If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Ao no Exorcist add

Spunky and powerful exorcists, who are a bit more in touch with their emotions than other shounen protagonists. Plus, both authors chug that respect women juice daily since they're both, you know, women. None of the female characters get the short end of the fan-service stick (usually).

...then you might like Doukyuusei add

They both have a very natural, easy going school-time, summer-vibes type atmosphere, and both shows put a lot of emphasis on character dynamics and do a good job of capturing the overall feel of being a young and in love.

If you liked Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt add

...then you might like Akame ga Kill! add

Spunky anime sluts beat the shit out of one another. Full of violence, nudity, and flashy headache-inducing animation. Expect thongs, thigh-highs, and under-boob (some tasteful, most... not) galore.

If you liked Canis Series add

...then you might like Shimanami Tasogare add

I mostly associate these manga because they have absolutely beautiful art styles and absolutely gorgeous panel compositions as well as major LGBT themes. While Shimanami Tasogare is of a coming of age story for a young boy and Canis an adult drama, both series have major themes about their male coming to terms with being gay, which is examined by the author in a really mature way.

If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Ao no Exorcist add

Both are shounen series about exorcists whose protagonists regularly drink respect women juice. The female background characters are treated with lots of respect and are surprisingly well fleshed out for shounen series, which I think is due to both series having female authors. For example, in D. Gray-man, although one of the main female characters wears a short skirt and one of her main abilities is in her boots, there are no panty shots, which made me really glad. And in Blue Exorcist, Rin and Yukio's main love interest, Shiemi, although somewhat of a homebody, is still characterized as having her own goals and interested, outside of the main male protagonists.

If you liked Tiger & Bunny add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

Both take place in a world where super powers are commonplace. While Boku no Hero Academia follows young superheros in a more coming-of-age story, Tiger & Bunny follows more mature and seasoned superheros and their more struggles as working adults. The two main protagonists, Deku and Kotetsu were both inspired as young children by big, blond, American heros (All Might and Mr. Legend respectively), who were/are heralded as the best of their time. Additionally, both protagonists are highly energetic and naive, following their own heroic code instead of seeking popularity.

If you liked Kuragehime add

...then you might like Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun add

Both shows are really cute, light-hearted, and overall quite hilarious. When you're watching, you almost feel like you want to be friends with the characters, since both shows do such a good job of fleshing out their quirky cast of characters. Additionally, neither show shys away from the subject of gender and personal identity. In Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Nozaki is an extremely thick headed boy who writes girl's romance manga, and in Kuragehime, Kuranosuke is a son of a Japanese politican who loves fashion and cross dressing and just wants to make women's clothes.
