If you liked Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto add

...then you might like Saint Seiya Omega add

Both Star Driver and Saint Seiya Omega are shonen action shows with magical girl (make that magical boy) elements (complete with reused transformation sequences and named attacks) and a fight-of-the-week format starring a hot-blooded redhead with rare powers and parental abandonment issues stemming from an absent father. The main protagonists even have the same color scheme.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Senki Zesshou Symphogear add

Madoka Magica and Symphogear are magical girl series with the same intent that take place in a futuristic setting, and the protagonist in both is voiced by Aoi Yuuki. The enemies in each have a different art style compared to everything else. Both rely on shock value.

If you liked Heroman add

...then you might like Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto add

Both Heroman and Star Driver are optimistic mecha shows with an enemy-of-the-week format (usually aliens for Heroman and high schoolers in ridiculous outfits in Star Driver) and magical boy elements, and are both animated by Studio Bones. Star Driver has a little more depth, complexity, and sexual themes, but both shows are very idealistic.

If you liked Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Star Driver and Mawaru Penguindrum are opposite sides of the same Utena-inspired coin. Star Driver was written by a writer for Utena (Yoji Enokido), and directed by another Utena writer (Takuya Igarashi), while Penguindrum is directed by Utena's director (Kunihiko Ikuhara). Star Driver has a similar setting, episode structure, and school cult scenario to Utena, but is far more idealistic. Penguindrum has Utena's visual style (at least in terms of character design), similar themes, complexity, crazy plot twists, incest, and red herrings everywhere, but is far less pseudo-Freudian than Utena and Star Driver.

If you liked Pandora Hearts add

...then you might like Yumekui Merry add

In both Yumekui Merry and Pandora Hearts, the male lead who is fairly useless in combat makes a contract with a strong and amnesia-stricken tsundere female lead, and both shows have a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere.

If you liked Macross F add

...then you might like Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto add

Both Macross Frontier and Star Driver are mecha shows that combine elements from a variety of different genres, including school, comedy, and romance. Each prominently feature music, though Macross to a greater extent. Both shows are also centered around a love triangle.
