If you liked Slam Dunk add

...then you might like Major S5 add

Both main characters are determined and have a real passion for the game that inspires the team around them to perform better. These are sport animes but the aspects and emotions of the human being are the real deal here.

If you liked Major S4 add

...then you might like Moshidora add

Like Major, Moshidora is a sports anime, but not just baseball. It's about the dramas of life and being a human that struggles to deal with the challenges that life brings. Both animes have very touching moments that send a strong message: it was never about sport. It was about ourselves.

If you liked Speed Grapher add

...then you might like Koukaku Kidoutai Arise: Alternative Architecture add

Like GitS Arise, Speed Grapher storyline is all about deep investigation, intrigue and plot twists. When you think that you finally get a hold of what's going on, surprise: it's something else!

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu add

If you're looking for some nonsense fun, here you have two great series to pick: Azumanga Daioh makes you laugh like there's no tomorrow, and Fumoffu is not that fun, but it has weapons and more action.

If you liked Street Fighter II V add

...then you might like Shonan Junai Gumi! add

Two teenagers going after fights to improve their skills and trying (with little success) to get girls on the way. That's the core of the two animes, but SJG duo have more style and funny lines.

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai add

...then you might like Appleseed (Movie) add

Both movies have the marvelous mind of the sci-fi guru Shirow Masamune behind it, so you must expect a good storyline (Appleseed's not a masterpiece as GITS, but it's interesting anyway). The animation is awesome too, and the action scenes will keep your eyes on the screen until the very end. If you're a sci-fi fan, both movies are a good shot.

If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like Sakura Taisen: Ouka Kenran add

Both animes have non-electronic mechas on the spotlight, but Escaflowne has a well build and deep story. Sakura Wars is so short that you almost can't have a opinion about it, but at least it'll keep you entertained for more than two hours with some mecha action.

If you liked Clannad add

...then you might like Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

Both Clannad and Ano Hana are good dramas featuring the development of friendship and a bit of supernatural events. The main difference between thoso two is that Clannad has a lot more of funny scenes and jokes, while Ano Hana is on the cute side and deeply focused on its long drama. If you want a soft drama, Clannad is your call. But if you really want the tears to flow, Ano Hana is the choice. They are two sides of the same coin.

If you liked Cardcaptor Sakura add

...then you might like Nanatsu-iro★Drops add

No use to run from it: Nanatsuiro Drops is a worse version of Card Captor Sakura. The ND story is heartwarming and cute? Yes. Is it well developed? Not at all. If you want to watch some romance featuring a magical girl, give Nanatsuiro a shot, but CCS is WAAAAAAAAAY better on all aspects.

If you liked Bubblegum Crisis add

...then you might like Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Waga Yuku wa Hoshi no Taikai add

Both Bubblegum Crisis OVA and LOTGH: My Conquest is the Sea Of Stars are not required to watch the sequels (BGC Tokyo 2040 and LOTGH OVA Series), but they help you to understand better the storylines. In case of Legend... it's even better just because the anime turns to be more enjoyable if you gather all info possible upfront.

If you liked Gunslinger Girl add

...then you might like Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

The storylines of both animes are standing on totally different edges, but the real core of them have some similarities: a group of friends that deals with new and different feelings and endure hard challenges (and bullets, in Gunslinger case) to stick together. Good dramas with very touching endings.

If you liked Major S1 add

...then you might like Moshidora add

Moshidora is based on Drucker's management book, but if the games and drama that the series presented got your attention, so try Major! The first half of the season has some high quality drama, and the second half brings all the baseball action that Moshidora only gave a taste to the fans.

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG add

Both sci-fi animes have very deep stories and makes you think very hard to understand its development. GITS SAC 2nd Gig has the perfect mix of action, drama and politics conspiracy, always exploring the thin border between cyberworld and reality. Lain is more focused on drama, but share the futuristic scenario. The character developments on the two series are awesome!

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Shinryaku! Ika Musume add

If you like nonsense comedy, go with Shinryaku! Ika Musume and Azumanga Daioh. The first is some kind of an amateur version of the second, but the laughter is guaranteed either way. And don't forget: Osaka-san rules all!

If you liked Bubblegum Crisis add

...then you might like Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden: Ougon no Tsubasa add

The same main reason to exist: learn the roots of the big hits Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. The second one is deeply romantic (so sugar on in that gives nausea), but the battle is cool on the other side. Don't expect great artworks here.

If you liked Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e add

...then you might like Dual! Parallel Lun-Lun Monogatari add

If you like stories about parallel worlds/realities like the ones in Noein, so you must try Dual! too. We can't compare the two storylines at all because Dual! is a comedy series, but it's highly recommended to relax a little after the intensity of Noein. A good point in my opinion are the mechas on Dual!, they're cool! In short, both animes have the same theme (parallel realities), but with a totally different development and outcome.

