If you liked Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

...then you might like Wan Sheng Jie 2 add

So... You should read my rec for Wan Sheng Jie (1) if you want the full "reasons why" but I also had to make one for (2) specifically due to the introduction of a new character. The Demon King guy in Wan Sheng Jie is pretty similar to Saiki in some ways. I mean, he just wanted to sleep, but people keep waking him up, and then he gets mad and starts destroying everyone. Let's be real let's not interrupt his nap from now on okay? It's really cool just how similar these two series are. IF you like one 99% chance you'll like the other because of the diversity of characters and "character motivations" ahah. Super good humor/comedy as well. I actually considered laughing but then I realized I would look like an idiot if I did that. Right, a slight difference between the two (especially Season 2 of Wan Sheng Jie) is the relationship between the main character and the love interest. In Saiki K., the main character isn't interested at all (ahem, probably tsundere), while the girl chases after him. In Wan Sheng Jie, the main character is definitely trying to win her over. Whether she realizes it or not... well... that's another story.

When I watched Wan Sheng Jie, I immediately thought it was similar to Saiki K. They're both Supernatural Slice-of-Life Comedies. Saiki K. has a school theme while Wan Sheng Jie has more of a roommates theme. And here are some similarity points: (I'll add more when I think of them.) Characters- There's a diverse cast in both, which are full of parodies. In Saiki K. there's the typical anime characters- delinquent, pretty girl, super energetic class rep, the stereotypical dumb guy, etc.. In Wan Sheng Jie there's typical supernatural creatures- the angel, vampire, werewolf, demon, mummy, etc. Their personalities are also hilarious and fun to watch. Character to character interactions are great. Story- Both have a sort of overarching plot, but focus more on short episodes that are like their own standalone stories. Wan Sheng Jie's stories are shorter though. Both anime are also hilarious and I would say they're 10/10 comedy. Puns- It's more the title and some character names and things like that. Wan Sheng Jie = 万圣街 or 万圣节 (one is the name of the anime, the second is "Halloween") --> and 1031 naturally stands for October 31, but anyway. Yes. Nice and punny. In Saiki K, "Saiki Ku---" is a pun for "psychic". Character names in Wan Sheng Jie are more related to the character species. Character names in Saiki K. are puns on psychic powers. For example "Teruhashi" = "Telepathy" and "Hairo Kinsehi" = "Pyrokinesis" so it's all funny and punny. I mean okay they're both great fast-paced shows. If you liked one, 99% chance you'll like the other.

If you liked Psycho-Pass add

...then you might like Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited add

Both Psycho-Pass and Fugou Keiji have similarities: Action, Police, Mystery and some Sci-Fi. Though Fugou Keiji has more comedy, while Psycho-Pass seems darker. There are two main characters who have to solve the same problems, but have different views on how to do so, leading to arguments. They still have to work together though. There are other supporting characters who are quite important to the story, even though it's centered around just a few. Both anime start off with episodic stories (probably for world building and character introduction) before having a long connected story arc for the rest of the season. As said before, Fugou Keiji has more comedy. One of the main characters has unlimited money and just spends it to solve problems, sometimes resulting in hilarious situations. Or maybe it's how he does it that seems hilarious. I don't know... comedy... not my forte. Psycho-Pass is darker, with more violence, exploding people, and deaths. I'm not saying there are deaths of important characters, but the 'villains' tend to die at the end of the episode, whereas in Fugou Keiji there was an episode where two teenage robbers had a freaky incident. but were otherwise unharmed. There's also the epic theme songs, but I guess that's not necessary for a recommendation. I still say, if you like one, you might also enjoy the other. Just ... If you can't stand violence, blood, gore, whatever, don't watch Psycho-Pass.

If you liked Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

...then you might like Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo add

There are many similarities... OP MC trying to live an ordinary life, hiding his OP power, going to school. Using a limiter to keep powers in check. A girl chases him around, and she happens to be this super cool/perfect girl who would never go after an ordinary guy.... except she does. And she's persistent. The main character has something he really likes - one loves coffee jelly (and sweets in general) while the other loves crispy noodles? Both are also comedies. There is also that one other guy who calls the MC "master" and bows to them. However, one MC has the ability to make people forget what happened, while the other does have hypnosis but.... doesn't have such a convenient power. They also struggle with controlling their OP abilities, which causes many consequences that they have to resolve. Some more differences: The Chinese one has more action, as just about everyone (from what I've seen) have powers, while in Saiki K. only a few have psychic powers, and the titular character happens to have a bunch while the rest are ignorant. Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo has way more action, and more sad moments, I guess. From what I've seen so far, very similar, 100% worth watching one if you liked the other. Although the Chinese one has some subtitles which are a little off, it's not that bad.

If you liked Noragami add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs add

There are a few important similarities between Noragami and Bungou Stray Dogs. Characters There is one character (a main character) from each series who has a dark, mysterious, blood-stained past. A hidden identity of sorts. This past slowly gets revealed to the audience, but whether or not the characters themselves know is unknown. However, some characters already know, namely the ones connected to said main character's past. A second main character (possibly the same one ;D) has a comical, goofy side, as well as a dark side. This personality switch is pretty cool, unless you're on the receiving end of the dark side - fortunately, this only really happens when said character actually needs to show their dark side for some reason. And there are the other characters who are entirely fed up with their antics. A third character (also maybe the same one, but less likely) is an orphan. Now, BSD has a lot of orphans. The main character's an orphan, the other main character is probably an orphan, the local doctor is an orphan, the evil main character is an orphan, so is the other evil guy, and so on. Lots of orphans. And there's one sad orphan in Noragami. Orphan may describe said character, in a way... There is that one (or two) cool lady character(s). A powerful woman who won't take "no" for an answer. And she has the skill to beat sense into you. Action Epic battles with superpowers. Action? Yup. Fight scenes? Yeeeep. I don't really know to describe this but... watch and see! If you liked the fights from one anime, I'm sure you'll like the other. :D There are chants for cool magic displays. In Noragami, one character has this ten-second long speech every time he uses his "ability," and in Bungou Stray Dogs just about every character with an Ability says it, accompanied by a cool display of light and strings of text. Just epic. Story/Plot- sort of One's about this girl who jumps in front of a truck to save a guy, and now she's a part of his life. Thus the adventure begins. One's about this guy who jumps into a river to save a guy, and now he's been dragged into his life. Thus the adventure begins. Sound similar? Just a little. (There's probably more awesome similarities but it's 12AM and I need sleep. Will update as I remember!)

Well, the main characters (at least one) is super powerful. While they hide it from basically everyone except the people they live with. Both are also very funny and have comedy and stuff. I'm bad at writing stuff like this... but yeah. Try it. You won't be disappointed (I hope)
