If you liked Mono add

...then you might like Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi add

Ironic and funny CGDCT hobby (action cameras and cooking) comedies from the masters of the genre (Non Non Biyori and Yuru Camp, respectively). Both shows have very energetic editing, visual gags and aired in the spring 2025 season.

If you liked Yuru Camp△ add

...then you might like Mono add

Same author, same extremely detailed and serious depiction of the hobby the show is dedicated to, visual style and visual humor. The main difference is in the pace and manner of narration, because if Yuru Camp is one of the most famous comfortable and relaxing wholesome anime, then Mono is much bolder, more silly and grotesque. And yes, both shows essentially take place in the same shared universe.

If you liked Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san. add

...then you might like Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikaketekita add

I don't know how intentional this is, but Dark Elf is basically one big parody lewd version of Elf-san. The main characters even have almost the same names. If you like the idea and are looking for a more lewd version or, on the contrary, a more tame and serious one, then this recommendation will suit you.

If you liked Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. add

...then you might like Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikaketekita add

Both shows are reverse isekai curvy ecchi comedies about hot elven girls who end up in (conditional) real Japan and get to know our world thanks to everydude MC. Also, both shows are uncensored and consist of short episodes.

If you liked Kakkou no Iinazuke add

...then you might like Shiunji-ke no Kodomotachi add

A teen romantic dramedies about a teenagers rethinking their family bonds and life after discovering they are adopted.

If you liked 5-toubun no Hanayome add

...then you might like Shiunji-ke no Kodomotachi add

Everydude gets a harem of five sisters, which includes an extremely positive athlete, a friendly older sister, a sensitive shy girl, an explosive tsundere, and a pretentious queen bee. The analogies are pretty intuitive, especially if you intentionally tune into them. The main difference, again, is the family dynamic between the sisters and the fact that, unlike Go-Toubun, the protagonist in Shiunji is their adopted older brother, not their tutor.

If you liked Joukamachi no Dandelion add

...then you might like Shiunji-ke no Kodomotachi add

Both anime are adaptations of comedy manga about the lives of a group of different-character siblings and the development or change of bonds between them. The siblings' gimmicks and personalities in the two shows are more or less similar to each other, with some plot-dependent differences. Both titles also heavily abuse and tease the theme of incest, although in Dandelion's case the siblings are still blood-related and the relationship between them is much more nuanced. Overall, if you really like the idea of ​​either anime and would like something similar, albeit with some differences, then you may well like both shows. At the moment, the only noticeable differences between them, other than the blood connection between the characters, are the presence of a fantasy action and yuri bait elements in Dandelion.

If you liked Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. add

...then you might like Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai add

Kuroiwa Medaka is essentially a mixture of Komi-san and Kaguya-sama in different proportions. Just imagine if Komi was a queen bee instead of a shy introvert and fully embraced her bisexual popularity at school. While Tadano would be the last one she didn't get. And so they would constantly test each other's strength in a battle of wits in the spirit of Kaguya.

If you liked Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

...then you might like Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai add

The ideal female character, who is actually just hiding her true personality under an ideal guise, is desperately trying to make the male lead fall in love with her through various delusional schemes and, at the same time, avoid admitting feelings for him first. While the guy is really in love with her, but is desperately trying to hide it himself. Doesn't remind you of anything? Yes, the formula of both of these is almost the same, minus some nuances, generally maintaining the concept of a romantic battle of wits.

If you liked Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

...then you might like [Oshi no Ko] add

A very clearly emotional, unstable edgy teenager manipulates people and plays a double game to take revenge on his father for his mother and, having dealt with him, build an ideal future for his sister. Although the author was, at least officially, inspired by a completely different story, you can't help but notice how much the stories have in common. Starting from a very similar love triangle with an aggressive redhead tsundere and a cold girl who loves feminine bows helping the MC, and ending with the pronounced symbolism of the eyes. Just look at how both protagonists are depicted on the posters of their respective shows. In general, the shows have so many similarities that quite a few of them can even spoil some things for you for each other. The main difference is that Code Geass is a straight-up action show with a strong theme of violence, while Oshi no Ko is more of a dark thriller where direct violence is rare and always emphasized as something exceptional.

If you liked Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! add

...then you might like Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi add

Both shows, at their core, are light-hearted wholesome rom-coms about romance between an ordinary guy and handsome androgynous girls. Lots of witty gender humor and good-natured messages against gender prejudice. The only difference is the opposite dynamic between the protagonists and their love interests, and the fact that Tomo-chan is shonen and Goukon is josei.

