If you liked Skip Beat! add

...then you might like [Oshi no Ko] add

Anime where the MC is a nobody at first, but then decides to turn into an actor to pave their way through the entertainment industry as a way to seek revenge. Both MCs are outstanding in their acting as well, surprising others.

If you liked Lord El-Melloi II-sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note add

...then you might like Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2 add

A magic school in London, a calm of manner teacher and students of this teacher who you get to know. Said teacher also has a close apprentice who has something special about her. The tone of the stories is a little different - I'd say Mahoutsukai no Yome season 2 has a coming-of-age kind of feeling, with its focus on Chise and her new classmates, while Lord El-Melloi II is more about unsolving mysteries -, but some may be able fill the void they are feeling after finishing one with the other.

If you liked Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon add

...then you might like Maoujou de Oyasumi add

Both are anime that feature a human and a different species (demon, dragon) coexisting in the same house and becoming each other's family. Be it Princess Suya in the demon castle or Tohru's presence in Kobayashi's residence, both these girls change the way of the household completely, making the ordinary daily life different and way more fun than it was before. Those two series also have a very similar feeling: Overall they seem to be about the pure comedy of the day by day life of the characters, but the undertones of it carry some layers of drama that will make you emotional when you least expect it. They're heartwarming and cute shows, and if you liked one, you will probably like the other.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like Kami no Tou add

I couldn't help but think about Hunter x Hunter when I was watching Tower of God. Both MCs start off their journey trying to find somebody that is important to them, and it involves tower climbing with different levels in each, tests and enemies to fight. MC also doesn't seem very strong at first, but he uses his head in the best way he can to try to solve some problems and find people to help him in his task.

If you liked Net-juu no Susume add

...then you might like Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta... add

Although Hamefura is an Isekai and Net-juu isn't, both anime revolve around games and have a kind-hearted, cute and funny otaku main character. The overall vibe that feature funny and healing moments is there, as is the romance. In Net-juu the MC pretends to be somebody that she's not (pretending to be a boy when she's actually a girl) and in Hamefura the MC ends up in the body of a villainess, which she totally isn't). Those girls have to deal with this other identity in their different ways.

If you liked Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge add

...then you might like Akuma no Riddle add

They revolve around killing a girl in order to grant a wish. While a bunch of people professional assassins try to kill her, one of them ends up deciding to protect her instead.

If you liked Kara no Kyoukai Movie 2: Satsujin Kousatsu (Zen) add

...then you might like Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - II. Lost Butterfly add

Mystery surrounds a series of murders. A loving boy and a quiet girl whom he likes. Eerie atmosphere and great soundtrack. Both by ufotable and part of the Nasuverse.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Natsume Yuujinchou add

Both anime have the same peaceful setting, and each episode there's a new mushi/ayakashi that our main character meets. Unlike other people who usually fear mushi/ayakashi, Natsume/Ginko (the MCs) try their best to understand them and their true nature.

If you liked Kaleido Star add

...then you might like Little Witch Academia (TV) add

A young girl is motivated to perform in a stage after watching a marvelous show during her childhood. In Kaleido Star Sora wants to become part of a Circus, while in Little Witch Academia Akko wants to learn magic so she can make people happy (with a Circus-like presentation). In their journey, they meet two great friends who will always accompany them and a rival, who they slowly get closer to.

If you liked Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

...then you might like Net-juu no Susume add

Those are shows that focus on romantic relationships involving gamers/otakus in their adult life. Both are cute, refreshing and have interesting characters.

If you liked Kaleido Star add

...then you might like Princess Tutu add

They're both original shows by director Satou Junichi that feature a girl following the path to achieve her dream. In Princess Tutu, Ahiru wants to become a great ballet dancer; in Kaleido Star, Sora wants to become part of a Circus. Ahiru and Sora can be sloppy, but get serious when they need to and are always ready to give their all for a presentation. Their relationship with their rival is also similar - admiration, rivalry and somewhat friendship and care.

If you liked Full Moon wo Sagashite add

...then you might like Kaleido Star add

Both involve a girl striving to make their dream (which involves presenting themselves to a large audience) come true - in Full Moon wo Sagashite Mitsuki wants to be a singer; in Kaleido Star Sora wants to be part of a Circus. The worlds they find themselves into can be harsh, but they love it nevertheless, and keep trying to get better. Through all that, they're supported by a spirit-like figure, who is always there to help/give advice.

If you liked Mujin Wakusei Survive add

...then you might like Kanata no Astra add

A group of kids/teenagers get stranded during a school trip in space. To survive, they must work together as a team and explore the unknown planet/planets around them.

If you liked Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki add

...then you might like Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou add

Those are movies about a single mom raising a child from a different species. In the case of Ookami Kodomo, the protagonist raises her two half-wolves kids; in the case of Maquia, the protagonist raises a human boy as if he was her own child. Those are one of the few anime I've ever seen that focus on how hard it is to be a single mom. Both are great movies, and will surely make you cry.

If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like InuYasha add

A 15-year-old girl is transported to another world. There, she finds out she has some sort of spiritual powers, and ends up helping people by fighting the villains of this other world. In Escaflowne Hitomi is literally transported to another world - Gaea, a steampunk-ish world with kings and queens, reigns and animal-like people -, while in InuYasha Kagome is transported to the Feudal Era, 500 years in the past, a world where youkai lurk around. Nevertheless, both settings are similar and the heroine finds herself in the same position of "transferred to another world with powers + now gotta help". Another similarity shared is Hitomi and Kagome's personality. Both girls have strong personalities and don't need to be protected at all times, finding answers to their own problems and showing maturity to deal with certain situations. They're also easy to identificate with. Aside from their personality and the situation they're in, as the story progresses we see more things in common between the girls: Kagome has a crush on her real world, and so does Hitomi. Yet, they fall in love with a new person after going to this other world.

