If you liked Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation add

...then you might like Rokka no Yuusha add

Both are mystery anime involving a group of people who are trapped and must find the individual amongst themselves who is the one responsible for trapping them there. Rokka no Yuusha is set in an action/fantasy world while Danganronpa is set in a school environment, but they both have many resemblances in their plot, specifically the debates they have about who is the culprit, though Danganronpa focuses much more on who is responsible for each individual case that pops up, while Rokka no Yuusha is just one big man hunt for the overall culprit.

If you liked Naruto add

...then you might like World Trigger add

They may have very different settings, Naruto is about ninjas with limited technology compared to modern times while World Trigger is science fiction, but their stories and characters are quite similar. The main characters consist of two boys, one girl, and one more experienced mentor figure. The protagonist is a boy who is considered to not have much skill. The other boy is quite skilled and the target of much discussion. The girl is where things differ a bit with Chika in World Trigger being a bit of target for the villains like how Sasuke is in Naruto. Still, both her and Sakura have a hugely explosive amount of strength that they display when not being protected. Jin and Kakashi are both strong and likable mentors and some of the best characters in both stories. They seem upbeat and carefree much of the time but can get very serious when need be. They are part of an organization that fights against other worlds/villages and evil organizations which plan to destroy them and use their power for themselves. There is a large focus placed not only on the main characters, but also all of the other members of the organization. On top of that, the ranking system of organization members resemble each other (A, B, and C ranks in World Trigger and Jounin, Genin, etc. in Naruto). There are regular tournaments used for members to get to higher ranks and the main characters and other characters strive to become better and climb the ranks in order to achieve their goals.

If you liked Hoshi no Samidare add

...then you might like Ansatsu Kyoushitsu add

A being who is planning on destroying the Earth after a set amount of time versus a group of people who are working together to stop him. There is a tremendous amount of group development over the course of both stories, though Hoshi no Samidare has more individual character development with a somewhat smaller group making the characters easier to remember and more likeable. Still, the antagonists' of both stories are also likeable and very overpowered and threatening. Despite them often talking normally with those who oppose their plans to destroy the world, they do not change their minds.

If you liked Katekyou Hitman Reborn! add

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

A wimpy and powerless main character gains powers from a teacher-figure character and slowly learns to control them. He makes friends, is awkward around the girl he likes, has people who stand in his way, etc. Both are action/comedies, though KHR starts off much more comedically and more like a slice of life manga at first.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou add

About groups of weird people. While the characters do vary a lot, both stories are told from the male protagonist's POV as he is thrust into this bizarre group of people. While Haruhi and Ritsu could not hardly be any more opposite in personality, it's the MC's reactions and narration of the events as he watches the female protagonist and other main characters that make these shows somewhat similar. They are sarcastic, critical, and objected to being with these people at first, but still grow to like being around them despite their quirks. These shows have similar mixes of comedy with a little drama, good animation, and a pretty good cast of characters: quiet girl, large-breasted girl (though their personalities are opposites), troublemaker, strange guy who just goes with the flow, and the protagonists.

If you liked Chihayafuru add

...then you might like Ping Pong the Animation add

Similar dramatic tones. The main characters got into the sport because of a childhood friend who they still view as their friendly rival.

If you liked Hells add

...then you might like Kill la Kill add

Unique animation styles, crazy over-the-top schools, family "disputes," and symbolism. They have similar feelings from all of the above things despite Kill la Kill being a full length anime and Hells being just a movie. While the symbolism differs for the most part, there are some symbols that are used in both (but saying what they are would be a spoiler). The characters and their interactions are also similar. Friendship, enemies, and family are large aspects of both KLK and Hells.

If you liked School Days add

...then you might like White Album 2 add

Dramatic high school love triangles with deceit, mixed feelings, and running from problems. School Days is much more mature with less emphasis on friendship and more on sexual relationships than WA2.

