If you liked Shinsekai yori add

...then you might like Shingeki no Kyojin add

Both shows have the profoundly important and mightily depressing subject matter of the human race's survival hundreds of years in the future. The future civilisations in each show are very different from one another, but they both face the problem of tensions and/or conflicts between species that have come to exist since our present, not to mention further issues regarding the corruption of human governments and establishments. What's also important to mention is that both shows have an element of scientific mystery; as you watch you'll find out more and more about the new creatures that inhabit the Earth through the characters' own investigations.

Both shows have an oddity about them. They're not very usual. Both also share a particular artistic style which is pretty and charming. Finally, the two shows are both deep and complex causing the intellectual stimulation of the watcher. Both very worth watching. :)

If you liked Ao Haru Ride add

...then you might like Orange add

They're both about a girl (who has her own complexities) trying to get through to a troubled, complex boy who isn't open about how he feels. They also deal with very similar friendship groups in which each cares about the others and does their best to help them through whatever troubles they might encounter. Most importantly though, both are beautifully told stories. That's in terms of artwork as well as general organisation. :)

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

I know this may seem like a bit of an odd recommendation, but I do genuinely think that these shows share a lot in common. For one, although the humour in Steins; Gate only really lasts for the first few episodes before only appearing in rare cases it's very similar to the sort of humour in Gintama in that the characters are weird and quirky and have really amusing interactions with each other. So whenever there were humorous episodes/moments of Steins; Gate I was reminded of Gintama. Another way in which these shows are similar is that both of them are really funny when they're supposed to be yet seriously epic and tense and amazing when the serious parts come in. In other words, they both convey two completely contrasting vibes within the same series but pull them both off brilliantly. Generally, they're both just really great shows that're worth watching. :)

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex add

...then you might like Mardock Scramble: The First Compression add

Mardock Scramble is very Ghost in the Shell - esque due to its dark atmosphere, its scientific elements and the main character as a female with a technologically advanced body of sorts.

If you liked Monster add

...then you might like Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex add

Both shows have really prominent elements of mystery and suspense which keep audiences actively watching and on the edge of their seats! Though one is obviously futuristic and the other set a few decades in the past they share a common allure due to the fact that they're so exciting and intriguing and they keep us guessing at things. They also both include a lot of ethical dilemmas. Generally, they're both just really awesome... :)

If you liked Arakawa Under the Bridge add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Both shows are wonderfully weird and quirky. They also have similar art in that they're very colourful, pretty and nice to view. Although Mawaru Penguindrum is much more serious in parts, it has a similar air and feel to Arakawa Under the Bridge. :)

If you liked Pandora Hearts add

...then you might like Dantalian no Shoka add

Fantasy elements, historical European type settings, pretty dresses. : ) The airs these shows give off are really quite similar.

If you liked Paprika add

...then you might like Summer Wars add

Both are very clever movies by amazing, well-known directors. They give off very similar atmospheres in parts due to the fact that Summer Wars is partially set in a virtual world and Paprika in a dream world where crazy things occur, and although they're aimed at different audiences both are equaly as enjoyable and interesting to watch. :)

If you liked Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase add

...then you might like Toradora! add

The overall plots of the two differ in an awful lot of ways, but the relationships between the two main characters - and indeed the characters themselves - in each show are very similar in many senses. I liked both, so you guys might. :)

If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Shiki add

Although these two differ in a lot of ways, their atmospheres seem very similar. In both shows, all of the characters share an interesting sort of bond which is linked to the place in which they live and great emphasis is placed on the setting of the anime.

If you liked Fate/stay night add

...then you might like Kara no Kyoukai Movie 1: Fukan Fuukei add

Both were done - quite superbly - by type moon, and so the animation style and the atmosphere the series give off are very very similar.
