If you liked Hokuto no Ken add

...then you might like Casshern Sins add

Both anime are TV series with an extremely strong main character who wanders wasteland in the world that once felt into ruin. They meet other characters along the way, and those characters are similar in both series in terms of tropes they represent. Naturally, most of such encounters in general enrich the personalities of those series' main characters.

If you liked Tailenders add

...then you might like Redline add

Both are anime movies (although varying in length, as for Tailenders is considerably shorter than Redline) that focus on crazy, bizarre at times, racing contests with high-speed vehicles that take place on alien planets, with flashy contenders behind the wheel. The main cast also feel somewhat similar in terms of dynamics between them.

If you liked Saint Seiya add

...then you might like Fuuma no Kojirou: Seiken Sensou-hen add

Both shows are animated adaptations of manga created by Masami Kurumada. They share many similarities, such as similar character designs, power progression systems, or the fact that in both of them, the main cast consists of strong young warriors who need to face powerful enemies. Their story structures follow, more or less, the same pattern. They also have similar themes (destiny, reincarnation, gods influencing the world of mortals, cyclic holy wars) and elements (magical and formidable items boosting the battle potential of the warriors, or cosmo, albeit understood differently in each anime). Keep in mind that Fuuma no Kojirou: Seiken Sensou-hen is a sequel show covering one arc, while Saint Seiya covers most of the arcs known from the original manga. I recommend checking out Fuuma no Kojirou: Yasha-hen before giving Seiken Sensou-hen a try. In Saint Seiya's case, there is no need to watch anything first.

If you liked Saint Seiya: Next Dimension - Meiou Shinwa add

...then you might like Dragon Ball Super add

Both entries are official sequels to the iconic, extremely popular shounen manga series that started their serialization in 1980s. Both of them began their serialization years after the original stories' serialization had ended, offering similar type of experience and the same genre, with the story (or, as in Saint Seiya: Next Dimension's case, art as well) written and supervised by the original authors.

If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Sousou no Frieren add

Both Violet Evergarden and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End are TV series renowned for their high production quality, featuring stunning art, animation, music, and direction. They feature strong heroines on journeys of self-discovery, grappling with human connection and emotions they don't quite understand. Main characters of both shows (Violet Evergarden in Violet Evergarden, Frieren in Sousou no Frieren) are strong and seemingly emotionless, but as their journey proceeds, they meet many new people who enrich their perspective about the world and, more importantly, human emotions. Their reason of wanting to know humans better is somewhat similar, as it has roots in an important person to each of them heavily influencing their choice. What's more, these two anime are set in a world after a huge conflict's end, in the times of peace. While talking about similarities, it's also worth of pointing out the biggest differences between these two anime. It's because that despite their shared themes, elements and the fact that both of them are set in fictional universes, the shows offer distinct experiences: Sousou no Frieren is a high fantasy story, while Violet Evergarden presents a fictional world reminiscent of the post-WW1 era in terms of society, technology, etc.

If you liked Berserk add

...then you might like Goblin Slayer add

These two series have male main characters who are armored, extremely skilled warriors that are zealously proceeding with eliminating monsters they had grown hatred to due to the events from the past. They are socially awkward and prefer to work solo at first, but after meeting certain characters, they start to change. And thus, as the story progresses they begin to be more open and even form a party.

If you liked Kimetsu no Yaiba add

...then you might like Kagurabachi add

Main characters in both of these two stories are male teenagers who want to, among others things, avenge their fallen relatives and get revenge. To achieve that, they become swordsmen fighting with katana and using special powers to fight their enemies (in Kimetsu no Yaiba's case those powers are tied with Breathing techniques, while in Kagurabachi's case - with blades enchanted with magic). Both manga series feature blood and gore during the action scenes.

If you liked Nee Nee, Nene-san. add

...then you might like Batsuichi de Nakimushi na Otonarisan add

Even though these two stories differ from each other, they share two things in common: firstly, they are both romance manga; secondly, their plot is based on two characters of opposite sexes meeting and developing their relationship with delicious food (in "Batsuichi de Nakimushi na Otonari-san" it's a female character cooking for a male one, while in "Nee Nee, Nee-san" roles are reversed and it's a male character cooking for a female one). As for the aforementioned differences, it's mostly the atmosphere. "Batsuichi de Nakimushi na Otonari-san" offers more lighthearted, even comedic vibes, while "Nee Nee, Nee-san" is a drama.

