If you liked Servant x Service add

...then you might like Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

Office comedy and romance. Light on the standard romance cliches, but not to say there's aren't any. One of those rare slice-of-life shows about adults who act more or less like adults rather than over-grown children.

If you liked Servant x Service add

...then you might like Hoozuki no Reitetsu add

Light-hearted comedies about white collar work, whether that's the Welfare Office or the 5th Naraka of Japanese hell.

If you liked Ore Monogatari!! add

...then you might like Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

Wholesome non-toxic romance! People dating from the start of the show! Actually talking through problems! No manipulative nonsense! Humour not based around cruelly making fun of people! Healthy friendships as well as romantic relationships! Wholesome shoujo rom-coms light on the melodrama are not easy to find.

If you liked Wakako-zake add

...then you might like Isekai Izakaya: Koto Aitheria no Izakaya Nobu add

Shorts about tasty bar food! Wakako-zake is set in the real world and Isekai Izakaya in a not-so-real world.

If you liked Mob Psycho 100 add

...then you might like Hinamatsuri add

Unscrupulous adults using poor innocent ESPers for their own nefarious ends. Very similar sense of humour, more exaggerated in Mob Psycho.

If you liked Black★Rock Shooter (TV) add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Lots of allusions to a very important in-story picture book that links all the characters together.

If you liked Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Ore add

Anyone can be a Magical Girl as long as there is LOVE and Magical Girls comes in all forms as long as they can FIGHT the POWER OF LOVE. Magical girl parodies with tacky humour but sometimes tacky humour sorta works.

If you liked Katte ni Kaizou add

...then you might like Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de add

Chuunibyou extravaganza with a fast talking male protag in school in some form of club.

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Incredibly horny teenagers in an incredibly messed up alternative future world.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

- Love troubles - Teenagers - Similar art style around the face - Lots of crying (by the characters mostly, but idk I guess if you cried at one maybe you'll also cry at the other???) Most importantly, the MC has very similar backstories: popular smart kid who fell behind somehow but is back because of the sudden appearance/reappearance of a magic manic pixie girl. MC's more chill in FranXX though. AnoHana is easier to take seriously because there aren't overt in-your-face sexual overtones every shot, but the voice acting is smoother in FranXX.

If you liked Kuzu no Honkai add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Shows about frustrated teens for frustrated teens. Kuzu no Honkai is for XXX than FranXX though.

If you liked Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de add

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

The chuuni boy is actually the least powerful when it comes to superpowers in high school.

If you liked JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV) add

...then you might like Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de add

JoJo is the gold (platinum?) star standard when it comes to things likely to be referenced to by chuunibyou characters, and Inou-battle is no exception. Whilst I wouldn't recommend Inou-battle to JoJo lovers, but I do think anyone who's watched Inou-battle without watching/reading JoJo should correct that life-error immediately. You must have missed so many references...

If you liked Mahoutsukai no Yome add

...then you might like Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi add

- Special Mary Sue with super special power to see spirits, very kind very quiet very used to being alone - Sudden marriage to mean looking supernatural entity, but haha it's okay because they can be really good looking haha - Male MCs are really creepy and say unacceptable thing but haha it's okay because they're good looking and aren't human haha - Make lots of other supernatural friends along the way KnY protag is more plucky than MnY as a result of a more healthy upbringing, MnY protag is extremely emo. Both have tragic pasts enhanced by cringeworthy writing. KnY is set in Japan with Japanese supernatural creatures as the main supporting cast, and MnY is set mostly in the UK with a hotchpotch of Western supernatural creatures.

If you liked Kamisama Hajimemashita add

...then you might like Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi add

Doki doki romantic potential reverse harem situations with kind plucky female heroine and yokai/ayakashi/spirits/supernatural entities friends. Cherry blossoms and slow-mo kimono flowing scenes at every opportunity. Similar art style to boot.