If you liked Nanatsu no Taizai add

...then you might like Stealth Symphony add

Both are fantasy manga about incredibly overpowered heroes fighting against overpowered villains. They use special weapons in order fight with their full power. The strongest of the main characters, Meliodas in Nanatsu no Taizai and Torama in Stealth Symphony, is usually calm and tends to not get emotional about things very often.

If you liked Akame ga Kill! add

...then you might like Nanatsu no Taizai add

People with weapons fight in a dark fantasy world where the government is corrupt and the people believe the heroes are the villains. Akame ga Kill is much darker and gorier, but Nanatsu no Taizai has it's moments of gore and drama as well. While both have some comedy and fanservice, they're not focused on too much. Both stories have characters who use special, powerful weapons to fight.

If you liked Mai-HiME add

...then you might like Soukou no Strain add

Good mecha shows filled with drama between characters. While both are mecha shows, the mechs are not the main focus of the series, the drama and character interactions are. Both have good animation for their time with good character designs and mecha designs.

If you liked ef: A Tale of Memories. add

...then you might like Isshuukan Friends. add

+ A girl loses her memory and has trouble making friends, but a guy is determined to become close to her despite that + While Ef is definitely heavier on drama, Isshukan Friends also has drama mostly from the memory loss problem - Ef has more romance and another story alongside the memory loss story involving a love triangle - Shaft's animation in Ef is much more unique and psyxhological than the softer and lighter animation style in Isshukan Friends

If you liked Outbreak Company add

...then you might like No Game No Life add

+ NEETS are taken against their will to a colorful fantasy world, but they soon realize they don't care about trying to get back to their old world (unlike most people in this situation in anime) + Both are a little ecchi (some younger girls as well as bustier women) but No Game No Life has more - No Game No Life involves geniuses using their gambling and gaming skills to conquer their world while Outbreak Company has an otaku using his knowledge of Japanese culture to influence the people of the fantasy world

If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like Black Bullet add

+ Violent action shows about humans surviving in an urban area protected by a barrier from mysterious creatures that threaten to destroy them + MC is voiced by Yuki Kaji and his parent/s died when he was young + Good soundtracks and animation with strong and enjoyable beginnings - Black Bullet is more futuristic and Japanese while SNK is less technologically advanced and set in a European setting

If you liked Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo add

...then you might like Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou add

+ A group of misfit high schoolers (though Kawaisou has some older inhabitants as well) live together and try to get along + Above average animation and character designs + Similar romance element + Enjoyable comedic moments mostly brought about the characters' quirks - So far, Kawaisou doesn't seem to have the good drama that Sakurasou has

If you liked Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin add

...then you might like Deadman Wonderland add

+ They both involve groups of teenagers being abused in prison and they're plans to escape. + They people must bond together and use their different skills to escape + Both are very dark and include some very mature themes - But Rainbow is set in the mid-1950s in Japan while the country is still struggling after WW2 and it is very realistic whereas Deadman Wonderland is set in a post-apocalyptic near-future where people can have supernatural powers. - The characters in Rainbow are much better and not as annoying; overall, Rainbow is a much better anime.

If you liked Watashitachi no Tamura-kun add

...then you might like Ginen Shounen add

Very similar feelings from love triangle school romance stories. One of the girls is an old friend of the protagonist and the other is newer. The relationship between the MC and the girl he's been friends with for longer is built up well and they have a strong connection despite being separated at times.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Onikakushi-hen add

...then you might like All You Need Is Kill add

+ A repeated situation full of killing and gore + Very psychological and the stress of the situation the characters are in takes a heavy toll on them - Kill is about a large scale battle of humans vs. alien-like creatures while Higurashi is humans killing other humans and curses in a small village

If you liked Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria add

...then you might like All You Need Is Kill add

+ A time period of just over a day repeats inifinity and ends each time with someone dying before everything is reset with most people not realizing the repetition is happening + The character who remembers every repetition uses that to gain knowledge and skills as they try to find a way out of the repetition - Hakomari is a novel series and has more than just the repeated schoolday while Kill is a manga that involves humans fighting against alien-like creatures for survival

