...then you might like Ousama Game The Animation add

While I would consider myself a fan of the survival game, psychological, horror and mystery genres respectively, I would categorise each of these titles near to the bottom of the barrel. Both include a weak and forgettable ensemble cast - primarily due to their 'large cast' syndromes - completely devoid of any character development, realistic reactions to plot-driven events and originality in both design and personality. Each series takes itself unduly seriously, with both suffering from poor plot execution and contrived character interactions, subsequently making prevalent and rehashed plot devices feel abrupt and unnatural. On a more light-hearted note, both posses decent OPs and EDs and can provide for an entertaining watch, as long as you do not go into either series with unrealistically high expectations.

...then you might like Dive!! add

Both TV series revolve around aquatic clubs in a state of quiescence due to lack of funding or regular membership, with each facing a difficult task of revitalisation in order to remain functioning. Each feature a predominantly primary male ensemble who ultimately work together to better themselves and their environment. Both anime have a respectively catchy opening and soundtrack, coincided by fluid and vibrant animation. It also helps that the overwhelming majority of characters aren't harsh on the eyes either~ while simultaneously providing substance and personality. Ultimately, both are a good watch!

If you liked Evangelion Movie 1: Jo add

...then you might like Blame! Movie add

Both provide intense action and voice-acting, revolving around dystopian worlds set into the future. While Blame! focuses on technology infesting a human world and the aftermaths which occur throughout the succeeding generations, Evangelion's plot has humans and robots coinciding and working together in order to stop the threat against humanity. Ultimately, Sci-Fi and psychological action galore.

If you liked Ano Natsu de Matteru add

...then you might like Kiznaiver add

While the plots of both series are dissimilar, both share a connection through the portrayal of the characters in a love pentagon (what even?) and the depiction high emotions that coincide with growing up and experiencing trauma. I personally believe they also share a rather homogeneous art-style. Both of these are rated highly in my opinion.

If you liked Sakasama no Patema add

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

These films showcase the development of a friendship and partnership between two teenagers in various dystopian worlds, with circumstances forcing both protagonists to empathise with one another through 'stepping into each others shoes'. Both make the viewer question life and try to find the meaning behind the plot, providing a throughly entertaining watch.

If you liked Piano no Mori add

...then you might like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso add

Both anime convey the growth and development of friendships, no matter how unlikely they may be, through the use of of one primary instrument and common bond, the piano. With touching plots both coinciding with traditional, powerful soundtracks- if you like one of them you'll most likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Barakamon add

...then you might like Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari add

Both anime are set in the rural countryside after the main characters move away from Tokyo to sort their lives out. Both feature a small, adorable child in which the protagonist grows to care for. Very similar styles of animation, comedy and general adorableness.
