Two people with polar opposite personalities and their friends become closer. Going through daily life, they learn more about one another; forming incredible bonds that will last a lifetime. Some drama and unrequited love does tend to happen in real life. But it's how it is dealt with is what truly matters.
Our two main characters' love is stronger than E6000. I highly recommend both of these stories, they are amazing both with their unique animated style and voice acting talent.

Only introduced in episode 36 of 73, she is motivated to fight for justice and prove her mettle and thus develops a complicated relationship with the heroes of the show, mostly fighting against them. Her design is obviously inspired by Oscar.

The main characters are embroiled in a conflict that will determine the fate of humanity and the rise or survival of artificial life (e.g., bioroids, robots). Appleseed has dated 3DCGI, but you know whether this is a problem like every old anime. The ethical dilemma and philosophical discussions are very much central to the plot in Appleseed. Nier has a more subtle approach. Sci-fi is at its best when it explores important themes. If you agree with this statement then you might enjoy this recommendation.

Battle shounen anime have never declined in popularity and have continued to introduce new characters to a new audience. Where there is popularity, you can find uncut gems that wasn't given an opportunity to shine. Air Gear and The God of High School are perfect examples of this because they weren't given enough episodes to finish their stories and fans had a lot of love for their manga. The main characters basically want to be the best and win against everyone, but it is these characters and their conflicts that makes you want to watch more. If you enjoy it then you'll want to continue past the anime.

Two absurdist romantic comedy anime where the focus is on time travel and the different paradoxes it could create. Time travel here works in a similar way as well, as there is just one single timeline where the different mysteries presented are basically created by the other travels to the past.
Animation style is also experimental in both, the biggest similarity being the use of real-life imagery. Heck, they're both charming comedies that you shouldn't miss if you like quirky romcoms.

In this anime we're able to take a look into ourselfs, in the oyung years in our lives when nothing was clear and we were thrown to the world without knowing what to expect, search what we want in our lives and the styles are pretty different from the normal anime style.

Ace wo Nerae!

Hibike! Euphonium
|
I often hear people compare "Ace wo Nerae!" with the similarly-titled "Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster" for their surface-level similarities and while I can see that Ace wo Nerae! did inspire some parts of Gunbuster, there's a more recent series that feels like it took a lot more from Ace wo Nerae! in some more integral ways.
Yes, Ace wo Nerae! is about tennis and Hibike! Euphonium is about a concert band, but below the surface, these shows are extremely similar. In 1973 it was Oka Hiromi and Coach Munakata, in 2015 it became Oumae Kumiko and Taki-sensei. Both stories are about a character slowly finding passion in something that they previously didn't have a strong connection to. And without spoiling the details, I'll just say that there are pretty interesting parallels in the way that the plot progresses. Both series are incredibly compelling stories about passion and willpower.
Lastly, I would argue that Hibike! Euphonium (much like Gunbuster) is named after Ace wo Nerae! in the title itself. It's not as direct as Top wo Nerae!, but having an imperative command in the title that describes the central thesis of the main character's passion, as well as each title being an in-universe important part of the story itself...
Well, I'll leave it there.

Sentai Daishikkaku

Sentai Daishikkaku and Ajin Demi-Human approach the journey of the anti-hero spiced with the theme of immortality and regeneration in very similar ways. In Ajin, the demi-humans possess an innate ability to regenerate, rendering them nearly immortal. This unique trait becomes both a gift and a curse, as they are relentlessly pursued by authorities eager to research or eliminate them just like the Dragon Rangers tend to exploit this trait unique to dustmen during their staged battles with these villains. The black soot that emanates from both demi-human and dustmen while regenerating from their wounds is a stark visual reminder of otherness their bodies possess and the dangers they face in spite of this advantage. So all in all Sentai Daishikkaku offers a satirical take on superhero teams, where the villains often display similar regenerative abilities but with a comedic twist. Whereas Ajin delves deeper into the ethical complexities of inhuman experimentation and societal responses.