If you liked Senpai wa Otokonoko add

...then you might like Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi add

Straight SoL romance with an androgynous love interest, which looks like yuri/BL. The difference is that Goukon is completely wholesome and light-hearted in nature, while Senpai wa Otokonoko covers serious topics and really deals with themes of gender and sexuality.

If you liked Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. add

...then you might like Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! add

This shows are wry, conversational high school romantic comedies that sarcastically comment on and deconstruct the differences between high school rom-coms and (notional) real life. Also, in both anime, the protagonist is a snarky and prickly, but sympathetic and kind person inside, who sincerely helps girls cope with their psychological problems. By the way, the author of Losing Heroines calls Oregairu one of his favorite LNs, so the similarities are most likely not accidental.

If you liked True Tears add

...then you might like Koi wa Futago de Warikirenai add

Both shows explore the wrongs and harms of denying your feelings for the sake of other people's well-being, as well as forcing romantic relationships. Also, both anime raise the question of the difference between romantic and simple spiritual attraction to someone important to you.

If you liked White Album 2 add

...then you might like Koi wa Futago de Warikirenai add

Both shows start out as very melancholic, but gradually escalating into drama due to ill-considered romantic relationships and the characters' insincerity in their feelings. The main difference is that White Album is built around collaborative musical activities, while Koi wa Futago is centered around pop culture geek interests.

If you liked Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru add

...then you might like Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! add

Both shows are meta romantic comedies that explore and parody the "childhood friend" trope of high school harems and rom-coms. Also, both anime are adaptations of LN from studio A-1. The difference is that OreShura follows a more classic formula, while Losing Heroines is built squarely around the experiences of lost childhood friends.

If you liked Yuru Yuri add

...then you might like Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan add

Surreal CGDCT gag comedy with occasional yuri jokes. It helps that the author of the latter is also an experienced yuri mangaka.

If you liked Dark Gathering add

...then you might like Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi add

Both shows are quite similar conceptually and aesthetically, being easily described as an urban detective fantasy based on Japanese urban legends and folklore. The main noticeable difference is that while both shows focus on young adults who discover that their friends have frightening knowledge and connections to the other world, Dark Gathering is more aimed at a teenage audience and a male POV, while Kaii to Otome is aimed at a more mature audience and tells the story from the perspective of a noticeably more older female lead.

If you liked Angel Beats! add

...then you might like Alice to Therese no Maboroshi Koujou add

Both shows teach you to accept negative experiences and changes as a normal part of the human experience and a necessary part of getting over trauma and moving on. Of course, both Alice and Bits deliver this in almost the same very bittersweet manner.

If you liked Gabriel DropOut add

...then you might like Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru add

Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru is essentially a rom-com version of Gabriel DropOut with an obviously more important and central focus on ships than CGDCT Gabriel DropOut. With almost the same division of angels and demons leads into the snarky “not as she seems” blonde Yamato Nadeshiko and the black-haired tsundere demon. The main difference is that here the two main characters are much more immersed in the school SoL with human characters and basically act out all the scenes together instead of 4 characters in Gabriel (I think you can say that Lily and Akutsu share not only the personalities and dynamics of Vigne and Gabriel, but also Satania and Rafi).

If you liked Shuumatsu no Izetta add

...then you might like Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo add

So, where to begin? Both shows follow a dressed in white similarly-named witch OP character (Suletta/Izetta) who uses nearly forgotten technology and skills to rescue a similarly-named princess (Fine/Miorine) who is her best friend from a political-military conflict. Both pairs of characters are similar in dynamics of a incredibly dedicated, but devoid of social experience red-haired simpleton x a strong-willed and possessing strong ideals, but at the same time emotionally immature princess. Although unlike Miorine, Fine is not such a tsundere. And in the end, both shows are pretty homoerotic, regularly walking the fine line between yuri bait-ish female friendships and ambiguous lady-knight relationships. In both shows, the head witch's abilities gradually become the focus of the plot and the focus of the war, despite the fact that initially the character simply wanted to protect a loved one. The overlaps between these shows only get stronger towards their finale, but I won't go into that in detail for fear of making it too spoiler, of course. In the end, we have two shows about a red-haired, socially awkward witch devotedly helping her best friend (lover?) princess win a political conflict, gradually becoming the center of the story herself because of the value of her abilities. It's possible that this was even intentional, as the writers of both shows are good friends who have contributed to different Gundam shows and even worked together on Geass. So, if you are interested in either of these two shows, then most likely you will like the second one.