If you liked Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu add

...then you might like Nourin add

+ Same random humor + Main characters are very similar and both shows have a love triangle + School setting where different groups in the school compete against each other (BtT has classes and grades and Nourin has different agricultural sections)

If you liked Ghost Hunt add

...then you might like Hyouka add

+ Mystery anime that mostly take place around a high school setting + The male protagonists are very similar in how they are fairly quiet and excel at solving mysteries - Ghost Hunt has more horror aspects and is supernatural unlike Hyouka which is more relaxed with it's slice of life style and lack of supernatural elements - Ghost Hunt is shoujo and Hyouka is shounen

If you liked Bakuman. add

...then you might like add

Both are stories about students who are planning what they want to do with their lives after high school. Some romance, but more slice of life and about the friendship development between the group of characters. Obviously looking at their lengths, Bakuman is much more in depth and goes beyond high school.

If you liked Akira add

...then you might like Elfen Lied add

Similar beings with "invisible" powers and their blind destruction to achieve their goal with the military trying to use and control these beings (but ultimately failing). The main characters are similar in how they go about trying to stop everything even though they are mostly powerless in the given situation.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo of the End add

...then you might like Gakkougurashi! add

High schoolers surviving, though much more drama in Mahou Shoujo of the End and Gakkou Gurashi is not ecchi.

If you liked Gakkougurashi! add

...then you might like Dolls Fall add

They seem like normal school life manga about cute girls, but it's clear pretty early on that there's is much more to it than just that. One chapter is all it takes to realize that.

If you liked Sundome add

...then you might like Kaidan Tochuu no Big Noise add

Similarities: + The biggest similarity is that the main character is the biggest pushover, awkward guy who can never voice his opinion at all (even the strange comedic poses they make when embarrassed or having trouble voicing their opinions are very similar); in Sundome, the MC develops like crazy after a while and the MC in Big Noise looks like he will probably end up developing a lot (though after only 4 chapters it's a little tough to judge it) + Both guys are already part of a club, want the girl they like to join the club (works a lot better in Sundome than in Big Noise) Differences: - (MAJOR DIFFERENCE) Sundome is extremely ecchi to the point of almost being a hentai with plenty of different fetishes. Big Noise isn't ecchi, though it has some drug references that keep it from being a shounen series. - The club in Big Noise is the light music club while the club in Sundome is all about the occult

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu add

Similairites: + The main two main male protagonists have almost identical relationships throughout the shows + Set in similar medieval worlds dealing with wars, men striving to become king, and some supernatural elements + While Berserk definitely has many more, both have dark and gory moments + End on two of the biggest cliffhangers in anime history Differences: - Legend of the Legendary Heroes has comedy as well as drama whereas Berserk is just all drama - The female protagonists are a little different in personality and relationship to the secondary male protagonist - Berserk is much more mature and graphic especially in sexual content

If you liked Nijigahara Holograph add

...then you might like Hikari no Machi add

Similarities: + Both are written by Asano Inio and are about the somewhat interconnected stories of different people/couples living in the same area + Focus especially given to certain kids in the story + Similar psychological and dramatic feelings

If you liked Subarashii Sekai add

...then you might like Hikari no Machi add

Similarities: + Both are by Asano Inio and tell the somewhat interconnected stories of a several different people/couples living in an urban area + Similar feelings (Asano Inio's manga all tend to have similar feelings though)

If you liked Akame ga Kill! add

...then you might like Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka add

Similarities: + Dark action/fantasy manga centered around groups of people fighting against each and again monsters + Similar art styles and character designs Differences: - Akame ga Kill is much gorier and darker with a larger character cast - Dungeon is more like an MMORPG style world (though it's not a game) with dungeons as well as a harem aspect
