If you liked Nodame Cantabile add

...then you might like Ao no Orchestra add

Both stories are focusing on personal growth of the characters and feature famous pieces of classical music, as well as conveying the enjoyment of playing classical instruments. In Nodame Cantabile it is piano at its center while Ao no Orchestra gives us the sound of violin. Ao no Orchestra portrays high school students working together to perform in an orchestra at the same times as being rivals. Nodame Cantabile instead has a slow developing love relationship between the university students at its center. Ah and they both as well as side characters also seem to work towards their personal goals and learn how to tolerate other people better:)

If you liked Carole & Tuesday add

...then you might like Bocchi the Rock! add

Both shows are music centered with unique but relatable and inspiring characters characters and fell-good friendship elements. Though there are differences such as Carole &Tuesday being sci-fi while Bocchi the Rock is slice of life, both have a great plot with some comedy elements.

If you liked Planetes add

...then you might like Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou add

Both series are sci-fi and make a superb watch. While Galactic Heroes has more of Star Wars vibe, Planetes has more realism (set in a not so far off future and there are no space fights). Plenty of drama in both series though.

If you liked Seirei no Moribito add

...then you might like Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

Both series: - are set in a fantasy world, where one character (who is a child) needs to be protected by an older guardian. - have a distinctive lack of black and white narrative creates very thought provoking but touching scenes. - Seirei ni Moribito is fuller on action, while Somali to Mori (abr.) has calmer more adventure-like atmosphere.

If you liked Dororo add

...then you might like Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

Both anime have an older character lacking human emotions growing closer to a child and acquiring emotions. Cute children present Conflict of demon/bestial vs human nature Humans portrayed in a grey tone - both bad and good present Will make you cry at least twice

If you liked Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou add

...then you might like Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

The plots of both anime series are quite similar. Two high school students compete to be top in their class, while learning more about each other and slowly growing into falling in love. Both series also feature prideful and stubborn main characters, who are admired by the rest of the student body. They can be charmingly dorky in certain situations, though. While His and Her Circumstances is an older uncompleted animated series, the manga will is worth a try.

If you liked Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou add

...then you might like Gakuen Handsome add

Both short series feature similar type of humor and simple ans short visual gags. While Sakigake! is all about boys delinquents, Gakuen Handsome jokes about a different aspect of being in a all-boys high school. Art style of both anime also sets a scene that resembles one another.

If you liked Claymore add

...then you might like Koutetsujou no Kabaneri add

Both series have very intense fighting scenes, murdering monsters and main characters with a hysterical (superhuman) strength. Apart from that, there is a lot of drama, betrayal, action and existential questioning. Claymore has only girls fighters in a medieval fantasy setting. While Kabaneri (turned monsters) are usually women (in the plot at least), the main character is a man and their universe is steam-punk feudal Japan like. However, the most familiarity of both of these epic series is in their vibe / atmosphere, which I found very similar. If you watched one of these anime, please check the other and I hope you won't be disappointed!

If you liked Fudanshi Manga Michi: BL wa Karada de Manabe!? add

...then you might like Mashita no Fudanshi-kun add

Both manga showcase the characters deeply interested in BL or Fudanshi, like the both titles say. Apart from the titles, these two manga have similar pacing, "unrequited love" setting in the beginning and characters unsure if the other is interested in real life relationship or is just a BL otaku

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

The character with supernatural God-like powers? check. High school comedy? check. Unusual or simply strange set of friends? check. Action? check, kinda. While Saiki is the level-headed protagonist, Haruhi is not, but the story-telling is similar (due to Kyon). Well if you enjoyed one, you would definitely like the other

If you liked Super Lovers add

...then you might like Bokura no Negai add

Step Brothers, Love Triangles, older & younger characters, drama with confusions, various sub-stories and guilty feelings. If like me you enjoy all of the above, you'd love both series =)

If you liked Love Mode add

...then you might like Challengers add

Both Love Mode and Challengers are BL classics. They were created, when authors were still exploring the basics of the yaoi genre, thus you can find a lot of 'cliches'(Though they created those cliches in first place). Both have a standard set: slightly slow, but cute and forgiving uke and passionately in love, persistent, but guilt-ridden seme. Love Mode showcases an incredible collection of deep characters' backgrounds and drama with comedy elements, while Challengers ventures in a more innocent, romantic comedy type.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Amatsuki add

Set in similar era, has supernatural themes and melancholic feel to it. Both deal with dark mythological creatures and unsolved mysteries. Amatsuki has more fighting, confused main character, time-travel and it is plot-driven. Mushishi depicts different setting every episode and has a master in 'mushi' as a main character.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Shounen Onmyouji add

Similar era and characters' costumes and Japanese ancient mythology themes. Both anime have supernatural beings and a main character with a power to see them. Shounen Onmyouji deals with ayakashi(aka familiar) and is action-packed, while Mushishi has a slower pace, 'mushi' and darker themes.

