If you liked Binbougami ga! add

...then you might like Jashin-chan Dropkick add

A mortal deals with threats of bodily harm/death at the hands of their supernatural rival, with much of the shows humor relying on reference comedy and breaking the fourth wall.

If you liked Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan add

...then you might like Jashin-chan Dropkick add

A sometimes over-the-top violent slapstick comedy about supernatural beings and the mortals they're living with. Jashin-chan tends to lean more into a more lighthearted slice-of-life comedy, while Dokuro-chan uses more vulgar set-ups for much of its humor.

If you liked Chrno Crusade add

...then you might like Kimetsu no Yaiba add

A career demon killer teams up with a demon to - what else? - kill demons and save their sibling. It's not an original plot, but both shows manage to make it their own by building interesting and unique settings - both (roughly) set in the 1920's, in Taisho-era Japan and the Jazz Age United States. There's a definite emphasis on action, but the shows don't back down from leaning into both the comedy and tragedy aspects of the genre when needed. Chrono Crusade fans can enjoy the beautiful animation and modern artstyle present in Kimetsu no Yaiba, while Kimetsu no Yaiba fans can look to Chrono Crusade for more of this kind of story - with the benefit of a conclusive ending - while waiting for the next season.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Kyousou Giga (TV) add

A story about a teenager with a complicated relationship with their father, an absentee mother, and their hedonistic guardian, interspersed with religious symbolism. Oh, and at least one giant robot. When broken to its bare essentials, the series seen similar, however their execution is what makes them so vastly different. Evangelion received acclaim for its use of action, horror (of both the psychological and physical kind), drama, and some lighter comedy to tell a story that seemed almost realistic in its depiction of a child being thrust into that scenario. While Kyousou Giga isn’t afraid of showing its characters hurting, it never goes too far, and much of the show carries a whimsical tone even as the plot starts to take a more serious turn. For a more “realistic” show, turn to Neon Genesis Evangelion. For a more light-hearted show, try Kyousou Giga. If not for their plots, their individual aesthetics and usages of Christian and Buddhist symbolism, respectively, make for settings that are almost more interesting than the stories themselves.
