If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Apart from the downright similarities between the characters of these two series, the world buildup has striking resemblance. Humanity is constantly being under attack by an eldritch abomination, and to defeat them, kids are trained to pilot giant mecha structures. The protagonist has some sort of issue that prevents him from piloting once such robot. There is a female lead who wears bright red clothes, and plays a big part with the mental turmoil of our protagonist. Mental depression plays a big part in the protagonist's case, and while Evangelion has a constantly lingering dark aura to it, Darling in the FranXX is a lot brighter in case of both appearance and the tone of the story.

If you liked Wakako-zake add

...then you might like Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara add

After a hectic day at office, the central female characters in these series enjoy their leisure time by having different types of drinks. While Wakako-zake focuses on the lead character enjoying drinks in various food shops (like sushi bar), Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara's lead character returns to her house and enjoys drinks prepared by her husband. These two anime are mainly mind-relief based series, and while they have a bit different appeal (Osake's Chisato acting funny after drinking), the mental effects on the viewer are the same: calming experience.

If you liked Chi's Sweet Home add

...then you might like Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki add

These series show slice-of-life based stories about homeless cats that gets adopted by a family. Cute cats that melts the heart of the human family members so much that their prime focus stays on the cats no matter what they are doing. While Chi's Sweet Home mainly shows Chi's daily life activities and how that affect her family, Poyopoyo is about the story of the whole family and their interactions. This little difference turns Chi's Sweet Home into a cute cat story with funny elements, and Poyopoyo as a hilarious story with a bit of over-the-top comedic elements.

If you liked Mob Psycho 100 add

...then you might like Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

The protagonists of these series have overpowered psychic abilities, so much that no one stand a chance against them. They actually have to restrain themselves so that no one else gets hurt. A big difference is that, in case of Mob Psycho, Shigeo is portrayed as a character who is as simple as he can be, so everyone at first glance won't pay any attention to him. On the other hand, Saiki from Saiki Kusuo tries his best to avoid any type of attention, and realizes no matter what he does he is going to be at the center of every little and big events around him. These series have some over the top comedic elements, and they were used in the best possible way.

On her journey she is aided by young people who are brilliant in mecha-fighting, specially the main protagonist who is a calm-minded person and head for the battles without the slightest sign of hesitation or frightened look. Events change and take a surprising turn when the people from Mars betrays the lady, and battle breaks out between our protagonists and the Martians. A lot of deaths occur in these strategic battles as political turmoil among them take a turn for the worse.

Light-hearted story about magical girls doing beautiful and magical things suddenly turned into a traumatic experience as they learn more and more about the dark truth of behind the true purpose of becoming "magical girls". Desperation arises as these girls face the threat of loosing their lives through the process. Even if both the series have a similar setting like this, Madoka Magica is more of a psychological roller-coaster ride playing with the viewers' mental state, while Ikusei Keikaku has a thriller story about a hunger-games or battle-royale among these girls with bloodfest every now and then.