If you are looking for something to watch while waiting for the next season of Kusuriya then Yatagarasu will probably rub the right spot. It has a similar setting, great art and shape shifting ravens that are equally supernatural to Maomao's knack for solving court problems. There's princesses and bishounens as well!

Ore dake Level Up na Ken

Both feature a protagonist who is weak at first and gets ridiculed for it, but then goes through a traumatic experience that makes him want to become stronger. They also have similar personalities, they're independant and cunning and can be ruthless at times to serve their own interests.
Both shows also rely heavily on the incorporation of video game mechanics, like a lot of isekai do, but there's an attempt to "subvert" the tropes of the genre by adding plot twists or making the protagonist more morally grey.
They're both entertaining enough but not all that deep.

Both shows are completely over the top and the epitome of "edgy". They are completely focused on the characters (which are the weakest part of both shows).

- Both shows are full of strange buddhist/shintoist symbolism
- Both have female mc('s) that are chosen ones of some kind.
- Both have a unique premise but Arjuna takes itself a bit more serious and is more controversial while Houseki no Kuni panders more to a modern and woke audience.

Both focus on high power sorcerer male character who comes to own an elf-slave love interest. In both cases the OP demon lord male character puts on an evil act to make up for his inability to talk to women but is actually looking to free the slave long term.
Unlike Elf Bride,Isekai Maou is a harem romance comedy with two slaves: an elf girl and a cat girl. The show's comedy also derives heavily from ecchi situations. Still the romance is there and the situations are very similar.

Itai no wa Iya nanode Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu.
|
Easy to watch shows about a primarily female cast playing a VRMMO game with unconventional tactics/powers. Bofuri is more of a comedic, lighter story with more gameplay outside of the tournaments whereas GGO actually has a plot with a couple heavier details, but both still have a lot of focus on the girls (and the token male friend) having fun with the game and playing through competition arcs.

Girls & Panzer
|
Both are 'hype moe' shows with a similar reliance on crazy, unrealistic tactics/abilities and vast casts of token-y bit characters on school teams that compete against one another. Also, both mains are driven by a conflict between them and their terrifying older sister. However, Saki's characters are more individually developed, whereas Girls und Panzer mostly focuses on teams/rival schools having one core bit shared between the group to distinguish them.

Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei
|
Yuri fantasy/magical LN stories with similar dynamics between the mains (more specifically, an inversion of the other's power balance within the dynamic) and a similar 'isekai that doesn't really care about the isekai' aspect. Both stories similarly 'lose the plot' they initially establish, so assuming that didn't really bother you in one, you likely won't mind in the other.

Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume
|
Scorching Ping Pong Girls feels very Saki-inspired -- it's probably harder to find differences than similarities. Both are 'hype moe' shows where a group of girls team up in the topical sport/competition and use nonsense superpowers to beat down other schools with nonsense superpowers. It's like a sports shounen with the cast of a CGDCT. Other noteworthy aspects include lesbians, the same dynamic between the mains, and the obligatory girl with big boobs.

- both are well-made adaptations of a light novel

- both have a slower pacing, lots of slice-of-life moments, lots of talking and great writing
- beyond mere entertainment, the viewer has a chance to broaden their knowledge as "Apothecary Diaries" delves into the realms of medicine & poisons, while "Spice and Wolf" focuses on economics

- Both MC can travel back and forth from Earth and the isekai fantasy world
- Both MC sell modern Earth consumer goods to isekai world for gold to exchange for Earth currency
- Both have isekai denizens amazed by the Earth goods, attracting the attention of nobles and royalty
- Both MC start getting entangled in economic politics, and political politics.
- Both animes has firearm usage
"Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World" follows these premises a lot more, is more character and comedy driven, and actually goes somewhere by the end of the season.
Whereas "Sasaki and Peeps" threw in a lot of mismatching things which deviated everything from these premises quite often, thus never really delving too deep into things nor characters, and the season ended feeling like it never really went anywhere, and also on a cliffhanger.
