If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Two highly detailed anime's in which unassuming youngsters uncover they are actually part of a massive conspiracy which unfolds as the series progresses. These anime's are very similar in content, yet being that both are mystery, it's difficult to put forward why they are alike without incorporating spoilers, so once you give this pair a change, this recommendation will make a lot more sence.

...then you might like High School DxD add

Schoolboys who doesn't really stand out ends up wraped up in an allience with supernatural, sexy, non-irratic girls who don't mind throwing themselves on this 'shy guy'. Both females have a problematic, current storyline the guy is now involved in.

OVA's which feature; ditzy, stand-out-cute female angels intruding on the personal space of the comical-abuse-victum leading male who she's trying to look out for.

If you liked Dragon Ball add

...then you might like Katanagatari add

Within both series, we see a smart, streetwise female on a journey who takes a clueless, strong male who lives in solitude out on 'her' adventure across the lands, searching for a number of specific items. The female leads are pretty sensible in comparrison to the female leads you see often in shounen's today, yet as serious as she is, she isn't immune to humiliation. The male lead isn't subject to buttmonkey and dispite his intellect being questionable, he does make you wonder at times. A partnership of brains and brawn - both being nessessary. Both are have a whole lot of conversation-worthy material.

If you liked Cencoroll add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

These anime's feature obscure character's who's 'origin' isn't quite explinied in simplistic terms. We also have a fairly similar leading male - a pleasant enough, but quite and slighly moody teen boy with a relivant 'hair antena'. Neither of these anime incorporate characters that aren't too importiant. The art is highly similar - very comic strip looking character design; not highly detailed within shading and proportions, but appropriot for the overall, trippy setting. The scenery is very similar too - not too detailed, bright and misty aswell city setting.

If you liked Texhnolyze add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

Both are unconventional anime's that rely heavily on; subliminal messages, trippy scenery and a lack of information, ensuring that the viewer pays full attention (multi-task and you'll miss something). You'll also find that there's a lack of archtyping as the characters are quite unusual, stepping out of any indication of 'type' and maming a name for themselves. There's a number of examples of fandissservice present in both.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

Here are some connections: - Both are psycological series's - Both feature a cast of school children - Pink haired girls are leads (how often does a pink haired girl play a minor role) - There's a curse and witch theme in both - We have two tales of 'rescuing' and unfortunate party - Both feature fight scene's in an obscure, art rich dimention - Dramatic clasical music features in conflict - Cutsie looking animal* familiars are present

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Franken Fran add

Fran (Franken Fran) and Count D (Petshop of Horrors) are out-of-the-ordinary individual very few people know. They can give people waht they want or feel they need, only, what it is they recieve can prove the stuff of dreams or nightmares. Both characters come across as exceptionally pleasant, yet on occasions, fairly sinister.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter add

...then you might like Soul Eater add

The similarities between these two shows come in the form of the tone... Both are dark and the amungst the more 'mature' shounen's avaliable: - we don't simply see a 'fountain of blood' to maintain a 'horror' element, there is actual graphic scenery - there we have crudeness present in both which doesn't rely on your typical cases of half naked ladies We don't have a single 'be all and end all' safe hero: - the 'good guys' aren't particullarly angelic - minors and new cast members establish themselves - 'bad guys' get their fair share of attention when not facing off against 'the hero's'

If you liked Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou add

...then you might like Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san. (TV) add

On top of both anime's consisting of 10 minutes of truely random and daft material, they share a number of key ellements... A young, normal person in a professional setting has no choice but to adjust to their new life - co-oporating with highly odd individuals whilst in the centre of obscure situation. Neither rely on what many of us are use to seeing in comedy anime - they don't rely on; bishounen's, the passive wimps, tsundere's, moe's and general harems situations - some of the plots are simple and realistic to some degree.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

A highly intelligent, politically minded teenage boy (with a superiority complex) who feels a strong sence of injustice in the world is granted the 'power' to make a difference - it's up to the viewer to decide whether or not he's a hero or villian. Both have a government theme. Both feature cutesie, not to street-wise, female leads with complex backgrounds. Both anime's are pretty much a fantasy set up - mecha's and death gods are unlikey to come into our lives. ;)

If you liked C³ add

...then you might like Guilty Crown add

Mild shounen spins on the 'magic girl' type. The leads in both are male characters who are pretty much average, using the abilities of the 'magic gilrs' sidekicks in order to save the day as they face off against threats that don't need to concern them personally - trouble seems to follow the famales.

If you liked Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro add

...then you might like Un-Go add

Both feature an opposite gender partnership inwhich a 'odinary' person is a detective - they are acompanied by an inhuman 'mystery solvers' who gets excited when a mystery crops up, they then use their special abilities to get to the bottom of a case. Within Un-Go, the mystery element surrounding pretty much everything is maintained in order to unravel later, whereas within 'Neuro, plot progression and character development are established at the start and continue threwout.

If you liked Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu add

...then you might like Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro add

Characters... Hare and Guu, aswell as Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro both feature a torment, inhuman character attatching themselves to an unfortunate youngster. The unfortunate youngster has no choice but to put up with their new 'friend' and is fully aware of this individuals vast range of supernatural abilities. Both supernatural characters litterally have more then one face and can portary a cute 'I'm just an innocent tag along' exteriour towards others. Both regular characters are fairly balanced individuals; they're not sickly sweet, they're not too quiet and they're not push-overs either. Story wise... Both have a good balance of; plot foundation, odd humor and character development.

If you liked Deadman Wonderland add

...then you might like Guilty Crown add

Highly familar elements feature in both these series's, you'd think it was delibrate... Both start with a pretty, mystery girl singing, an 'average schoolboy' who's life is about to change as he plays hero in a superpower world he's not too clued up on, the girl seems familar, the military element is displayed pretty much right away.

If you liked Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro add

...then you might like Hell's Kitchen add

These manga's both feature a troublesome, sadistic demon bloke coming to 'our world' in serach of a good quility meal; in the process, they attatch themselves to a teenager who has to put up with thier supernatural antics, whilst slowly being sculpted into what the demon wants them to be.

If you liked Soul Eater add

...then you might like Hell's Kitchen add

Both these manga's are supernatural, dark yet comical and both feature a demonic* male leads with shark teeth who enjoys eating souls -litterally, however, teamwork is nessessary in order for the series to be what it is. The two then contrast... Hell's Kitchen has a basic plot; becoming a head chef, whilst Soul Eater has a complex plot that consists of facing off aginst powerful, supernatural evil.

If you liked Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi add

...then you might like C³ add

Both these feature loli little demon girls who pretty much bring trouble to the human male lead who's passive enough to put up with whatever heated conflict come their way. Dispite not really being a fighter, the male lead goes into said conflict without question or knowledge - maintainging a "I'll protect everyone" mantra whilst using borrowed power.

Two supernatural animes that feature: - Loner teen boy who comes across as a snob to others holding the fate of others in his hands - His 'diary' is something supernatural and he dare not lose it - Blind loyal fangirls also feature in both - Deceitful gods

If you liked Toaru Majutsu no Index add

...then you might like Dantalian no Shoka add

Cute little girl = magic book directory; she's in the care of a male who doesn't know much about 'that sort of thing' but accepts his new lifestyle. The above is the most importiant element of both series's, however the simalarities end there... Dantalian features the two amins traveling together, meeting unusual people and solving obscure mysteries. 'Index is an action series which features a case of familiar shounen character types.
