If you liked Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga add

...then you might like Joshiraku add

A lot of self-aware humor and referencial humor related to the anime industry. There are episodes where the style shifts to poke fun at certain tropes and genres.

If you liked Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

...then you might like Aggressive Retsuko (ONA) add

Both present a great focus on office-life and coworker relationships, also sharing with each other a similar cozy art style and a light-hearted humor.

If you liked Akage no Anne add

...then you might like Alps no Shoujo Heidi add

Light-hearted and wholesome kids shows based on european novels. Both are the coming-of-age of a young european orphan, trying her best learn about love, fitting in, society, and etiquette without losing her touch with the beauty of nature and the beautiful landscapes of her territory. Both also directed by Takahata Isao.

If you liked Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

...then you might like Net-juu no Susume add

While the setting is exactly the opposite (romance on the workplace between flashy, otaku characters vs. romance online between more grounded-up characters), the two shows share a lot. Especially strong in both the theme of balancing real life and the "otaku hobbies" such as videogames, manga, anime, cosplay and so on.

If you liked Drifters add

...then you might like Golden Kamuy add

Almost identical shows. Two historical, violent seinen depicting a legendary japanese warrior whom had a near-death experience and is now transported in this world he doesn't know and barely understand, where he's helped by far more skilled inhabitants of said world in order to achieve his goals. A gore-y, exaggerated, almost 2-edgy-4-me (but in a good way) adventure which sometimes even goes a little emotional and funny, with interesting characters and premises. The only substantial differences are that Drifters has a far better CGI and is basically an isekai. But they're both still really good runs.

If you liked Devilman: Crybaby add

...then you might like Gegege no Kitarou (2018) add

While these shows don't have anything in common plot-wise, they have a similar origin: they're both manga from the 60s and 70s that got a "modernizing" reboot in 2018. "Modernizing" because while the story, characters, and pacing are kept untouched, they're both re-set to our days, updating also the conflicts and the criticism made to society to make it match with today's problems.

If you liked JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 4: Diamond wa Kudakenai add

...then you might like Persona 5 the Animation add

While Persona 5 is more similar to Vento Aureo, it has a lot of similarities with the previous Jojo chapter, too. The premise is identical: a group of students (with the help of some outsiders) fighting crime "indirectly", that is summoning their personal spirits to brawl against other fighting spirits, all of them with lots of powers and rad designs.

If you liked Redline add

...then you might like Megalo Box add

A virtually identical premise (a contestant that wants to leave the world of rigged-up matches in order to pursue his search for glory) is the first thing that links these two impressive works, alongside an extremely likable character, a futuristic setting and their shared dream to win the biggest, most important tournament they'll ever join. Both are love letters to both the sports genre and the coming-of-age subgenre, where your favorite lowest common denominator (JP in Redline, JD in Megalo Box) fights against the odds and many opponents in order to become someone and accomplish his dreams.

If you liked Mousou Dairinin add

...then you might like Death Parade add

Both present creative "parallel worlds" to ours, and are all a frame to show separate stories about human beings being psychologically proven and forced to deal with obscure forces, in order to obtain an epiphany.

If you liked Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga add

...then you might like Poputepipikku add

Two fun, stupid and creative shows, similar in both style and spirit despite being almost 20 years apart from each other. In both, you follow the nonsensical hijinks of a couple of cute and horrendously dangerous girls, while the producers and writers behind everything have one heck of a time in creating the most surreal scenarios and interactions you can imagine. After all, isn't this what anime's really about? Having fun.

If you liked Paprika add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Two works that surely share an eerie and uncanny feeling, related to the machinery and gadgets that drive the plot in the two stories respectively. However, there's still room for pleasant portraits of daily life and character development, that make it possible for the viewer to get really attached to the main cast. Both troubling, unsettling adventures with a tame use of a somewhat distressing, creepy imagery and a great use of pacing for enhancing the plot while it unravels to us viewers.

If you liked Made in Abyss add

...then you might like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

While way less provided of violence, gloom, and sense of danger, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou shares with Made In Abyss the setting of the story: two little children exploring a dangerous and unforgiving world, where their survival is at stake. However, SSR is way more relaxed, calm, almost cozy, settled in a post-apocalyptic world without dangerous monster and hunting quest; just two kids driving through the snow and the fallen human civilization. The sense of the amaze derived from how much the world is well-built is pretty much the same in both works, though.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Inuyashiki add

A battle of wits between two unorthodox character tropes that somehow resemble each other. One young teenager with deadly powers, no mercy and delusions of grandeur against a quirky, out of shape-y but extremely wise opponent, put in a thriller set in a modern world with the addition of some kind of supernatural powers and trinkets.

If you liked Ouran Koukou Host Club add

...then you might like Gakuen Babysitters add

Extremely similar art style and humour, almost identical highschool's club setting. Both a good laugh with cute looking characters and a lot of chill vibes with some lowkey, tearjerking drama.
