If you liked No Game No Life add

...then you might like Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka add

Aside from the obvious MMO-inspired setting, they also share a somewhat earnest realization for what their reasoning for being made was. Where No Game can be seen as self-aware, Danmachi seems to have no pretense to just being escapist, fantasy empowerment. Vivid animation, in-world game stats to move the plot forward and a shameless disregard for fanservice. If a less conceited MMO entry is what you want, then give either of these a try.

If you liked Michiko to Hatchin add

...then you might like Gangsta. add

This isn't a very conventional recommendation but I still think they're comparable. They're Manglobe titles, both of which have a rugged, urban setting and explore the underbelly of whatever society they're a part of. While Michiko is a lot more light-hearted in presentation and formatted in a "road" journey depiction, as oppose Gangsta's city-trekking and often dower aesthetic; their similar setting and character designs make them feel like they share the same universe. A "two sides of the same coin" situation, if you will.

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Durarara!!x2 Ten add

The most obvious title to recommend to anyone aware of either series but Durarara and Baccano are practically siblings. They both: -deal with gangs -have an ever-changing "point of view" narrative -take place in a backdrop of a bustling city -have supernatural elements in a fairly grounded setting -have a plethora of quirky personalities -directed by Takahiro Omori -originally created by Ryohgo Narita They even have characters from Baccano (Isaac and Miria) make cameo appearances in Drrr. While the quality of both is heavily debated, there's no denying the similarities they share.

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai add

...then you might like Jin-Rou add

Both titles are centered around special forces that work co-dependently with the governing factions of their country, dealing with the political climate that dictates their line of work, as well as delving into the psyche of the main characters involved. The main characters of Jin-Roh and GITS find themselves questioning their placement within society, while also mulling over their existence in the process. These titles were also worked on extensively by Mamoru Oshii in collaboration with the parent studio, Production I.G. They have very similar melancholic atmospheres, hyper-realistic character designs, and underlining motif that runs throughout the runtime. It's centered entirely on adults, allowing for more nuances in character interaction. They're think-pieces that quietly meditate on its subject matter, allowing the viewer to piece together the narrative in real-time with the characters on screen. And as is the case with anything Oshii, there's no shortage of memorable iconography littered throughout. If you've seen and enjoyed one, then you'll more than likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu add

...then you might like Orange: Mirai add

Movies that act as companion pieces to the TV series they derive from. Using some form of time-travel as its container, these movies explore the choices made by loved ones when choosing one person over the other. There's a weighed sacrifice for their decisions, something the person with the time-travel advantage openly acknowledges, allowing for moments of self-reflection as they mull over their actions. And because of this constant causality, even in a slice-of-life setting, these movies feel like significant turning points to the TV series material it's attached to. They're equally smothered in this pensive atmosphere, occasionally taking a deep breath of fresh air to allow momentary relief. Visually, they strongly utilize muted colors, giving them the feeling of leaving spring or just approaching fall. A blanket of steel blue with occasional spots of warmth. Earthy tones of browns and greens. The stark contrast of cherry blossoms or a soft pink scarf. These movies found ways to alleviate the mood visually and narratively, while not compromising the situation at hand. It's not the most uplifting thing you could watch but if you're in the mood for it, in the right state of mind, they can be very rewarding for what they offer.

If you liked Gungrave add

...then you might like 91 Days add

Out of all the mafioso inspired anime entries out there, these two come the closest to capturing the very essence of the subgenre. The usual themes revolving around family, loyalty, revenge, and corruption are omnipresent. They center around the inner-turmoil of the mafia families on display, and in some capacity, also have a frenemy relationship occurring between the two main characters involved. With muted color-palettes, earthy tones, realistic character designs, and an invested attempt in taking cinematic cues from films that inspire it; these entries are something like gift-wrapped viewing bargains. The only tradeoff for watching either boils down to how much fantastical elements you're looking for. If you want the bread and butter of the mafia subgenre, go with 91 Days. However, if you want something that adheres to the subgenre with a bit of a left-hook coming in the form of supernatural elements, then go with Gungrave. Either way, they're both satisfying in their own right.
