If you liked Zettai Shounen add

...then you might like True Tears add

For those who enjoyed true tears for the style of character development, Zettai Shounen may be the next logical series to watch. Both series employ a wholly action-based rather than exposition-based character development strategy: to understand what motivates a character, one has to look at their actions. true tears has a much more conventionally compelling plot, what with the love pentagon situation, but for those who get into the atmosphere and characters of Zettai Shounen, it can be just as compelling.

If you liked Zettai Shounen add

...then you might like Mushishi add

Both series deal with supernatural beings, and focus more on character interaction. In Mushishi's case, the series focuses on a new character every episode, and details how their life is affected by the Mushis. Zettai Shounen, on the other hand, has more of an air of mystery about it, and focuses much less on the interactions between material fairies/evils and the characters. They both have a very relaxing atmosphere about them, as well as a slow-paced plot progression.

If you liked Asatte no Houkou. add

...then you might like Hitohira add

Fans of Asatte no Houkou's interpersonal drama might find much to like in Hitohira, and vice versa. The highlight of both shows are their strong characters and their growth over the series. Both could be said to be seinen anime who draw influence from shoujo sources, due to their character-driven plots. Also, Hitohira offers more lighthearted material than Asatte no Houkou does.

If you liked Planetes add

...then you might like Futatsu no Spica add

Both Planetes and Twin Spica deal with astronauts, although in Twin Spica's case, they are astronauts-in-training. Both are serious dramas involving the emotional growth of the main characters, but Planetes offers far more in the way of comic relief. Twin Spica, on the other hand, is a fairly intense emotional drama with little in the way of comic relief. Fans of the more serious moments of Planetes will probably find much to enjoy in the oftentimes sad tale of Twin Spica.

If you liked Aria the Animation add

...then you might like Sketchbook: Full Color's add

Sketchbook ~full color'S~ was animated by the same company (Hal Film Maker) and shares several of the major creative staff, although the original mangaka are different. There's even a blatant, very hard to miss President Aria reference in the first episode. Aside from that, though, both shows are similar styles of slice-of-life (iyashi-kei, to be precice), with Sketchbook slightly more comedic than Aria, and Aria slightly more sentimental than Sketchbook.
