...then you might like Shigofumi add

Both are episodic, and are more about one-episode stories and characters that only appear once. Both main characters are expert gunslingers and are considered more observers of the world around them than actual characters.

...then you might like Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

Both of these are fantasy animes about young adults going on a journey and learning more about the world beyond their hometown. Princess Mononoke is more violent and contains a more solid storyline, where Kino's Journey is more philosophical and abstract.

Both shows star girls doing important work for the good of the world, at the price of certain negative alterations to their bodies (robotic implants in GG and losing the abilty to grow older in Shigofumi). They also both have structures that are based on smaller, one-episode plots that build up the story of the main chracters.

Both shows deal with "life after death," sort of themes and the afterlife colliding with the normal world to form some disturbing results.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Shigofumi add

Both of these shows are pretty misleading at first, with Shigofumi seeming like a magical girl anime, and Higurashi a harem/slice-of-life show. Both shows are also school-muder-dramas, and both shows have characters who scream "USODA" repeatedly.

A seemingly normal town with deep-rooted dark secrets that are related somehow to a dam, girls in shrine maiden outfits, students with crazy mental-illnesses, and sometimes disturbing imagery. All of these are things these shows have in common.

If you liked King of Bandit Jing add

...then you might like Ou Dorobou Jing add

Twilight Tales is the second King of Bandits Series, but it is a lot darker and more mature than the first series. Twilight Tales also has frequently changing art styles, but most of the same themes still apply.

If you liked FLCL add

Both are very random and crazy, with an intense pacing, with a more expirienced female character abusing a male lead.
