If you liked Sword Art Online add

...then you might like Choujigen Game Neptune The Animation add

Video game to RPG tropes are most relevant in both series. Both franchises embody a wishful fulfillment of enlightening the audience with monstrous attacks on the heroines, within SAO, for example, Asuna fights gigantic tentacle monsters, whilst within Neptune, all the heroines struggle against slim monsters, etc.

If you liked K-On! add

...then you might like Choujigen Game Neptune The Animation add

The premise of bring about peace and serenity through friendships and mischievous quirks is achieved through a formulaic yet dynamic sequence of 'cute girls doing cute things.' Although unrealistic, it is unanimous that the connections between several characters are visible and delectably so. Neptune sways the group with her clumsy spirit and thirst for adventure, much like Yui's obsession with tea, and sometimes cake too. Azunyan, a reincarnated, and objectively better version of Noire, is the charitable leader whose charisma may, in the very literal sense, misguide young men into a seduced stage of hypnotism, of entrapment, where their mind and soul is swirling in an endless quagmire of having to choose between two young maidens of the same occupation and, well, same mediocrity.

If you liked Kamisama Dolls add

...then you might like Shinsekai yori add

For the lack of better words, Shinsekai is an improved version of Kamisama Dolls, a series which had trouble coming to terms with the climax of its mysteries. The societies depicted in both series disallow people from perplexing the status quo, and manipulation hence occurs on a supernatural level to try and suppress individual thoughts or discrimination towards conformity. There's also a motion for both series to include another race of creatures, though Kamisama Dolls literally treats them like the inanimate 'dolls' they are while Shinsekai brings in an entirely different story along with it. Lastly, there's also a similar cast, exemplified by their ages (though it varies), member counts, and personalities.

If you liked Shinreigari add

...then you might like Shinsekai yori add

The atmosphere in both series focuses on the resolution of a mystery which spins off into a supernatural thread. Ghost Hound taps into more transcendental elements while Shinsekai offers biological and possible scientific (I.e. Sci-Fi) insights for certain aspects of the plot.

If you liked Byousoku 5 Centimeter add

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

Both comprises of slickly executed take on high school, young-teenage drama compressed down to the most bittersweet messages to the most heartwarming ones. 5 centimeter per second, or otherwise Byousoku 5 centimeter, is particularly harsh in depicting the traditional Japanese's customs of "I like you, so I can't fall in love with you" and the shy, slick tension within male-female relationships; in showing a clearly visualized state of beautifully crafted & intricate backgrounds, it really sets the mood for its various themes containing the true harshness in realistic, matured romance relationships. Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo or the Girl who leapt through time is a lot more vibrant and energetic in that it tries to bring at least some quirkiness with the main female lead. The romance develops and fades similar to 5cm per second, yet it's much less heavily emphasized. Through a supernatural confronting, the Girl who leapt through time illustrates the theme that we oftentimes only have one chance to work out a relationship correctly, though it may not be perfect. It's also beautiful, not in visuals, but with the devolvement of its initially pragmatic characters; eccentrically yet surprisingly well done character development in its short period of time. I very much recommend both of these movies for fans of romance, drama, and bittersweet yet powerfully delivered stories. Both are compelling movies in their own respective aspects, 5cm with its mouth-dropping visuals, Toki wo Shoujo with its intricately done plot. I can't say which one is more superior, and they are not necessarily sophisticated concepts which require brains to create, but both movies are delivered in such a timeless manner which makes them classical romance tales, regardless of the medium.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Guilty Crown add

Just happen to be continuing the ideas guilty crown ripped off of other series' recommendations. Mostly people confer to Code Geass when they say Guilty Crown, but Utena serves as a much better example due to their similar motifs and usage of swift action scenes. In both series, a main character, who's either a male or a female with strong animus egotism, likes to pull swords out of other people's chests, because, why? It's fun, probably. Watch both series to find out their separate, individual purposes, but effectively, the swords/ weaponry which pops out of the people's chests happen to give the 'protagonist' power to kill people easily, usually. The climax arc of both series is very strikingly similar in that they foretell of a girl whose fate is controlled by supernatural people which both series deemed as evil. Many spoilers have to be given to elaborate, but basically, the major setting that it comes down to dwells in a church. GC has horribly done writing whilst Utena has some filler episodes and arguably slow pacing, and both are mostly bad in those aspects.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Hotarubi no Mori e add

Same voice actor for main male lead and similar plot about ghost spirits wandering around. The main story of Hotarubi is limited by the fact that it's movie, and so it doesn't have as much touching stories as Natusme, yet it is still very moving. Both emphasizes the importance of relationships, especially that of a close friend.

