If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

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

I had a hard time getting into Gurren Lagann, I dropped it several times before finally getting past the near vertical learning curve to engage it. Franxx suffers a similar issue, where the writers/producers took a highly artistic approach to the narrative and let me tell you, its FANTASTIC. Most negative comments revolve around the first 6 episodes, where everything makes sense if you keep watching. Do yourself a favor, if you liked Gurren, come to Franxx with no expectations and see where the ride takes you!

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

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

I was reminded of Shinsekai the entire time I watched Franxx, but not in a bad or comparative way. Rather, the more mature themes of human connection and psychological games were fairly strong throughout. Franxx seemed to convey many similar feelings and messages, in a similar sort of world. Chances are, if you like Shinsekai then Franxx will be enjoyable in a unique but familiar way - though you've really got to go deep into Franxx before it reveals what kind of story it is, its definitely not a 3-episoder - give it, like, 12-14.

If you liked Kill la Kill add

...then you might like Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda add

Lots of humor, crazy battles, interesting story and character development. I found this story to be similar in its scale and world-conquering themes yet equally outlandish. Sekai Seifuku is a bit more reserved and light hearted with far less fan-service but some similarly themed "armor" choices. Similar ideas of conquest and revenge along with changing and proving loyalties show up in each. If Kill la Kill was a bit much for you, Sekai Seifuku should fit the bill.

If you liked Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu add

...then you might like Sabage-bu! add

Its similar to the point of bordering being created using the same storyboard. The characters are similar and both have a new girl conned into joining the survival games club. It is also heavily based on action but has significantly more comedy involved.

If you liked Kokoro Connect add

...then you might like Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu add

If you wish Yura's character had developed further than Kokoro Connect may be a good option (be sure to watch the extra episodes 14-17 too). In both shows the main female characters go through significant changes causing friendships to be strained. The ideas of forming an identity and personal empowerment are explored in each.