If you liked Hoozuki no Reitetsu add

...then you might like Hataraku Oniisan! add

Referential comedy in a workplace setting. The kind of show where you either get the joke or you don't - and have to look up the references you didn't get, or worse go away feeling like you've missed a joke but not knowing where the reference even was because it's all very low-key. Not (usually) laugh-out-loud hilarious, more pleasing chuckles that leave you satisfied.

If you liked Bab Mook Ja add

...then you might like Ryoutei no Aji add

Nostalgia for times gone by, with a touch of old Ghibli-style magic.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Nice art and animation with lots of ecchi scenes, forceful and strong headed female love interest. Also similar style of onscreen text to accompany narration. FranXX is like Monogatari running on x0.1 speed with none of the quirky artistic charm. Theme and setting aside ofc.

If you liked Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! add

...then you might like Hataraku Oniisan! add

Light-hearted shows with terrible pun-based char names to bring a smile to your day. Also, questionable marsupial voiced by Sugita.

If you liked Shinreigari add

...then you might like Kokkoku add

- Small town mystery feel - Jazzy music that doesn't quite fit but the contrast in turn makes it good - Superpowers with a history (backed by powerful pseudoscience) - Mysterious cult The cast of Ghost Hound is on average younger than Kokkoku but the chars in Kokkoku aren't exactly very well written adults so there's v little practical difference.

If you liked Occultic;Nine add

...then you might like Kokkoku add

- Very large and diverse cast - Winding story - Funky music - Superpowers and mystery - Lots of death and blood - Tense atmosphere The art in Occultic;Boob is nicer but the artists behind Kokkoku has a better understanding of female anatomy. Both shows also share similar short-comings but if you were able to enjoy one, give the other a try.

If you liked Inuyashiki add

...then you might like Kokkoku add

Where one of the main characters is an elderly man with superpowers. Also similar atmosphere, gory themes with lots of violence and action. Not many shows around with elderly people (60+ or at least looking 60+) as protagonists but that doesn't necessarily the ones that are around are any good...

If you liked Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha add

...then you might like Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens add

Japanese character main cast featuring a Chinese hitman MC with family issues.

If you liked Hamatora The Animation add

...then you might like Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens add

Very similar busy city atmosphere with upbeat vibrant music. Similar character designs.

If you liked Chi's Sweet Home add

...then you might like Hataraku Oniisan! add

Cute cat shorts to sooth your frayed and exhausted soul. Chi has more baby talk, and HataNii has more animal jokes.

If you liked Gin no Saji add

...then you might like Hataraku Oniisan! add

Biology/animal behaviour references. Silver Spoon is about humans at an agricultural college where as Hataraku Onii-san is about college cats doing part-time work, encountering many other species along the way who all have their quirks. Both have a very wholesome feel.

If you liked Kuzu no Honkai add

...then you might like Citrus add

Broken teenagers, on screen kisses, toxic relationships, love drama, etc. Kuzu no Honkai at least had some character depth and nice art/music going for it.

If you liked Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

The original Parasyte manga draws inspiration from Nagai Go's classic Devilman, and this is pretty clear in both adaptations. Both: - Modernisations of an old classic - Boy obtains alien superpower that changes him, physically and mentallly - Blood and gore and death and dark broody questions - Character designs that look different from the run-of-the-mill anime style - E D G Y factor off the charts, inevitable really considering the source material Both can comes of cheesy at times because of the age of the source material, but Devilman takes that in its stride, almost mocking itself. Parasyte tries to be more serious which sometimes backfires.

If you liked Dead Leaves add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Ultraviolence in technicolour. Gratuitous and indulgent. Devilman for more of the ultraviolence. Dead Leaves for more of the technicolour.

If you liked Aggressive Retsuko add

...then you might like Hataraku Oniisan! add

Everyday working life with a CUTE AND FLUFFY twist. Adorable but playful shorts to sooth the mind and soul.