If you liked Fushigi Yuugi add

...then you might like Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

A teenager girl is transported to another world and ends up in a fight between reigns. There's romance, fighting and lots of adventure. Both shows present very different and interesting supporting characters that you get fond of. The MC wants to go back to her world, but at the same time she gets invested in helping the people she met in this other world.

If you liked Mawaru Penguindrum add

...then you might like Sarazanmai add

If you like any show directed by Ikuhara and want something similar, you have to watch another show by Ikuhara. That's because his anime isn't similar to anything else besides his own stuff. Both Penguindrum and Sarazanmai are full of methaphores, beautiful magical girl-like sequences and great animation. Mawaru Penguindrum is about two boys doing his best to save the life of their little sister; it's a story about destiny. Sarazanmai is a story of three boys who are trying to connect with someone they love; it's a story about connections. They're equally insane and amazing in their own way, and the story-telling is very Ikuhara-ish: Hard to understand at first - but then, everything connects.

If you liked InuYasha add

...then you might like Kamisama Hajimemashita: Kako-hen add

A girl goes back 500 years into the past; people from the past aren't sure if the girl is a human or not; a youkai falls in love with a human woman and tries to become a human too (so they can be together); the girl that goes to the past and the woman the youkai is in love with have something in common

If you liked Made in Abyss add

...then you might like Yakusoku no Neverland add

Both anime feature children that have to go through some bad circumstances while they explore the world around them (In The Promised Neverland they have to, in Made in Abyss they want to).

If you liked Tonari no Seki-kun add

...then you might like Ueno-san wa Bukiyou add

Both are short comedy anime that are actually funny and unpredictable: In Ueno-san, because of her inventions; in Seki-kun, because of the different games he plays. White-haired girl is present and the setting is a school. Ueno-san is way dirtier than Seki-kun, though.

If you liked Moyashimon add

...then you might like Hataraku Saibou add

So you wanna watch anime and learn biology at the same time? Welcome. While in Hataraku Saibou we have actual cells living and working inside the human body, in Moyashimon we have a protagonist who can see bacteria. Although the settings aren't the same, both feature biology and microorganisms as important/main characters in the series. And, yes, you will feel attached to them.

If you liked No.6 add

...then you might like Banana Fish add

Anime that feature the dark side of society. Lots of action and lots of tragedy. Both have a "protagonists against the world" kind of vibe. In both anime the main characters meet by chance and spend time together, eventually falling in love with each other. Their relationship is never really mentioned or the main focus of the story, but it's clearly there as they face hardship and sorrow.

If you liked Princess Tutu add

...then you might like Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight add

Both feature a school for teenagers who want to become stage girls - artists. While in Princess Tutu the girls want to be ballerinas (and there are boys who want that, too), in Revue they can follow any path they like, such as acting, singing, dancing, etc. Amidst all that, some fantastical elements exist, be it a talking giraffe or a boy whose heart was broken in many pieces. Both also feature fights that involve dancing or other kind of stage performances.

If you liked Binbougami ga! add

...then you might like Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. add

Both feature a goddess and a human as its main characters who develop some kind of a friendly relationship. Binbougami ga! is more of a comedy, while Inari is more of a slice of life.

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

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

Children in a futuristic world try to learn more about the themselves, the world they live in and the past. Lots of mindfucks. Shinsekai yori is intelligent and does everything the best way it could have done, while Darling in the FranXX is dumb and do it the worst way. Yet, their settings are kind of similar.

If you liked Love Stage!! add

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

Otakus, who know more of anime romance than actual romance, falling in love - or having people falling for them. Those are shows about otakus that find out what the feeling of love is like. In Love Stage the love blooms between two boys, and in Wotakoi, between a boy and a girl. The comedy of the shows are really similar as well, and the side characters relationship are equally cute as the main one's.

If you liked Fune wo Amu add

...then you might like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

Both deal with old men that are somehow bonded to words/literature. Fune wo Amu is solely focused on that, while KoiAme shows it after a while.

If you liked InuYasha add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Yona add

Both anime feature female main characters that start off weak but gradually grow as they learn more about the world around them and their own abilities. Another similarity is that both those strong mcs use bow and arrows as their weapon. Besides that, both anime are great Fantasy/Romance, which, in my opinion, is a genre combination that isn't usually well made. In those two anime the feelings of the main characters are taken into consideration during their journey. So yeah, if you're looking for more strong female leads which feelings are taken into account in a world with fantasy elements, there you are.

If you liked Ano Natsu de Matteru add

...then you might like Kiznaiver add

Searching for more crazy love triangle/polygon/whatever? Then check Ano Natsu de Matteru. Both shows are about a group of teenagers living their summer with each other and experiencing feelings of friendship and love. Some characters really resemble each other as well, and it's hard to know who to root for when there's so many lovable people involved.

If you liked Koi Kaze add

...then you might like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

Age gap romance anime well made. If you think Koi wa Ameagari is doing it well, then you'll sure think the same about Koi Kaze - and the same thing the other way around. Both deal with age gap love in a mature way, making sure to present the problems age gap couples may face without fetishizing or being silly about it. Koi Kaze deals with the theme in a more hardcore way, since there's not only the age gap taboo, but also incest. Both are very melancholic, but Koi wa Ameagari no you ni is lighter since there's a slight comedy in the middle of the rollercoaster drama.
