If you liked Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

...then you might like Kakushigoto add

Not only are the protagonists similar, both voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi and with almost identical designs, but some of the side characters in Kakushigoto also look a lot like characters from Zetsubou-sensei, often sharing surnames or having names that are anagrams of the names of Zetsubou-sensei characters. The style of humor is pretty similar, and Kakushigoto also has some drama.

If you liked Hagane Orchestra add

...then you might like Last Period: Owarinaki Rasen no Monogatari add

Light-hearted parodies of mobile games that are also advertisements for their own mobile games, set in fantasy worlds and with a self-aware humor. Last Period has a collaboration with a very famous franchise, while in Hagane Orchestra they cosplay as characters from famous franchises.

If you liked Hagane Orchestra add

...then you might like Otona no Bouguya-san add

Self-aware parodies of anime featuring merchants in a fantasy world. Both constantly poke fun at themselves and their own functions/budget.

...then you might like Super Zugan add

Both are about mahjong, with main characters who used to only play matches with their family, but end up playing against other people with higher stakes.

If you liked Hoshi no Koe add

...then you might like Hoshizora Kiseki add

Both are short sci-fi romances published by Comix Wave Inc., made mainly by a single person. They only feature 2 characters, and the stories revolve around space/stars. Hoshi no Koe, created by Makoto Shinkai, was pretty successful, and the director went on to work on a lot of movies with the studio later on, including Your Name. Hoshizora Kiseki never got that famous, but the creator, Watanabe Akio, worked as a character designer on a lot of different shows afterwards, like Kaminomi and the Monogatari Series.

If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Akudama Drive add

Dark and gruesome shows presented in an over-the-top manner, with bright colors and a very unique aesthetic. Riots and persecution are occurrences/themes in both shows, and a lot of people die in almost every episode.

If you liked Haikyuu!! add

...then you might like Nana Maru San Batsu add

Sports anime with a passionate and usually energetic protagonist, with bright colors and overall a very light mood. Most of the matches in 7O3X are individual, but the practice team matches bear close resemblance to the ones in Haikyuu. Similar pointy character designs.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha add

...then you might like Princess Tutu add

Two rival girls searching for jewels/fragments, one of which is being manipulated and will use them for evil. Both can get way darker than they initially were, with more psychological aspects than most mahou shoujo shows. MCs have a very similar hairstyle.

If you liked Kemono Friends add

...then you might like Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

Both shows start off with the main characters suddenly appearing in a new, unknown world. Initially, one of their main goals is to find a library, either to be around books or to find information about themselves.

If you liked Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou add

...then you might like Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

If you liked Blood: The Last Vampire add

...then you might like Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen add

A teenager is tasked with killing three powerful vampires in an urban setting. The sketchy art style and high-level animation in both anime make for some great sakuga cuts, with a lot of gore and blood. Main characters are also vampires to some extent.

If you liked Paniponi Dash! add

...then you might like Nourin add

Comedies directed by Shin Oonuma, with constant use of far-out shots, and chibi versions of the characters randomly floating through the screen. One of the main characters of each show is a blond teacher called Becky who is voiced by Saito Chiwa, which may or may not be a coincidence.

If you liked Paniponi Dash! add

...then you might like Hyakko add

Nonsensical comedies with absurd characters and a similar visual style. The director of Hyakko, Fukuda Michio, worked as a storyboarder on Paniponi Dash and countless other Shinbou anime, and his direction on some of the episodes resembles the style of those shows a lot. Torako from Hyakko is also really similar to Himeko from Pani Poni, both voiced by Orikasa Fumiko and acting as the main "boke" of the show.

If you liked Kantoku Fuyuki Todoki add

...then you might like Sore ga Seiyuu! add

Self-aware shows about the lives of people who work in the anime industry. Both include cameos of real people, have references to EVA in their first episode (Insufficient Direction is about the director of EVA, Hideaki Anno), and the ending themes are all from well-known, older anime.

If you liked Shingetsutan Tsukihime add

...then you might like Hitsuji no Uta add

Horror romance anime with vampire characters. Progression occurs very slowly, but ultimately there is some substantial character development. Both also have cool aesthetics, always with dark or greyish colors, and are well-directed. Brother-sister relationships are a theme in both.

If you liked Texhnolyze add

...then you might like Gunnm add

Both start off with the main character getting found by a doctor and having their body modified, which makes them stronger and causes them to get involved in the conflicts involving their town. Bleak cyberpunk settings where people are always getting their heads or limbs removed, with one better place to live located above the city.

If you liked Colorful add

...then you might like Tsurezure Children add

Really different plots, but the exact same structure, with short stories about different people always following the same theme. Each episode has a few segments, some of them self-contained, and some which tell longer narrative with characters that recur throughout the episodes. Eventually, some of the characters also meet.

If you liked Hametsu no Mars add

...then you might like Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven add

Really bad OVAs directed by the same gut, with a bad plot, bad visuals, bad cg, nonexistent characterization and a lot of edginess.

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Uchida Shungicu no Noroi no One-Piece add

Short horror stories with cool visuals. While in both the horror itself is sometimes weak and more funny than scary, the situations are still enjoyable.

...then you might like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

Two kids exploring a massive world filled with mysteries and secrets for them to unravel.

Cute character designs contrast with the reality they live in, especially in Made in Abyss, where some of the situations can get quite cruel and extreme.

If you liked Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation add

...then you might like Ansatsu Kyoushitsu add

Both involve a classroom filled with teenagers who are prepared to kill. Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is way more light-hearted, but has moments that are just as intense as any episode of Danganronpa. Both were made by Studio Lerche, and are directed by Kishi Seiji, with a similar visual style.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia add

Though the plot and structure of each show is completely different from the other, both succeed is conveying one specific point: scale. The enemies are gigantic monsters that are constantly putting the world and the lives of the characters in danger, and victory is never achieved easily, usually happening at the last minute after the characters have exhausted all of their resources.

If you liked Akira add

...then you might like Memories add

Akira and Stink Bomb (episode 2 of Memories) are both showcases of mass destruction with incredible animation and a similar visual style. Something happened to the main character that makes him cause chaos wherever he passes, and now a government organization pursues him.

If you liked Promare add

...then you might like Enen no Shouboutai add

Spontaneous human combustion becomes a common occurence, transforming people into demons who wreak havoc in town, and now a especialized group of fire-fighters has to fight against them. Both have really good animation.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Selector Infected WIXOSS add

Teenagers are selected and forced to fight in return of having one of their wishes granted. If they lose or choose not to fight, something really bad will happen. Main characters are similar, and everyone suffers a lot. Wixoss is not a mahou shoujo anime like Madoka, but the LRIG characters also transform.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata add

Saekano and one of the arcs in NHK ni Youkoso are about developing a dating sim to sell at Comiket, with otaku characters that have to deal with their own personal problems.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Sasami-san@Ganbaranai add

Reality revolves around the will of a single high school girl, and the world is always at the risk of ending, with characters always trying to prevent that outcome. Sasami-san includes Haruhi references.

If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Akame ga Kill! add

Two factions of opposing ideologies fight. Both commit acts that are morally wrong, and who is correct and should win is never exactly clear. There are a lot of characters, and a lot of them will die. Shiki has more horror elements, but both include some gore, though Akame ga Kill is lighter in tone.