If you liked ef: A Tale of Melodies. add

...then you might like Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia is the biggest rip-off I've seen any anime pull off, quite successfully as well. The director for both franchise is the same, and he didn't change a single thing about the two besides removing one arc from Ef a tale of melodies, and changing the characters' functions in the plot around a bit. Romance in Tasogare is weakly structured due to its lack of originality in trying to mimick Ef a tale of melodies' route too much, especially the ending. Tasogare aired after the Ef series so it's obvious who copied who. A show solely for comedic purposes is tasogare; and for any actually heart-striking plot Ef a tale of melodies is the better of the two. Generally speaking, the Ef series achieves better than most romance tales, and I highly recommend it over rip-off series like Tasogare. Also, the background in both anime is highly comparable in its visuals and purposes.

If you liked Hyouka add

...then you might like Tamako Market add

Moe shenanigans. Main female leads of both series are too curious for their own goods.

If you liked Hametsu no Mars add

...then you might like Inferno Cop add

So "juicy" with each of their own independent, horrific presentations that the audience can't help but chuckle, and be overwhelmingly astonished at it.

If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

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

What if I'm so manly that I drill open the sky? Purposely done over-the-top shounen series with positive outlook on the general flaws of humanity when they are fighting supposedly ten times as powerful alien monsters. Supernatural characters who start out as weaklings constrained by their naiveness, and though Jojo develops its characters through generational heritages, both display a trending possession of glorified characters. Mostly fluid action scenes. TTGL is more mecha, whilst Jojo goes back to the '80s battle shounen genre. Overall, vastly epic action scenes and great music. Both are highly potential, likable butlers for macho men with interests in manly looking characters containing a thoroughly explored plot about humans vs. aliens/superior beings.

If you liked Macross F add

...then you might like AKB0048: Next Stage add

The main correlation between the two franchise is on full-fledge displayment; in their apparent revealing of an initially light-hearted scenario, gloomy themes of galactic battles are occurring. Both have fabulous artwork now apparently layered over by loads of fan service, which may or may not be distracting at times. A great watch for mecha fans, though AKB the next stage still consists of chiefly slice of life scenes, and lots of great soundtracks which fulfill their purposes within and outside of the actual series. AKB first season was much more honorable in focusing on hope-relate themes of the idols' future, which holds less significance in this sequel; whilst, Macross Frontier is a lot more consistent with its romance developments throughout, in contrast.

If you liked Shakugan no Shana add

...then you might like Toaru Majutsu no Index add

The characters are too similar, both also revolve around a supernatural theme as well as the implication of romance in both series--even though not properly expressed

If you liked Kaichou wa Maid-sama! add

...then you might like Inu x Boku SS add

Similar relationships the main male characters have with the main female characters. Both series also incorporate a similar sense of romantic comedy and slow-paced ness throughout the show.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

The two main male characters think their act is justice, while they both have a rival to compete against their opinions. Also there are other similar characters.

If you liked Meitantei Conan add

...then you might like Death Note add

Death Note focuses on two things: Justice and Death, Detective Conan obviously & mainly deals with Justice, but not death. Although, I could argue that Conan and L. are very similar characters who both obtain a very great desire for their viewpoint of "justice," that killing is a crime, no matter the circumstances.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Mirai Nikki (TV) add

Mirai nikki, death note, mirai nikki, death note. Characters in both animes have close "perimeters" with death, deals with death, and include notes that literally have the supernatural powers to prognosticate death.

If you liked Naruto: Shippuuden add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

Both illustrates similar themes. The main setting of both anime are in an unusual time period. The plots are based off of supernatural characters. Both are the sequels to a previous, juvenile version of it, hence more mature character developments happen.

If you liked Meitantei Conan add

...then you might like Un-Go add

Both are detective TV shows, un-go focuses more on supernatural cases while detective conan focuses on daily, realistic cases. Both are accompanied by feelings of Shounen genre bits
