If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Dimension W add

MC in Dimension W is obviously inspired by Spike from Cowboy Bebop. It includes character design, choreography and initial settings such as job, friends, with whom he's not very close, troubled past with a woman. Character development takes different routes though. If you like lovable/pitiful idiots with superhuman fighting abilities, these two series are exquisite examples. Differences: art style; music (Dimension W sux, Cowboy Bebop has one of the best soundtracks in all animation); character development patterns; humor patterns; general feeling, you're left with after watching

If you liked Acchi Kocchi add

...then you might like Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken add

These two give very similar feeling of warmth and calm along with some innocent laughs. Art styles are alike as well. Both depict daily lives or moderately eccentric people. Acchi Kocchi is about schoolkids, while Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken is about people in their late twenties. Both have non-violent and non-invasive kind of romance, where people care for each other despite sharing misunderstandings, and in both couple's friends are a tad more eccentric than stated couples. Both animes are episodic with loose plot development. AK has full length episodes and Danna's ones only last for 3,5 minutes. If you like the sweetness of one, definitely, watch another.

If you liked Acchi Kocchi add

...then you might like Ore Monogatari!! add

Both animes are cute drama-less romance and friendship stories. There are no rivals, humiliation and other problems, popular with shoujo. Both stories are warm and fuzzy and, despite different art style, very cute. Bromance and friendship are important for both plots. Acchi Kocchi revolves around a bigger group of friends, but doesn't peek too deep in their personalities. Ore Monogatari has just 3 leading characters and shows their relationships in more detail. I'd say Acchi Kocchi is 100% for both genders and Ore Monogatari is better suited for girls and guys, who like shoujo specifically.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha add

Imagine 2 completely opposite plots, give them opposite mood and setting but involve somewhat similar characters and outstanding value. That would be Mushi-shi and Darker Than Black. One is almost exact opposite of another, and both are captivating in manner of its own. Main characters look somewhat same and are more (Hei) or less (Ginko) insane. Besides both are very composed, mature and logical. Both may seem older than actually are and are brilliant professionals in own fields. Difference lies in their approach and goals. While Mushishi's character longs to light, DTB's one is forcing self deeper and deeper in darkness. Other similarities: 1. outstanding art value. DTB has amazing choreography and Mushi-shi elates you with spectacular backgrounds, - extremely lovable main characters, 2. episodic stories. You can watch just one random episode and still understand it fully without need of following whole plot line. Differences: 1. mood. While Mushi-shi, despite all pictured hardships, leaves you warm inside, Darker Than Black attempts to eat your soul out, 2. music and sound. Mushi-shi sounds like temple in early morning and DTB is just another action oriented anime. I'd say voice acting is better in former too. Ginko was given amazing manner of speech, 3. comedy. There is none in Mushi-shi but there is a bit in DTB. Reason to watch both and why I expect you to like: 1. They both are very moody. 2. They are just like opposite reflections of one another. 3. It is interesting to see how goal setting can lead one personout from most dreadful situation and help find peace and make another literally submerge himself in hell. Watching both series might inspire some deep thinking.