If you liked Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo add

...then you might like Shinobi no Ittoki add

A show about a unique fighting school where an overly naive and ingenuous protagonist goes to study? Check. Representatives of different industrial and political clans study at the school, who turn the school for political ambitions and clarifications, whose version of a specific weapon is better? Check. A technology race with allusions to corporatism and the Cold War? Check. Is the MC paired with another character, with whom they has an imbalance in power dynamics and an unspecified platonic or romantic relationship? Check. In the future, the show turns into a political action thriller, where everyone forgot about the lessons? Of course.

If you liked Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei add

...then you might like Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo add

A futuristic combat school where students from different clans study, united by different versions of the same futuristic weapon? An arms race revolving around political ambitions and dynastic conflicts? An unwilling MC turns out to be the target of an forced engagement driven by their manipulative mother figure, who seeks vengeance against the world? Is everyone obsessed with trying to capture or defeat the MC because they are a potential doomsday weapon that could change the world, even though they are objectively nobody without it? The MC is an invincible OP with emotional issues while their partner is tsundere oujo-sama who is supposed to lead her family? The MC looks at her like she's an aristocratic boss when they actually care deeply about each other? Is the MC really the one for whom all this was conceived? Is the show obsessed with rebels and terrorists attacking a school as part of a more general world war theme? Does the theme of racism and class intolerance play a big role in the relationship between the characters? Are they really different shows?

If you liked Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo add

...then you might like [Oshi no Ko] add

On the one hand, Oshi no Ko is a thriller about show business, and G-Witch is a space opera with mecha. But if you look closely.. Both shows are edgy revenge anime for Gen Z that revolve around important bonds of siblings, heavy personality-altering emotional trauma due to parental murder, and sociopathic protagonists who are torn between "life as a human child" and the brutally crafted goal of getting revenge on someone. Both shows even share the same OP artist, with both songs sounding like a cross between a high-energy J-POP and theme from a cool action game. Of course, these shows are not mirror images and they have noticeable differences in both protagonists and attitudes towards romance, but they still overlap quite a lot in their themes and work with the emotional development of their MCs.

If you liked Shiroi Suna no Aquatope add

...then you might like Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo Season 2 add

Both show focuses on significant relationships between two female leads, whose second cour or season begins with their difficult reunion after an emergency that forced them to grow up a little and thereby change their lives in a certain way. Both shows also deal with the challenges of achieving lifelong goals through overcoming restrictions that prevent you from breathing free breasts, as well as the importance of having reliable and dedicated loved ones in order to achieve this. The difference is that G-Witch is an edgy space opera with actual yuri relationship, while Aquatope is dedicated to a realistic work experience and generally sets up its leads relationship as just an idealized female friendship.

If you liked Kuma Miko add

...then you might like Edomae Elf add

Replace the elf with a bear, make the girl look younger and remove the otaku theme, and you'll almost have Kuma Miko, except for a few nuances. Both shows are about how a lazy and spoiled non-human (an elf in Edomae and a bear in Kuma Miko) leads a spoiled life at the expense of a miko girl, to whom he is close as a relative.

If you liked Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. add

...then you might like Edomae Elf add

Both shows are very similar in their general idea of ​​"friendship between an immature hikkimori young adult woman and a teenage girl" except Elf is pure CGDCT and has no romance while Inari has a co-ed cast and focuses on romance characters.

If you liked The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls add

...then you might like Spy Kyoushitsu add

Different in their setting and genre, shows that are almost identical to each other in the general idea of ​​"a professional young adult male professionally trains memorable and diverse loser girls in an attempt to achieve their goals". Both protagonists are quite handsome and charismatic, unconsciously gets girl love but for various reasons, awkwardly unaware of their affection. You'll also find some of the girls' gimmicks quite similar, such as the playful narcissism of Honda and Lily, or the tomboy-ish machismo of Sibyl and Tada. Also, due to the number of girls, both shows have episodes dedicated to certain characters separately.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners add

As a hard sci-fi anime, Cyberpunk is actually a more edgy and darker version of Cowboy Bebop. Both shows are inspired by and reimagined Western sci-fi classics to show just how insidious and dangerous a world of ever-changing technology can be for humanity. Expect from both anime a fight of a truly good MC with a constant risk of drowning in cynicism and lack of integrity, criticism of the corporate mentality, as well as a good combination of action and light SoL elements.

If you liked SSSS.Gridman add

...then you might like Fuuto Tantei add

Both shows are anime adaptations of the iconic tokusatsu franchises. Moreover, when Gridman became a hit, many people expected Kamen Rider to be the next one. Both anime are also brimming with fanservice for fans of the original series, including music, signature clichés, and lore references. The main difference is that while Tantei directly continues the original show, Gridman does it more subtly, more willing to experiment with the overall ideas of his franchise.
