If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like Sidonia no Kishi add

Very similar in content, but Shingeki is far more ambitious and original. Plus Shingeki has really unique, hyperdramatic art that is beautiful and high budget, while Sidonia has the patented Netflix, low frame-rate 3D style that is hard for me to get into.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Shingeki no Kyojin add

Similar settings: vaguely fantastic medieval Europe in the throes of unstable governance.

If you liked One Punch Man add

...then you might like Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

Nihilist overpowered leads.

If you liked Tentai Senshi Sunred add

...then you might like Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

Hilarious, short-form comedies that feature extraordinary main characters leading normal lives. Lots of anti-humor and fourth wall breaks.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 add

Middling super robot shows loaded with pretension and melodrama.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu add

Similar style and narrative structures.

If you liked Ergo Proxy add

...then you might like Psycho-Pass add

The best of dystopian sci-fi series. Psycho-Pass is a bit more of a psychological thriller with more twists and action from episode to episode, while Ergo Proxy is much more reflective, subdued, and quiet.

Both on the quiet side, taking place in technologically advanced cultures. Dystopian cyberpunk that focuses on the interaction between the state, technology, and rebellion.

If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Both can at turns feel like a slice of life series, but splice in more compelling narratives that keeps you engaged. Also the settings (contemporary urban Japan), make the atmosphere feel similar in both.

If you liked Paprika add

...then you might like Mononoke add

Similarly insane art styles, even though the art styles themselves are pretty distinct from each other. Lots of bright colors in both.

If you liked Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi add

...then you might like Mononoke add

Despite their disparate art styles, Spirited Away and Mononoke have very similar atmospheres. This in part stems from more traditional Japanese influences (themes centering around Shinto, social structure, and other worlds, etc.) mixing with more contemporary aesthetic and narrative features of anime. Also, while I am sure there are more natural comparisons, the fact that these are both so strong makes the watching experience hard to equal in both cases.

If you liked Zankyou no Terror add

...then you might like B: The Beginning add

extremely similar shows, in which conventions of good and bad are blurred.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like B: The Beginning add

pretty similar in some of the content of each series. B has more battle-type action, where DN is more exposition.

If you liked Psycho-Pass add

...then you might like B: The Beginning add

tightly crafted, god tier cat and mouse series. both fairly dark.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

Both are high quality shonen that circle around the process of realizing ones true strength through competitions and compelling foes. While both maintain the characteristic shonen trait of an MC who is headstrong and naively noble, their respective interactions with their environments makes for two exciting series.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Space☆Dandy add

Two of the most psychedelic series I have come across. Fast paced, inventive, and beautiful. Space Dandy leans more towards the episodic and aphoristic, while FLCL is raw and unbridled.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Zankyou no Terror add

Both god tier cat and mouse series. Hyper-cerebral. Extremely compelling.

If you liked Juubee Ninpuuchou add

...then you might like Afro Samurai add

Similar narrative structure, and action sequences. Both decent, yet ultimately superficial. Both a tier below a series like Samurai Champloo.
