...then you might like Mushishi add

Both share themes of nature, humanity, and the cycle of birth and death. Mononoke Hime has spirits of the forest, gods, demons... These are very similar to the mushi of Mushishi, with the main character of Mushishi also trying to find a balance between humans and nature, the same way Askitaka does. Both have gorgeous scenery and animation, with heavy emphasis on natural surroundings.

...then you might like Samurai Champloo add

Two offerings from Watanabe, and both are definitely worth watching. The stories and characters are similar - the spirited and determined female character, the rebellious young man that doesn't obey society's rules, and that man's quieter and more reserved counterpart, each journeying together across space/Japan, searching for something. Whereas Cowboy Bebop has a jazz + space combination, Samurai Champloo has a hip-hop + ancient Japan combination, one that might sound strange, but the two work together to create an interesting world, with plenty of humorous moments.

...then you might like Plastic Neesan add

If you've watched either of these series and enjoyed them, then you're probably someone who enjoys zany and odd humor, and prefer something... unusual. These series do not share any similarities with their stories - but the humor and tone are extremely similar. Bizzare scenarios, sexual references and innuendos, swearing, saying "What the fuck?!" aloud during your viewings... Sound familiar? Sound fun? Then try Plastic Neesan.

If you liked Steins;Gate add

...then you might like Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

Both series feature spirited protagonists, that might feel isolated from those around them, but are determined to the right thing and fix their mistakes - this may sound clichéd, but they both have enough quirks and enough charm to keep them interesting. From a genre perspective - both feature time travel and the idea of alternate worlds and realities, and the idea of preserving relationships across these boundaries. The artwork, particularly the backgrounds, is something definitely worth noting, as there as some stunning scenes throughout. Steins;Gate has more "lighter" moments, perhaps due to the added length, but both series definitely have plenty of suspenseful moments that'll have you moving onto the next episode as quickly as you can. And they both feature ambiguously-gendered boys. :P
