

Both series deal with dead characters who can't remember their lives (or deaths), and their interactions with living characters who help them regain their memories while dealing with their own lives.

If you liked Remote add

...then you might like Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro add

Detective series with a consecutive series of cases, with the clever and unusual detective lurking in the shadows while his female sidekick does the legwork and often gets the credit. Remote doesn't deal with the supernatural like Neuro does, and it favours 'fair play' mysteries as opposed to Neuro's clueless ones, but their shared fondness for gory murders, shocking twists, and of course the main character setup begs comparison.

If you liked Remote add

...then you might like Death Note Another Note: Los Angeles BB Renzoku Satsujin Jiken add

A female police officer does the footwork for a reclusive and unusual genius detective, with their primary (or sole) method of communication being a cellphone. Aside from the similarity in setup, both are keen on 'fair play' mysteries -- you can indeed play along at home.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Remote add

Detective stories with one quirky detective. Remote deals with a series of cases and has a two-person investigation tag-team as compared to Death Note's single case and villain protagonist setup, but if you're into reclusive, sometimes misanthropic, and generally unconventional detectives, both L and Himuro have you covered.

If you liked Touch add

...then you might like Q and A add

Adachi Mitsuru series about brothers, dealing with how they get along and how one deals with living in the other's shadow. Q and A is a lot more lighthearted than Touch, which in turn lacks Q and A's supernatural element, but the same author and the same story element make for an obvious comparison.

If you liked Itsumo Misora add

...then you might like Q and A add

Adachi Mitsuru series that differ from his usual fare thanks to the inclusion of a supernatural twist.

If you liked xxxHOLiC add

...then you might like Tousei Gensou Hakubutsushi add

Both series also become increasingly about the truth behind his identity, his past, and his family, revealing secrets even he was not aware of.

If you liked Ghost Hunt add

...then you might like Tousei Gensou Hakubutsushi add

Both series feature a mysterious and handsome young man who contends with a series of supernatural cases his occult knowledable make him particularly suited to handle. Tousei Gensou is a period piece while Ghost Hunt is contemporary, and Shinobu doesn't have a constant helper like Naru does, but the case-by-case structure of the stories bear strong comparison, and both series spend the bulk of the last volumes focused on revealing the truth behind the protagonists' identities, including highlighting the hints that have been scattered in the chapters that came before.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Tousei Gensou Hakubutsushi add

Although Tousei Gensou is somewhat dark when compared to Mushishi's relatively easygoing tone, both have a protagonist who deals with episodic (usually single chapter or small arcs) supernatural cases he is unusually knowledgable about. Both also delve into the protagonist's past and eventually explain how he came to be the way he is.

If you liked Kuroshitsuji add

...then you might like Tousei Gensou Hakubutsushi add

Both series have a handsome young male protagonist who becomes involved in a series of mysteries and crimes, many of which are supernatural in nature, while also contending with his dark personal and family histories.

If you liked Hakushaku Cain Series add

...then you might like Tousei Gensou Hakubutsushi add

Both are period pieces featuring a handsome and knowledgeable yet mysterious young man who becomes involved in unravelling a series of mysterious cases, including crimes. Both series also deal with the protagonists' backstories and complicated family histories.

...then you might like Cardcaptor Sakura add

Both series are about a magical girl who works alone to seal away harmful artefacts and who comes into contact with a magical boy infringing on her territory who is first a rival, then a friend, and eventually a romantic interest. Both series also include a miniature non-human sidekick, themes of reincarnation, and continuous character development, although KKJ has a stronger focus on the romantic aspects of the series while CCS is more about Sakura's personal mission to seal the cards.

If you liked Claudine...! add

...then you might like Paros no Ken add

Both series are relatively short vintage shoujo series about charming and well-loved protagonists who identifies as male but, due to social mores, class, and familial obligations, are continually forced into the role of their biological sex instead. Both series also deal with inter-class romance, though Paros has one primary pairing throughout and Claudine features a string of loves, and both have a historical European (or for Paros, pseudo-European) setting.
