If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

Abstract insanity in both of these classics, with Zetsubou being admittedly more "all-over-the-place" than Haruhi. Both contain great comic elements, and are highly entertaining.

If you liked Hachimitsu to Clover II add

...then you might like Clannad: After Story add

Clannad ~AS~ may actually be slower-paced than H&C II, with both being peaceful slice-of-lifes tinged with despair. Very emotional stories, truly masterpieces.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Kanon (2006) add

Both anime have the common theme of memory loss with dark undertones when the true nature of this amnesia comes to light. Both are powerful stories which leave one with a sense of wonder.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like ef: A Tale of Memories. add

Both of these great shows draw upon the various restrictions that force one to live in specific ways, as well as the true motives behind relationships. While NHK!'s mood displays a wider spectrum, both anime were both entertaining and had some good life lessons.

If you liked Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo add

...then you might like Higashi no Eden add

When one is given the ability to live frivolously, their entire life is put in perspective. Both centre around the theme of being granted something precious but expendable, and the morality and choices behind how to use this thing. Both great shows with a sense of mystery.

If you liked Koi Kaze add

...then you might like ef: A Tale of Memories. add

Both involve a theme of forbidden romances, or the want to protect one from the pain love can cause. While ef is more abstract in conveying deeper themes than the brutal honesty of Koi Kaze, both have a deep impact.

If you liked Koi Kaze add

...then you might like True Tears add

I feel Koi Kaze is extremely underrated on the site, largely due to the widespread ignorance over the depth of the themes covered in this anime. While Koi Kaze is undoubtedly better in every aspect, for those looking for a lighter, less honest anime involving forbidden romance may want to turn to True Tears. While I wouldn't normally recommend True Tears, it is an entertaining preemptive before watching more mature anime.

If you liked Cossette no Shouzou add

...then you might like ef: A Tale of Melodies. add

Both anime have dark undertones, with Cossette's being more apparent most of the time. While ef is more refined in artwork and storytelling, both are conceptually very well executed, and deal with dualism of relationships past and present.
