If you liked K-On! add

...then you might like Bocchi the Rock! add

Both are slice of life shows about cute girls playing in a band, but I'd argue that's their only major similarity since they differ both thematically and tonally. Bocchi the Rock is somewhat cynical in tone whereas K-On! is played completely straight and sincere. The overall goals of the characters in the respective series are different, since Kessoku Band is more serious about music whereas Houkago Tea Time is more concerned with friendship. If I were to attach meme political buzzwords to my comparison to these two shows, I'd say Bocchi the Rock is "post modernist K-On". Bocchi the Rock can be seen as a "response" to K-On's existence, though I would not call it a subversion.

If you liked Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt add

...then you might like Space☆Dandy add

There are several episodes of Panty and Stocking and Space Dandy that are similar plot-wise and thematically (notably the high school episodes in each show). The concepts of individualism and freedom/rebellion from societal hierarchy are explored in each show, as Dandy puts it, "All is all". Both shows deal with sexuality, though Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is much more explicit.

If you liked Otaku no Video add

...then you might like Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! add

Both shows celebrate anime as a medium and feature the creation process of independently produced anime films.
