If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG add

...then you might like Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02 add

A somewhat sexualized female police officer with an abnormal strength as the lead. The exploration of her past and her nickname. A radical terrorist group. The focus of millions of refugees living from the destruction of its fictional universe. Despite the similar premise, the tone and execution is quite different. Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02 uses its broader political structure as a springboard for its cosmopolitan characters. Focusing more on its dramatic past, it pushes aside a lot of the political intrigue unlike GitS. It also has a much more wider spectrum of tones and genres and is more cathartic with its set of characters. Meanwhile GitS SAC has a more regimented set of characters and a much more thicker political climate with a more solid establishment for its setting. I would recommend the preference for either a space opera or a cyberpunk anime. Still, both are pretty good sci-fi ,action, drama.

If you liked Casshern Sins add

...then you might like Death Parade add

The two series have been made by Studio Madhouse with exceptionally well-done art and animation. Death Parade has no manga, however, Casshern Sins does not strictly follow its source material. The direction of both series are episodic in the first part and the latter goes to the main story-line that attempts to solve its mystery, but are actually more style over substance in terms of plot. Both present non-recurring secondary characters and a deadpan male protagonist. In addition, the two provide some existential thought for its themes and are basically one-trick ponies. However, Death Parade is much faster in pacing while Casshern Sins is much slower.

...then you might like Zankyou no Terror add

The two series follow the actions (and possibly the effects) on terrorism. Plot wise, both have a detective/ investigator that hunts down terrorists/criminals in the city of Tokyo. It follows a somewhat mystery that gets expounded within each passing episode. In addition, it explores the past of the characters, following themes of law and order. However, Zankyou no Terror seems a bit superficial with the usage of mythology and thriller, despite the very realistic setting and art style. On the other hand, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02 has a much more character driven plot and is surprisingly more human despite the heavy action scenes, the sci fi setting (though mostly takes place in Tokyo), and the large cast of aliens. Also, both have made blatant uses of historical events for their fictional universe. If you have seen either one, you'll obviously know what I mean.
