Two super fun, hype mecha series starring a rebellious crew against a tyrannical regime. There's aliens, romance, coming of age, a mix of fantasy and sci fi, action, rule of cool, and a hip hop + rock and roll vibe.

If you liked Dead Leaves add

...then you might like Mutafukaz add

Both movies contain a frantic, cartoony style with R rated violence and sex. Both movies are super fast paced about a pair of people on the run fighting the authorities who chase after them who are conducting secret evil genetic experiments. The characters designs are random eccentric amalgamations of things that only vaguely resemble humans.

...then you might like Boogiepop wa Warawanai (2019) add

A slow paced, atmospheric psychological mystery horror series starring a girl with multiple personalities, one a fighting violent badass and one a reserved and normal girl. Told out of chronological order and very cryptic.

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Shingeki no Kyojin add

Dark, gritty, and violent anime set in realistic medieval-ish times with doses of dark fantasy. Includes suffering, betrayal, shocking plot twists, great action, amazing storytelling, and all time great soundtracks.

Gritty, action packed, medieval anime about a young, battle hardened main character seeking revenge.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Penguin Highway add

Tells the story of a young boy who wants to be and acts like an adult in a quiet and lazy town. He has a crush on an older woman with a kind of crazy and magical ability, and tags along with her and helps her until the very end. Both anime feel surreal and oddly hazy, like some kind of beautiful fever dream.

If you liked Mirai Shounen Conan add

...then you might like Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa add

Two very similar works by Hayao Miyazaki. A fantasy adventure film about a boy rescuing a girl from an evil man who needs her to gain the power to destroy and rule over the world, using the weapons of the old world before the apocalypse happened.

Two different geniuses who engage in a dramatic mental battles with one another, with incredibly unrealistic yet entertainingly complex and over the top strategy.

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Dororo add

Extremely similar story elements between the two, about a brooding swordsman who lost several physical attributes and hunts and is hunted by the roaming demons of the world, and seeks revenge on the one who did this to him and spawned the demons on the world.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist add

Both are action shows that get extremely weird, dark, and psychological as they go on, with a main character that struggles with depression and a dark and troubled past with his family.

If you liked Mimi wo Sumaseba add

...then you might like Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo add

Similar romance, similar main character who feels like a screwup and aspires to be more and is dreamy, overall very similar dreamy feel.

If you liked Lupin III: Cagliostro no Shiro add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV) add

Joseph Joestar and Lupin III are similar characters in how they are cheeky scoundrels who use fun bs like crazy disguises, bait and switches, and maneuvres to win the day. Fun adventures

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Kekkai Sensen add

The main character is a fairly ordinary boy thrown into super crazy shit going on all around him. Rule of Cool plays a huge factor, with cool things popping up without much explanation. The directing is super dynamic and crazy, the soundtrack is awesome and fits the settings well (uses rock and roll), and it's just a super fun time.

If you liked Majo no Takkyuubin add

...then you might like Little Witch Academia add

Both anime are light hearted slice of life adventure movies about a witch finding her place in the world. They are wondrous movies that will put a smile on your face.

If you liked Kiznaiver add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Teenage melodrama made by Studio Trigger. A varied cast of teens bursting with a colorful artstyle amid a sci fi experiment go through relationship struggles and character growth.

If you liked Mononoke Hime add

...then you might like Mushishi add

They both have an incredibly similar world and atmosphere. An older time in the forests of Japan where there are themes of the spirits of nature and humans living in harmony.

If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Mahoutsukai no Yome add

Both are episodic dramatic stories about a girl who has had traumatic experiences in the past and builds emotional connections and more confidence in herself as the show continues. A very emotional vibe to each episode, and a Slice of Life vibe. Both series are very pretty to look at but lack substance or good writing or pacing.

If you liked Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo add

...then you might like Kimi no Na wa. add

Has a similar feeling of at first having a comedic, slice of life type tone with a wacky supernatural power changing the lives of our protagonists as they make use of it and adjust, but then later develops a sadder and more desperate tone. There is a beautiful but bittersweet romance, and a similar twist that occur in the later part of both movie. The directing style feels a bit similar too.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Inuyashiki add

Both are dark and tense. They have a similar artstyle and cliffhangers often. The biggest similarity is that the protagonist and the antagonist are engaged in a cat-and-mouse game where one is a psychopathic killer and the other fights crime and wants to stop the murderer.

If you liked Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu add

...then you might like Inuyashiki add

Aliens come to earth and modify an ordinary person with an ordinary life, making them superhuman. Both are action-packed and gory. A big theme in both involves the main character trying to keep his humanity and learn what makes one human despite superhuman changes. They are both very tense and fast paced as well, with cliffhangers each episode.