If you liked Panorama Toukitan add

...then you might like Omoide Emanon add

Even though both of these manga differ a lot from each other in many ways, they share two main similarities that make placing a recommendation link between them worth. The first one of them is their visuals. Both manga offer stunning, detailed and realistic art style with brilliant panelling. The other one is mature storytelling.

If you liked Aku no Hana add

...then you might like Shounen no Abyss add

Both stories share few similar points that are important in each of them, even though "Aku no Hana" offers more refined experience, while "Shounen no Abyss" is heavier on darker, controversial elements. These themes are: male main character being a high schooler stuck in his hometown in the rural area, who tries to escape it; depressed protagonist; suicidal thoughts; fateful encounter of a woman that heavily affects the main character's life; depiction of the slow downfall of a youngster; story filled with psychology.

If you liked Chi no Wadachi add

...then you might like Shounen no Abyss add

These two manga tell stories whose one of the main themes is a toxic relationship between abusive mother and son abused by her. They also are full of elements related to psychology and sociology. Their art style is realistic, with a lot of detailed close-ups, allowing readers to experience the story without only relying on dialogues ("show, don't tell" narrative technique).

If you liked Tenshi no Tamago add

...then you might like Saint Seiya: Tenkai-hen Josou - Overture add

Both anime, albeit very different, are full of subtle and thought provoking symbolism involving existentialism, faith and angels. These elements vary in intensity and character, depending on which show is being talked about (i.e. "Saint Seiya: Tenkai-hen" has more action scenes that don't place emphasis on the aforementioned things and, unlike "Tenshi no Tamago", its symbolism is more obvious, without leaving the interpretation of certain scenes up to the audience). What is more, they have good looking art and offer artsy approaches to their art style's presentation. All of that is accompanied with beautiful soundtrack. Their length is also similar ("Saint Seiya: Tenkai-hen" is just 5 minutes longer than "Tenshi no Tamago". Since "Saint Seiya: Tenkai-hen Josou - Overture" is a movie sequel to "Saint Seiya" TV series, it is highly advised to be familiar with it before watching it. "Tenshi no Tamago", on the other hand, doesn't require any prior knowledge about any other anime show to fully enjoy it, because of its anime original character.

If you liked Kogepan add

...then you might like Nageki no Ice Candy add

Both shows feature talking, pouting food as their main characters.

If you liked School Days add

...then you might like Keikenzumi na Kimi to, Keiken Zero na Ore ga, Otsukiai suru Hanashi. add

These two shows differ from each other in many ways, although they share few similarities. Both of them are TV series about high schoolers with stories featuring romance elements mixed with elements considered as social pathologies, albeit differing in form and intensity in each series.

If you liked (OO) add

...then you might like Afternoon Class add

Both entries are short animated movies originating from South Korea, presenting a fresh and surreal take on everyday real life issues (each movie is focused on a different one). They are full of vibrant colours and have flashy, smooth animation. All of that makes them artsy and extremely relatable at the same time. It is worth noting that they were created by the same author (Seoro Oh), that's why they might and actually do give similar vibes.

If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like 86 add

Both series are about a group of young individuals having to face a threat that may lead to extinction of the whole humanity. In Attack on Titan this threat is giants devouring humans, called titans, while in 86 humanity is under attack by robots from a faction called Legion. Apart from that, the one and the other shows are filled with good looking action sequences and are full of dramatic moments. One of themes appearing in them, even though their settings differ from each other, is the theme of "illusion of safety", with said safety being presumably granted by the fact of living behind the walls, physically separated from the real threat. It's worth of mentioning that those two shows feature gorgeous music composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.

If you liked Hellsing add

...then you might like Vampire Hunter D add

Main characters in both shows possess powerful vampiric abilities, albeit of different origin (Alucard from Hellsing is a vampire, while D from Vampire Hunter D is a dhampir, half-vampire). Those characters are also humanity's allies who fight with enemies, which are mostly other vampires and their minions. Both shiws contain dark atmosphere abd depiction of violence.

