If you liked Barakamon add

...then you might like Taisou Zamurai add

Both animes feature protagonists who are in a rut in their given professions, and throughout their journey, they encounter various zany characters who are used with good comedic effect. Both animes also feature heart warming scenes with kids.

If you liked Tista add

...then you might like Dendrobates add

Both feature assassins who kill the corrupt at night while trying to live other lives. Both feature law enforcement agents who chase after them, and both have heavy church overtones. But more than that, both of these mangas have a tragic but engaging tone, Tista more than Dendrobates perhaps because there aren't as many unrelated one-shot cases. They both have that murky question of should vigilante justice be allowed and how the past continues to haunt us.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Tears to Tiara add

General setting wise, both of these shows mix just a little bit of historical fiction into a largely fantasy setting. Gintama is set in Japan while Tears to Tiara is set in Medieval Europe. Beyond that, the most striking similarity are its main characters. Both Gintoki and Arawn have silver hair and red eyes, and they are (or in Gintoki's case, was) known as a devil because of their fighting ability. Even some of their mannerisms are similar. Both of them are slightly lazy, Gintoki more so than Arawn. They are both slightly silly at times, but have their serious, profound moments too.
