If you liked Hyouka add

...then you might like Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai add

An antisocial, emotionally detached cynical boy meets a cheerful bubbly girl filled with innocent wonderment that opens their eyes to the beauty of the world. They learn that life is about more than just making it through each day, it's about stopping and enjoying the present while it's in the moment instead of reflecting back on it when it's already gone.

If you liked Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. add

...then you might like Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e add

These two anime are very similar in their basic structure; both feature an indifferent main character who get involved in various situations and are forced to use their keen intellect to solve them, only to pass the credit for doing so onto others. While originally opposed to social interaction, they grow closer to their classmates only to find out that there is more to them than what meets the eye. As they continue to pull strings from the shadows, they eventually find their motivations challenged, and become forced to make a decision about how to confront others about themselves.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

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

Adults Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) is the primary link between these two series. They both deal with identity issues, self-deprecation, and reliance on others for happiness but have a very different take on how to approach these sensitive topics. NHK ni Youkoso has much darker themes but at the core of both is a story about companionship and love between two damaged people, forging new memories and forgiving old regrets that have molded them into the isolated people they've become and transforming them into the people they will be.

If you liked Steins;Gate Movie: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu add

...then you might like Kimi no Na wa. add

While also similar to the main Steins;Gate series, Kimi no Na wa and the Steins;Gate film are even more similar in that they carry many of the same compelling thematic elements. They both tackle the core theme of longing, longing for something or someone but not being quite sure of what it is or why you'd want it. They both also deal with the loss of important memories and how that can affect people who don't appear to have similar experiences. At the heart of each film is a journey, one that demands the protagonist's resolve until they figure out what – or who – is making them feel so empty and unfulfilled.

If you liked Hatsukoi Limited. add

...then you might like Tsurezure Children add

Both focus on more than just one couple, have (relatively) quick romantic progression, and have a cast of likable characters. Hatsukoi Limited is more streamlined with fewer characters and has a tighter plot, while Tsurezure Children alternates between a series of loosely related events that takes place with each couple. Hatsukoi also has a fair bit of drama towards the end, while Tsurezure does not.

If you liked Ao Haru Ride add

...then you might like Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji add

These are both Shoujo anime that feature a distant and crass male lead with a tragic familial backstory and an extremely energetic, persistent, and stubborn female lead that will stop at nothing to win the heart of their loved one. Ookami Shoujo is more comedy focused, and the male protagonist is particularly cruel towards the female protagonist but warms up as the series progresses. Ao Haru Ride focuses more on friendship and rebuilding what has been lost to time, in terms of emotions and relationships, and not so much romance. If you're a fan of one, you will almost definitely like the other.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

...then you might like Orange add

Both share very similar themes of friendship, regret, atonement, nostalgia, and love. They both feature a grieving group of friends that wish they had done things differently in the past, wanting to redo decisions that led to the death of one of their dearest friends. When they are given the opportunity to atone for their regrets and grief, they seize the moment; in Orange, they send letters to their past selves telling them what to do differently, and in AnoHana, the ghost of their friend who passed away appears and won't disappear until her last wish is fulfilled. Letters addressed to each of them also play a large role in both.

If you liked Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu add

...then you might like Koutetsujou no Kabaneri add

Both series involve a glasses-wearing main character being infected by a strange virus/being that threatens to take over their mind. However, in the nick of time, they manage to keep the intruder out of their bloodstream and save their humanity by cutting off their own circulation and blood flow to the brain. As a result, they are now half-bonded with whatever wanted to take over their entire body, giving them a unique set of powers. Both series are packed to the brim with blood, gore, horror, and action elements, set in worlds where humans aren't at the top of the food chain.

If you liked Sankarea add

...then you might like Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

Both follow a blooming romance between a regular human and a supernatural being (zombie in Sankarea, ghost in Tasogare) and the hardships that come with a relationship like this. They are both comedic, dramatic, and romantic, however Tasogare does have themes of horror involved as well, while Sankarea is on the lighter side.

If you liked Hamatora The Animation add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs add

Both anime follow a supernatural detective agency filled with colorful, unique characters with their own identities and abilities that any viewer would be able to discern. They have similar characters and story structures, as well as great action sequences with equally great animation. A fan of one would almost certainly enjoy the other as well.

If you liked Kokoro Connect add

...then you might like Kiznaiver add

Both anime focus on a group of teenagers who are connected by a supernatural element that forces them into a strange bond. Although it might seem tedious, pointless, and destructive on the surface, it eventually helps them bond over these new experiences by forcing situations only solvable by exiting their comfort zone and confronting the truth. They both also have elements of comedy, romance, and an interesting cast.
