If you liked Mouryou no Hako add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs 2nd Season add

These series feature an atmosphere of somewhat mature darkness that centers around a mystery theme. Most of the main characters are male, and the aesthetic style is very similar. If you appreciated the style of Bungou Stray Dogs and wished it took the mystery theme further, give Mouryou no Hako a try. However, Bungou Stray Dogs is considerably more action-oriented and Mouryou no Hako is more dialogue-centric with horror elements.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Blood-C add

These two series feature quite a lot of violence and bloodshed. That is quite obvious from the first few episodes of each. However, the main similarity has to do with character. The main female character in both series has two sides. The first being easygoing/happy/cute, and the other being a murderer/assailant highly skilled in combat. There are more differences between the two character "sides" in Elfen Lied, as they are more extreme. However, both are highly similar. The tone in both series can be connected as well, although Blood C isn't immediately similar to Elfen Lied. The two contain militaristic themes, and the overarching plot delves into the main characters' pasts. Of course, Blood C is building on a franchise, while Elfen Lied has a manga. Therefore, Blood C is a little lighter and more accessible in comparison.

If you liked Nyan Koi! add

...then you might like Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo add

These two series feature the overarching theme of cats! They are both colorful slice of life anime with a lighthearted feel. They also both have harem elements and the comedy usually tends to go into more of the "screwball" theme. The two are highly similar - you should watch if looking for a slice of life with some cats...

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

...then you might like Zetsuen no Tempest add

These two series have the theme of dealing in issues with philosophical implications. Things affect the series' world at large. There is a lot of character development and drama in each. In addition, they are both rendered realistically (for anime style), as characters have less exaggerated features (ie more natural shades of hair...no bright pink or green here). They are around the same length as well, to add one more similarity. Overall, they are quite similar and worth the watch.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha add

...then you might like Shakugan no Shana add

There is a similar atmosphere in these two series. The character designs are colorful and bishoujo-influenced, and the action sequences are flashy and involve magic. Both series also contain drama as a main point, as well as action. They also take place in urban environments. They are both fantasy-based, but Nanoha takes the magical girl trope a little further than Shana. Shana is more of just a magic-based fighter rather than the traditional magical girl. Both series have extremely similar atmospheres and features. Both are worth a shot.

If you liked Umi Monogatari: Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto add

...then you might like Nagi no Asu kara add

An obvious similarity - sea themes! People from the sea interacting with people of the land, plus their interpersonal relationships.

If you liked Air add

...then you might like Grisaia no Kajitsu add

These two series are bishoujo, visual novel-based harems. They feature a colorful cast of characters that actually get development (some more than others) in their respective arcs. Grisaia is more fanservice and violence-heavy, though. They both contain tragedy and plot twists.

If you liked Little Busters! add

...then you might like Grisaia no Kajitsu add

These two series follow multiple students' lives. The art style in both, for the most part, is bishoujo...Which, you guessed it, means they have harem elements. However, they are most similar for having a hint of mystery rather than just vapid (or simplistic) slice of life. To be warned, however, Grisaia has a lot more outright fanservice and violence, while Little Busters has little to none of those things. Both of these anime keep an air of drama to them, through character development and interpersonal relationships. They also have that clean, crisp artistic style found in a lot of vn-based anime.

If you liked H2O: Footprints in the Sand add

...then you might like Grisaia no Kajitsu add

These series both focus on harem elements. They can have some comedy and light-hearted moments, but something darker with a hint of mystery lies underneath. Grisaia, I think, is a little more dark than H2O. But they are both satisfying mystery-type harems IF you enjoy these genres/themes.

If you liked Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

...then you might like Grisaia no Kajitsu add

These two start out pretty light-hearted, with only hints of some darkness. The storylines involve high school-aged kids. However, in the final few episodes, plot twists abound and they become very dark.

If you liked Manga Mitai na Koi Shitai! add

...then you might like Comic☆Studio add

These are two series about mangaka. Both feature young-looking girls as manga artists. Manga Mitai na Koi Shitai is a shoujo series and focuses more on romance with a female demographic in mind, whereas Comic Studio is more seinen and focuses on moe, a little ecchi, and an older demographic. Comic Studio is more "mature" than Manga Mitai as well.

If you liked Kurokami The Animation add

...then you might like Code:Breaker add

Similar action with dark organizations. Young characters with superpowers and similar urban settings. Both series have the same general feeling. Loaded with action and, at times, emotional character stories.