If you liked Angelic Layer add

...then you might like Magic Knight Rayearth add

Magic Knight Rayearth and Angelic Layer are not that similar in terms of storyline, but if you want to check who inspired Suzuhara Misaki and her angel Hikaru, reading the first series of Rayearth is a good call. Shidou Hikaru has the same determination and fighting spirit of Misaki/Hikaru. Read both series and compare the development of these two "little" girls with a lot of challenges to win in their lives.

If you liked Akira add

...then you might like Dennou Coil add

Most users will blame me to compare the masterpiece Akira to Denno Coil, but actually they are similar in some points. Both storylines are focused in young characters (teenagers Tetsuo/Kaneda in Akira; kids Yasako/Isako in Denno Coil) that have a very unusual behavior in their society. They are "rebels", yougsters that goes against the rules of society to acquire more knowledge about a phenomenon (Akira in Akira; Illegals in Denno Coil) and in both animes they surpass a lot of obstacles to decipher the mysteries hidden in their world. Another highlight on these animes is the drama: The mix of love/jealousy/betrayal/friendship that develops between the characters is well-build and fascinating. Well, enough babbling and watch Denno Coil and Akira, two great sci-fi anime!

If you liked Cardcaptor Sakura add

...then you might like Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat add

If you like animes with charismatic characters, funny silly jokes and a pretty simple storyline, try Card Captor Sakura. When i say simple, don't read it in a depreciative way. It's just obvious that the story of CCS and Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat are not too complex when compared to Ghost In The Shell, but it's easy to understand what is the intention of the anime in the first episodes. Anyway, Card Captor Sakura is one of the CLAMP Studios masterpieces, and surely will leave you light-hearted and happy. Just an advice: Don't expect to find lots of gags in CCS like the ones in Panyo Panyo. Kinomoto Sakura and her friends are funny, but in a different style. Feel the cuteness!

If you liked RahXephon add

...then you might like Koukaku Kidoutai: The Ghost in the Shell add

Ghost In The Shell and RahXephon are similar because both are masterpieces of sci-fi genre, and the mangás storylines are strongly different from their respective anime versions. I read the Ghost In The Shell mangá after watching the anime, and the characters are a lot different. Motoko and Batou telling jokes, a energetic Aramaki, and a more dense history turns this mangá in a must-read for the sci-fi fans. Just as dense as the RahXephon mangá, and both titles have cool action scenes. Try it out!

If you liked W: Wish add

...then you might like Memories Off add

W Wish is one of that anime series based in a date game, like Memories Off. The first is more harem-like style and during some moments you'll find it very boring, but in the final sequel of episodes the storyline get better. The OP and ED themes are great, and overall is a anime worth watching. It didn't have a sophisticated development like Memories Off, but surely you'll enjoy it. Ah, it has girls in swinsuits, if you're a ecchi fan.

If you liked Dual! Parallel Lun-Lun Monogatari add

...then you might like Tenchi Muyou! GXP add

The main characters of both series are very similar, except for the invincible bad luck of Yamada "Lorelei" Seina. Besides that, these two causes a lot of trouble which make you laugh at each episode! For the fans of harem-style that like sci-fi, you must try Dual! too! Romance, comedy and amazing mecha battles awaits you! And if you watched Dual! and are looking for a reason to watch Tenchi Muyo GXP, maybe you can spot an old mecha-friend in the last episodes of this series...

If you liked Magic Knight Rayearth add

...then you might like RahXephon add

If you like the mix mecha/romance, so you must try Magic Knight Rayearth too! RahXephon has more reality in the storyline, and on the other hand Rayearth is based in magic and fantasy. Besides the big background differences, they have the same essence.

If you liked Final Fantasy VII: Last Order add

...then you might like add

I can rate both of them as "really cool fan service" for FF VII fans. If you never played this great game, don't ever come near these animations. If you're already a FF VII fan, it's worth to take a look and watch characters like Zack and Vincent rockin' the boat! Don't expect to understand the plots, both of them are more focused on the action scenes.

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Cossette no Shouzou add

Both animes have a dark atmosphere that goes very well with the themes and storylines developed. Le Portrait de Petit Cossette's more romance-drama based, and on other hand Pet Shop Of Horrors is focused on mystery and human's psychological analysis. Either way, if you like dark animes that have the power to give you the creeps and stll be very interesting, now you've two good recommendations.

If you liked RahXephon add

...then you might like Macross Zero add

Both animes are serious and introspective, more dedicated to work with character development and psychological aspects. The difference is that Macross Zero has more adrenaline, the air battles can let you out of breathe easily. RahXephon has magnificent battles too, but it focus more on dialogues and storyline.

If you liked Shinpi no Sekai El-Hazard (TV) add

...then you might like Tenchi Muyou! add

Another harem anime, El Hazard is very similar to the Tenchi Muyo series, hence the story is based in a fantastic, medieval-style world. If you like a mix of comedy, romance and action, try it now!