If you liked Toradora! add

...then you might like Ore Monogatari!! add

Both shows are romantic comedies with male main characters who happen to look 'different' and a bit scary. They also have a love interest, a cute girl. Both stories have lots of situational comedy. Main characters are quite likeable and resemble each other. Toradora has a bit more drive and story, while Ore Monogatari!! has lots of awkward funny romance

If you liked Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi add

...then you might like Omairi desu yo add

Both stories have monks as main characters. Though the roles of uke and seme reversed, the ukes are persistent ones in both series. Both stories have nice plot and feeling development. They have many chapters and are quite entertaining in regard to comedy/drama balance.

If you liked Oh! My Maid add

...then you might like Koisuru Maid Shounen add

Both manga involve relationship between master and their maid, where a master insists on a maid being dressed cutely. The styles are similar, as well as main characters. All ukes are cute type. Furthermore, stories have some similarities.

If you liked Otoyomegatari add

...then you might like Yume no Shizuku, Kin no Torikago add

Both stories are based in historically accurate setting and a romance. They both depict fates of women and how they deal what's thrown at them. Those are tales of love, strength and wonder. While Yume no Shizuku is set in medieval Istanbul, Otoyomegatari is placed in 19th century central Asia(Silk Road). They have similar atmosphere and very enjoyable stories. Otoyomegatari has an astounding art style while Yume no Shizuku Kin no Torikago has more action.

If you liked Hakuouki add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Yona add

Both animes have a female lead, who is fairly strong (at least mentally) and a reverse harem (lots of bishounens yeah!). Akatsuki no Yona's lead is princess while Hakuouki's is a commoner, however both stories have them overcoming life difficulties, growing stronger, surviving and having a mission. Both animes are set up in historical/fantasy worlds. Lots of action and thrill guaranteed.

If you liked Kodomo no Omocha (TV) add

...then you might like Glass no Kamen (2005) add

Kodomo no Omocha and Glass no Kamen have similar setting within the showbiz. While Kodomo no Omocha starts as a light comedy with main character in a primary school, it becomes more serious, with some drama elements. Glass no Kamen is a drama first, and have a heavier air about it. Both anime have got a love story in their plot and a main character working towards their goals. I enjoyed both shows immensely.

If you liked Papa to Kiss in the Dark add

...then you might like Love Stage!! add

Both main characters are cute and 'uke' (in many meanings of the word) boys. They both fall in love with actors. In Papa to Kiss in the Dark there are incestuous themes, though, be aware. Love Stage has a lighter atmosphere and more episodes.

If you liked Nurarihyon no Mago add

...then you might like Noragami add

Both anime have supernatural non human characters in both urban/fantazy settings. Their styles are similar - with figting action and comedy+ drama. Though Noragami is a short series, it resembles Nurarihyon no Mago, just characters have kami's (gods) powers.

If you liked Tactics add

...then you might like Noragami add

Watching Noragami I remebered Tactics, as they have similar feeling about them, action, and bishounen mystical kami/yokai/spirits characters.

If you liked Natsu Jikan add

...then you might like Bannin add

All stories are oneshots by Kunieda Saika. While they are realistic, many of them have the same sad feeling. The art style is typical for Sensei, with backgrounds amazingly drawn. Those are dramas firstly (However, there are comedyl elements, too). Not recommended for easily influenced (Especially stories Bannin(The Guardian) and The Sleeping Man), I personally cried.

If you liked Freedom add

...then you might like No.6 add

At first we can see the (lunar) city where people live in peace and boredom, until main characters don't discover the truth about their society. They seek FREEDOM for themselves and righteousness for the population. For that, they need to escape from The City. Sounds familiar, ne?)

If you liked Cluster Edge add

...then you might like No.6 add

Distant future, discrimination, action, experiments on human beings, bishounens as main characters - this is what you'll definitely like in "Cluster Edge" and in "№6" It will be to your taste. However, Cluster Edge is more similar to Gundam series (planes, robots), it concentrates more on the story-telling, not just fighting scenes.
