Summertime Render

Definitely same vibes; and this recommendation may be a spoiler for Higurashi but it has time loops, murder, supernatural-scifi merge, kids killing each other, a bit of ecchi.

An aloof main lead trying to conquer girls either in the name of life and death, or a mission. Kanojo Flag is a bit darker, but overall they have the same feel plotwise.

Hamatora The Animation

People with special abilities and groups performing missions. Not to mention all around action. Darker than Black is of course edgier and well, darker [no pun intended] but they have the same feel and pacing.

D-Frag!

A club composed of mostly girls, a tortured guy, and possibly a harem. Both almost have the same kind of comedy and are very lighthearted and funny.

Shinsekai yori

Nagi no Asu kara
|
A coming of age story about romance and opening their eyes to the world they live in. Changes and Growing up, truths and lies. They both have this supernatural feel to it, but Shinsekai Yori definitely has a darker edge.

Ano Natsu de Matteru

A human protagonist, an un-human girl, the childhood friend and the side characters to make everything going. It has that whole summer rural feel too

Arakawa Under the Bridge

Maria†Holic Alive
|
I think they both have the same kind of troll humor about how the main character is always 'bullied' by his environment. I enjoyed both of the series also because of SHAFT's hilarious way of producing every scene
If you liked
Maria†Holic
|
...then you might like
Mayo Chiki!
|
Almost exact same plot where the main character is stuck with keeping a secret about the a cross dresser's secret[In Mayo Chiki it's a butler dressing girl and in MariaHolic it's a crossdressing rich boy]. They almost have the same feel but I'm finding Maria Holic funnier, while Mayo Chika plays all the ecchi out

Summer Wars
|
The digital getting controlled by an AI/Virus and it immediately affects the real world, Kids saving the world. I have nothing to say anymore because when I watched either one of these movies, I immediately think 'it looks like digimon/summer wars!'. I'm sure you'll enjoy both

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica
|
'magical' girls, story about friendship and a hidden universe. When I watched the first ep, it hit me. This was like BRS, only more colorful and a lot darker[if that made sense]
If you liked
Strike Witches
|
...then you might like
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica
|
This might be a little far from Strike Witches but it's about 'magical' girls saving the world. I really like character development and interaction, which I think both series showcased smoothly. But if you're picky about the setting and plot, I think you should look other wise
If you liked
Seitokai no Ichizon

Seitokai Yakuindomo

A Student Council with all girls and one guy, but the only difference is that in Sitokai no Ichizon, the guy actually wants a harem while in Seitokai Yakuindomo, the guy tries to avoid being in a "harem"

Clannad: After Story

Both of these animes brought Happiness, Sadness, Anger and Hope successfully to the audience, both with relatable characters and true to life scenarios (Kanon's a little more supernatural though)

True Tears

ef: A Tale of Memories.
|
Almost similiar character profiles but in a different setting. Ef - a tale of memories is the smarter and more mature series though but True Tears has its moments. Both shouldn't be missed
If you liked
Hitohira

...then you might like
Clannad
|
This anime really reminded me of clannad mainly because of a drama club. They are both emotional but Hitohira juggles more of the emotions around the club itself and its members. If you loved either of the series i'm sure you'll love the other one. But i tell you, Hitohira is definately a junior of clannad in my opinion
If you liked
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

...then you might like
Seitokai no Ichizon
|
This really just had the same feel as Haruhi but more on parodies and comedy. I actually think Seitokai was better especially the last episode but overall their both good

K-On!

So Ra No Wo To
|
It really reminded me of K-On! Character wise and the animation of the two really looks similar. The only difference is the military atmosphere. If you're a K-On! fan, I think this is a whole new twist to your imaginations.
