If you liked Great Teacher Onizuka add

...then you might like Golden Boy add

It has the same atmosphere and similar characters, except in GTO the protagonist is a teacher, and in golden boy it's a super fast learner. Same genre, same art style, both main characters are cool and funny at the same time in their own way, which is good. I personally prefered golden boy as an anime, shame it's only 6 episodes, although you can always read the manga of which there is a lot of. Golden boy used the "arc an episode" format so it's better suited as a -relaxing, switch off brain and be happy- anime because you don't need to follow a particularly long plot. GTO does the same thing occasionally too though, just not the whole time. I highly recommend both.

If you liked Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha add

...then you might like Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom add

Both basically the same thing: some badass asassin main character who goes around killing people. They have generally simillar atmospheres except Darker than Black also has some comedic moments. I guess it's slightly less serious. Basically, if you like watching people kill other people, you'll probably like both of these.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Natsume Yuujinchou add

Both are series in which ghosts or spirits exist and only certain people can see them. They are both extremely relaxing to watch, the sort of thing you'd watch an episode of before you go to sleep to give yourself a nice dream. Although Mushishi occasionally has unhappy endings and has a more wistful and dreamy atmosphere compared to Natsume Yujinchou's "smiley sunny everyone's friends lets help each other out and be happy" kind of atmosphere in which comedy is occasionally added. In my opinion occasional unhappy endings are a good thing as it adds variety, and I guess it suits the feel of the anime so don't immediately cross Mushishi out. Most of the time each episode has it's own plot line, and one arc rarely continues for more than an episode's length. In this case that also adds to the relaxing effect because you don't have to follow an intricate story line. I personally find the most relaxing animes the ones where you don't have to think. Anyway, both animes are brilliant, personally I prefered Mushishi just because I like the strange lovecraft sort of atmospheres and the protagonist is pretty interesting, unlike your generic anime hero...

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Katanagatari add

Watch these if you like anime which consist of mainly comedic conversations in between key events. I enjoyed both of these anime because they were almost like reading books but with action sequences here-and-there. Also, both have very unique art styles, so even if you don't like long, funny dialogues, it's worth the experience.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! add

Basically the same thing- Main character starts high school and meets a girl obsessed with the supernatural. They meet in a club room with friends after school and go on adventures and stuff, and then everyone falls in love yay...

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Trigun add

Both are set in the future. Both main characters are badass future-coyboys. Both contain good and similar music: country blues/ rock Both are based around either being chased by bounty hunters or being bounty hunters. As well as being awesome, each anime has it's funny moments.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

Both are super crazy, especially Gurren Lagann near the end. They also both include mech/ robot type thingys. Basically, whoever wrote either of them must have been going through some mental breakdown at the time.
