If you liked Seimei no Kagaku: Micro Patrol add

...then you might like Hataraku Saibou add

Both are shows about human body, with anthropomorphized cells as characters. While Hataraku Saibou usually focuses on how the body fights against threats in more action-oriented manner and with very anime presentation, Micro Patrol explains how human body works more thoroughly, is more cartoony, educational and aimed at children.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Hinamatsuri add

-insane comedies with some drama here and there -Japanese urban setting -bizarre scenarios -wide cast of memorable characters -notoriously lazy female main cast wielding tremendous power -homeless people

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Yuru Camp△ add

Both show off Japanese countryside in a very laid-back, almost meditative manner. Mushishi is very dramatic and supernatural, unlike Yuru Camp which is essentially a CGDCT show.

If you liked Re: Cutie Honey add

...then you might like Ai City add

Both are sci-fi flicks with bizarre events, cheesy dialogue, absolute chaos and destruction, mysterious evil organizations, superhuman characters, more cheesy dialogue, entertaining OSTs, and both are set in urban environment in vaguely futuristic Japan. Re:Cutey Honey does have significantly better production, and some ecchi and even yuri on top of that, while Ai City is just pure 80s aesthetic sci-fi cheesiness.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Kill la Kill add

A tomboyish girl comes to a weird highschool to find someone, then engages is a series of duels with various people from the said school. Kill la Kill is a wild cartoony experience with lots of fanservice, while Utena is a symbolism-filled LGBT-oriented shoujo drama.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt add

-Both are set in space, but not outside solar system -Both have great jazzy soundtrack -Both are stunningly animated

If you liked Ichigo Mashimaro add

...then you might like Mitsuboshi Colors add

Both are CGDCT comedies with very fun and diabetes-esque atmosophere. Both shows feature a cast of young girls doing and depict their shenanigans, often causing problems to the adults around them. Some characters are also very similar: Yui and Chika are both the straight man of their groups Sacchan and Miu are the bratty and hyperactive ones causing the most problems.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like Koe no Katachi add

Both are drama dealing with MC's incapability to connect with other people Both feature various people from their pasts bearing importance for their character developments. Koe no Katachi does have way more recent art techniques (and way bigger budget), while NHK ni Youkoso! is recognizably a decade older.

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Both (and especially their manga counterparts) are violent action/horror anime that are extremely important milestones in the history of the industry. Devilman (in version of its original manga) was a major influence on Berserk's monsters' concept, few plot points, and even on some characters.

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

Both shows feature two main characters wandering around -In case of Kino traveling and visiting various cities with distinct cultures. -In case of GLT surviving in the empty world after most of humanity's vanished. Both shows have a very dense atmosphere (GLT being more Iyashikei-y) Both shows have something to say. -In case of Kino, individual episodes often present what is author's views on human nature -In case of GLT, the main characters discuss topics ranging from edibility of various things to, fe, what "god" means, but in overall cute manner. Kino is overall way darker, while GLT mostly just feels good despite the apocalypse thing.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Mahoujin Guruguru (2017) add

Both are goofy comedies/parodies with a wide pool of bizarre side characters, sometimes parodying: other anime (more typical to Gintama), RPG tropes (entire GuruGuru, but some allusions appear in Gintama too from time to time) but they both mostly build their own jokes that the shows work with throughout their runs. Comedy in both is quite random in both, but more dirty in Gintama. Gintama gives more time to each arc, while Mahoujin Guruguru's pacing is extremely fast (which luckily works rather well, even though it is apparent even to me, who didn't read the manga, that way too much content is packed into these 24 episodes).

If you liked Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! add

...then you might like Mahoujin Guruguru (2017) add

Both are comedies set in RPG-like worlds, Konosuba more typical for these days (MMO influence, isekai tropes) while Mahoujin Guruguru is a time capsule parodying 80s/90s JRPGs, being based on a manga from that era.

If you liked Kaiba add

...then you might like Made in Abyss add

-both are adventurous -both feature a main character with no memories -nice visuals, chibi character designs and Ghibli-esque background art in Made in Abyss, cartoony everything in Kaiba -generally well looking, but for completely different reasons -both look childish at a first glance, but in reality are completely messed up

If you liked Yuri Kuma Arashi add

...then you might like Flip Flappers add

Both shows are artsy CGDCT with lots and lots of yuri, on which both have something to say. Flip Flappers is more story driven, action-based, while depicting MC's character development, while Yuri Kuma Arashi is packed with symbolism and its story is basically one massive metaphor.
