If you liked Hadashi no Gen add

...then you might like Glass no Usagi add

Comparing Glass no Usagi with both Hadashi no Gen movies - they both describe roughly the same period of Pacific War and a little part of its aftermath. Both deal with misfortunes of the family during military actions and are told from the point of view of the survivor whose autobiography they are based on. Both are antiwar and strongly advocate for peace.

If you liked Hadashi no Gen add

...then you might like Giovanni no Shima add

Very straightforward recommendation. The history of the family in the light of devastating historical events based on the real story. I guess Hadashi no Gen was one of the inspirations for creating Giovanni no Shima.

If you liked Omoide Poroporo add

...then you might like Omoide no Marnie add

They both have a similar vibe, showing the story which includes present and the past interleaved with a bit of sadness about things already gone. However Omoide Poroporo is a little bit more down to earth and realistic while Omoide no Marnie has more on dramatic and romantic sides. Also they share the first word in their name which means "memories"

If you liked Princess Sara add

...then you might like Perrine Monogatari add

There's a lot of similarities between those two, in both anime protagonists are very kind, clever, spiritually strong, tenacious young girls with good upbringing but at one moment appearing to have a lot of hardship to struggle with on their life path. In the second half of both anime both girls are living very near to the persons who eventually will help them to resolve all of their trouble but couldn't take what is theirs for the time being, because of the different reasons though. Also there are some minor but pretty interesting similarities, for example Perrine while living in France knows English language very good and that helps her a lot on her path, the same goes for Sara but in reversed fashion, while being in England she knows French language well. Also the both characters were initially raised in India. And of course it would be unwise not to mention that these both series are done by Nippon Animation and part of the World Masterpiece Theater staple, and thus they both are based on pieces of classical European children's fiction. But it also implies similar art style, voice acting, music and storytelling style.

If you liked Ginga Tetsudou 999 add

...then you might like Aoi Blink add

In both anime there's a protagonist going on a journey with specific aim but on his way travelling through various places where he faces different, mostly unusual people and types of society, where they help those who are in trouble. Though Aoi Blink towards the end focuses more on it's adventurous side. Also both main characters are voiced by Masako Nozawa who is also voice of Son Goku/ Son Gohan from Dragon Ball.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Black Jack (TV) add

Well, it seems like Mushishi manga was partially inspired by Black Jack and I guess that's pretty much clear, since they both are episodic, focused on extraordinary main hero who travels different places and tend to help others in trouble with his skills and knowledge (being doctor in one case and mushi specialist in other). Though there are certain differences, like Mushishi setting has more mystique and fantasy world rather than almost real world in Black Jack settings, and Dr. Black Jack having more deep and controversial personality than Ginko from Mushishi who is not so emphasized, similarities are pretty much straightforward.
