If you liked Makai Toshi Shinjuku add

...then you might like Youjuu Toshi add

Both are based on novels from the same author, both are directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Both have a simple premise and flow, where humans must fight demons to reach a goal. Cool action with clean animation, gloomy atmosphere and great use of contrasting intense colors with shadows.

If you liked Dragon Head add

...then you might like I Am a Hero add

Both are apocalypse stories with a focus on characters more than the apocalypse itself. Both have psychological elements. Themes are different, but atmosphere can feel similar at times. If you want the story to have thriller elements, go for Dragon Head.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist add

...then you might like Gin no Saji add

If you've liked the way more popular Fullmetal Alchemist, you may like Silver Spoon. Both are made by the same author and so you can see both share a same-ish style of epic, where principal themes are thoroughly explored through characters perspectives, all while boasting quite the large cast. Themes, setting and tone differs, one is a(n) (agricultural) highschool comedy with strong coming of age elements while the other is a fantasy action-adventure with a strong mystery and conundrum at its center. Fullmetal Alchemist was more to my taste, but you may prefer Silver Spoon over it depending on yours.

If you liked Akira add

...then you might like Kaijuu no Kodomo add

Both are convoluted adaptations of a longer material. I think both movies are still very appreciable by their presentation; both have a certain mysticism to their setting and they capitalize on it to give it appeal.

If you liked Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

...then you might like Yakusoku no Neverland add

Both are thrillers including kid characters. Both have questionably intelligent characters. Both have good production values and their own visual directing style. I personally really preferred TPN to Erased.
