If you liked Kimetsu no Yaiba add

...then you might like Jujutsu Kaisen add

Jujutsu Kaisen is basically Kimetsu no Yaiba, but better. They both focus on a young man who reluctantly joins a group that fights supernatural beings (demons for KnY, curses for JJK), but: - Jujutsu Kaisen has a stronger main cast (writing and personality wise) - Jujutsu Kaisen has a more unique and fleshed out power system with more creative uses - Kimetsu no Yaiba REALLY drags in the first few arcs before it starts getting good. Jujutsu Kaisen is good from the beginning. - Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't have Zenitsu in it (instantly better)

If you liked Golden Kamuy add

...then you might like Dorohedoro add

These two series are so wildly different but incredibly similar at the same time. Golden Kamuy is a historical piece set in 19th century Japan, while Dorohedoro is a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy, but they have a lot in common. Both series follow an incredibly likable male-female duo with amazing chemistry (3 of them for Dorohedoro, in fact), and have great battle sequences that are amazingly dark and gory and feel like a perfect mix of ridiculous rule of cool and grounded combat. Every character is booming with personality, making it hard to dislike any of them, even the supposed "villains", and both series have a surprising amount of focus on food and cooking, as well as jumping from dark and gritty to goofy and lighthearted easily, and doing both very well. Golden Kamuy admittedly has some very bad CG at times, especially when bears are involved, but don't let that stop you from enjoying this great series. On the other hand, Dorohedoro blends in 3DCG and 2D animation very well and uses both to great effect.

If you liked Dragon Ball add

...then you might like Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken (2020) add

Dragon Quest and the OG Dragon Ball have a very similar feel, from the adventurous nature of the story, to the main character, to even the art style. This latter one is intentional, as Akira Toriyama was the original character designer for the Dragon Quest series of games and while he wasn't the artist for Dai, the characters are drawn in a way to evoke his designs from the games. If you're like me and prefer the original Dragon Ball over Z or later series, you're going to fall in love with Dai no Daibouken.

If you liked Dr. Stone add

...then you might like Appare-Ranman! add

The protagonists are basically the same character, but in a different scenario. While Dr. Stone focuses more on "science" (an umbrella term to justify Senku being able to do literally anything from scratch), Appare-Ranman focuses on the development of his MC through his experience with his first real friends and also his rivals, and how they change him from your by-the-books anime smartass to a genuinely well developed character who learns how to be more human through experience. Finally, Appare's cast of colorful characters is miles better than Dr. Stone's.
