...then you might like Zoku Owarimonogatari add

Both have similar starting plots. Disappearance takes a much more emotional route than Zoku does but I think both pull off their stories and conclusions amazingly.

Both are yuris with really dark psychological aspects.

If you liked Hyouka add

...then you might like Koyomimonogatari add

Although Koyomimonogatari is one of the later installments in the Monogatari Series, it varies from the rest of the series in that it mainly consists of side stories which are objectively less important compared to the rest of the series. The first side story in Koyomimonogatari is what drove me to make this comparison as it parallels perfectly with Hyouka especially when compared to cases like "the hanging man in room 7." Overall I believe that Hyouka relates to Koyomimonogatari more than the rest of the franchise. This is not to say that if you enjoyed Hyouka go watch Koyomimonogatari and ignore the rest, but if you do choose to pick up the Monogatari franchise look forward to this portion, and in turn if you already watched the Monogatari series and enjoyed Koyomimonogatari more than the rest, I highly recommend Hyouka.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Hyouka add

Before I start I'm just going to say that I am using "Bakemonogatari" as a way of recommending the entire Monogatari franchise not specifically this season. Ok now, both of these series revolve around high schoolers and have problems that are being solved. Both also share a similar approach to storytelling as there are scenes in Hyouka where the animation changes style completely when telling a story or we see something happen on screen that isn't necessarily actually happening, it's just occurring in a characters head. This can also be seen in Monogatari, however it occurs more often in Monogatari than Hyouka. The key difference between these two, other than length, is that Monogatari generally deals with the supernatural, and Hyouka generally deals with things that could initially be seen as unusual but then can be described perfectly in a way that makes it no longer unusual. Both are amazing and you will most likely enjoy one if you enjoyed the other.

I recommend this if you are intrigued by the main character of either series. Both Hachiman Hikigaya and Hotaro Oreki are really unique in the way they think and problem-solve. If you are interested in the genre of the shows themselves or the general plot then this isn't the right show as the two have completely separate premises.

If you liked Hyouka add

...then you might like Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai add

Both of these take place in the modern Japan school setting and involve "solving" mysteries. The main difference here is that in Hyouka the majority of the mysteries can be explained through everyday occurrences whereas in Bunny Girl the mysteries are strictly supernatural and require further analysis especially digging into things such as quantum mechanics. Both are amazing and I think anyone who enjoyed one would enjoy the other.

Same show but a lot more tame and focuses more on the relationship aspect whereas Monogatari focuses more on the apparitions aspect.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

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

They both have a fair amount of violence but neither have it only for the sake of violence, they use it to further the plot and build upon characters. Also both have some deeper aspects to them making them enjoyable to a wide variety of people.

If you liked Deadman Wonderland add

...then you might like Kyoukai no Kanata add

I'd say this if you were more interested in the action aspect of the show than the romance. Deadman Wonderland has the same type of blood powers but has none of the lightheartedness expressed in Kyoukai no Kanata.

If you liked Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! add

...then you might like Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! add

Both made by the same person and have a similar style of comedy they they pull off well.

If you liked Kuzu no Honkai add

...then you might like Happy Sugar Life add

Both of these anime explore dark extremes of love. Aside from sharing a common theme both of these works contain heavy psychological moments which are used to further emphasize the mental state of the characters. Finally both of these deal with a main cast of characters that can only be described as terrible people.