If you liked Vampire Hunter D add

...then you might like Castlevania: Curse of Darkness add

Both are manga series with dark and gothic atmosphere, focused on the topic of vampirism and everything that is related to it (i.e. demonic superpowers; vampires' minions, like werewolves; etc.). They have somewhat similar looking art styles, even though they belong to different series and were created by different authors (although I am aware that it might be just me seeing them that way).

If you liked JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 1: Phantom Blood add

...then you might like Vampire Hunter D add

These two manga series are filled to the brim with everything that's related to vampirism. Pivotal element of each story, even though both of them differ from each other a lot in many ways, is vampires themselves, presented as a threat to humanity and overall righteousness. They also offer graphic, but a rational amount of gore and horror elements, so that kind of scenes can appear without distracting the readers from the main storyline.

If you liked Claymore add

...then you might like Kimetsu no Yaiba add

Most of the main characters in both shows are the warriors that are members of a mysterious organization. They are assigned by it to slay man-eating monsters roaming the world, and protect the common folk in general. Both main characters are experienced by life, because they lost their families in a monster attack. This suffering became their main motivation to join an organization dedicated to training monster slayers. What is more, swords play an important role in these two series. In Claymore there are claymores, and in Kimetsu no Yaiba there are katanas.

If you liked Kimetsu no Yaiba add

...then you might like Jigokuraku add

Both shows are very different from each other, but also both of them are really solid shounen series that are greatly inspired by traditional East Asian themes and culture. Said elements play an important role in each show's worldbuilding.

If you liked Perfect Blue add

...then you might like "Oshi no Ko" add

These two shows do not fear of showing the dark side of the entertainment industry without any sugarcoating. Idols and idol culture are pivotal elements in their plots. That being said, Perfect Blue offers more gritty and realistic spectacle in a movie format, while "Oshi no Ko", a TV series, has a lot of lighthearted moments that might feel a little bit childish for people specifically looking for pure realism. Nevertheless, both series don't try to hide anything what is wrong with the entertainment industry and the way society perceives it.

If you liked Back Street Girls: Gokudolls add

...then you might like "Oshi no Ko" add

Main theme of both shows is idol culture, although each series presents it from different perspective. "Oshi no Ko" focuses on more realistic depiction of it by showing good and bad sides of it. It also includes believable interactions between people working in the idol industry. On the other hand, Back Street Girls: Gokudolls is more about presenting idols and entertainment industry in an extremely grotesque way and with the usage of dark humor.

If you liked Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki add

...then you might like Vinland Saga Season 2 add

Agricultural activities, such as farming, plays an important role in both shows. They are not pivotal, but rather successfully support general messages that these both animes try to convey. Said activities are presented with high quality art and animation, and in realistic way, offering quite soothing experience to viewers. However, one needs to keep in mind that in general those both shows, if we exclude similarities mentioned above, differ a lot from each other. Especially when it comes to the depiction of more drastic scenes (in example, Vinland Saga is way more graphic in this aspect than Wolf Children, which is - on the contrary - more timid).

If you liked Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

...then you might like "Oshi no Ko" add

Both animes, even though they have many differences, share similarities such as: similar quality of storytelling (the original creator of the source materials is the same, by the way); similar quality and intensity of comedy elements; main characters dealing with false and true sides of themselves and the way others perceive both of these sides; a lot of expressive, overly emotional reactions, coated with a lot of melodramatic moments.

If you liked Cyberpunk: Edgerunners add

...then you might like Trigun Stampede add

Both shows are sci-fi series with stunning animation quality and visuals. Everything is accompanied with great direction, audio, and voice acting. Characters in both animes have unique designs and personalities differing from each other. Main cast consists of likeable characters, with each one of them having their own goals and dreams.

If you liked Nononono add

...then you might like Aoi Tori no Shinwa: Blue Myth Overture add

Both stories are about siblings who want to achieve something in sport for the sake of their deceased sibling.

Both animes are short series about ASMR, featuring female cast and having a dummy head microphone serving an important role to their stories.

If you liked Vegeta Super Yasaijin ni Narou-hen add

Short commercials featuring Vegeta from Dragon Ball franchise in everyday life's activities, just doing them in his own way of handling things.

If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like Giganto Makhia add

Both series are centered around giants existing in the world alongside humans, and consequences (whether they are positive or negative) of such co-existence.