If you liked Kamisama Dolls add

...then you might like Shinsekai yori add

Towns dark secrets; both also have a sort of supernatural power and telekinetic abilities as a theme.

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex add

...then you might like RD Sennou Chousashitsu add

First and foremost are both from Production IG. Real Drive and GitS both deal with levels of consciousness and technological settings. Even though the technology can be seen as cold and unnatural, there is a poignant emotional element in both series. They also both have the concept of "diving". Layers of the net can be accessed in an almost metaphysical way.

If you liked Deadman Wonderland add

...then you might like Btooom! add

Deadman Wonderland and BTOOOM! are similar because they both feature a character who is thrust into a game of survival. The surrounding characters also have back stories as to why they ended up in the game. Both anime deal with death and psychological issues. Sometimes, it is hard to tell the characters' intentions. Many characters have ulterior motives to getting what they want. There is a lot of action in each, and they can get rather violent. They both have a similar style and feel, and the survival games in both give the anime a sense of danger from episode to episode.

If you liked Full Moon wo Sagashite add

...then you might like Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami add

These two anime feature a young girl who can transform into an older, beautiful idol with the help of two magical creatures. The girls in both have certain restrictions on their powers. The style of the anime has a happy feel, but Full Moon includes a touch of tragedy.

If you liked Tantei Opera Milky Holmes add

...then you might like Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel: Kyunkyun☆Tokimeki Paradise!! add

Hyperactive style, parody comedy, similar music, cheerful and dimwitted girls.

If you liked Ookami to Koushinryou add

...then you might like C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control add

Different times and places, but both are about money. How financial gain (or loss) changes people; navigation through economics.

If you liked Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho add

...then you might like Beelzebub add

Comedy + Action Delinquent Characters and Fights Supernatural Themes Demons

If you liked Otogi Story Tenshi no Shippo add

...then you might like Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai add

In both - One guy helping girls overcome their problems. Low fanservice levels (if any at all).

If you liked Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi add

...then you might like Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri add

Both take themes from popular fairy tales. There are actually characters in both shows named Ringo with short, pinkish hair. Know that Lilpri is a kids' show whereas Ookami-san is not.

If you liked Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora add

...then you might like White Album add

Different storylines and environments, but highly similar in tone and type of drama/romance.

If you liked Muteki Kanban Musume add

...then you might like Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi add

- Similar character types - Slapstick humor - Anime parodies - Similar series length

If you liked Umi Monogatari: Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto add

...then you might like Ano Natsu de Matteru add

Drama between friends and similar "summery" feel!

If you liked Mahoraba: Heartful Days add

...then you might like Potemayo add

- Light-hearted slice of life - Similar cute art and color palette - Cast of likeable characters with comedic interactions - Off-beat at times

If you liked Shinigami no Ballad. add

...then you might like xxxHOLiC add

Both anime feature a supernatural "force" that helps people overcome their struggles. As opposed to Shinigami no Ballad, xxxHOLiC has more comedy and of course a longer story, but I think that with Shinigami no Ballad only having six episodes, it livens up the subject matter and adds to the mystery. xxxHOLiC does, though, have have similar serious moments as those in Shinigami no Ballad. Overall, if you are a fan of dramatic or supernatural stories with a touch of Japanese spiritualism, you would probably enjoy these series.

If you liked Sakura Taisen add

...then you might like Otome Youkai Zakuro add

Both feature a young military officer sent to work alongside beautiful and strong women. Zakuro and Sakura also look similar, in dress and looks (although Sakura doesn't have cat ears). Otome Youkai Zakuro is more supernatural/folk-ish, whereas Sakura Taisen has some light mecha elements. Overall, though, if you liked one, you would probably enjoy the other.

If you liked Byousoku 5 Centimeter add

...then you might like Clannad add

Both are about a enduring connection of love, spanning times and seasons.

If you liked Metropolis add

...then you might like Fractale add

Similar sci-fi settings; the main characters are also innocent and changed by their experiences (Clain in Fractale, Kenichi in Metropolis). Tima in Metropolis is, in addition, similar to Nessa. They both do not know much about the true world. Both works feature journeys that, while innocent on the surface, really challenge the viewer and makes on reflect.

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

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

Similar comedic style; lots of randomly-themed, upbeat humor. The characters are also delightfully similar.
