Stories about characters raising in rank in the mafia, with betrayal and revenge as big themes of their plots.

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Gungrave add

While the settings are different (medieval world vs mafia), these two series deliver hard with themes of friendship and betrayal between the characters. They also follow a similar formula with a spoilerific episode 1 (which I would recommend to skip for both series) into episodes focused on giving backstory to the characters and then finally the current events in consequence of what happened.

Two stories with characters that dream to become astronauts and show the process of becoming one, the drama in those series are very emotional and nicely handled and it's very easy to root for their objectives.

...then you might like Heartcatch Precure! add

Over the top action scenes and very touching moments despite their solid comedy and exaggerated style. Teamwork, friendship and determination are main themes of these series. Different settings but in my opinion they can cross the barrier of dislike towards their genres (mecha and magical girl respectively) to be enjoyed by anyone. They also feature an epic climax to their stories that makes them unforgettable.

Magical girl series that feature touching episodic stories, mostly surrounding the classmates and family of the protagonists. They also share character designer and are made in a way for fun exaggerated character reactions.

If you liked Monster add

...then you might like Uchuu Kyoudai add

While they are very different in story and genres, these two seinen series shine at handling big cast of characters, making every single character memorable via backstories, their actions, personal quirks... everyone feels so alive and has their own lives, problems and objectives. That only helps to add to the realism of these stories where its clear that their authors knew what they were doing when it comes to psychology, philosophy and morals for Monster, and everything related to the process of becoming and being an astronaut in Space Brothers. They also take their time with everything without never being a waste (especially when it comes to the characters) and love to use the "going to reveal/say something important into jumping to another scene into coming back to that one", making said event have a stronger impact due to what happened inbetween. Space Brothers and Monster are definitely different stories, but they share these similar elements that can be really appealing to the viewer.

Both anime start with the motivation of the protagonist wanting to find his/her parent, who are considered legendary at what they do.

Kiniro Mosaic and Wakaba*Girl are very similar works from the same author, so, even if they were adapted by different studios, both have a really similar art style and reaction faces, they also share the same lighthearted comedy, full of absurdly adorable moments between the characters in a school/slice of life setting. The only difference is that Kiniro Mosaic has the standard TV duration, while Wakaba*Girl is a short anime, but that's about it, enjoying one of the two pretty much secures liking the other.
