Both follow a gang of thieves with likable characters. Great Pretender is a more modern version with a storyline but Lupin III is a classic and just as fun despite it not having as much as a story.

Death Parade

...then you might like
Violet Evergarden
|
Aside from stunning visuals, both protagonists have a lot in common and share qualities; both are professional in anything they do. Through their jobs, in both anime, they try to empathize with humans properly and understand human feelings. Violet Evergarden focuses on the “weight of words,” Death Parade fixates on how “actions are louder than words.” Death Parade is more psychological oriented and Violet Evergaden is primarily a drama.

Cike Wu Liuqi

These Chinese anime's are hidden gems that both have unique animation styles and are not as time consuming as most shows, one being 3 episodes long and the other having very short 13 minute episodes, so they are worth a shot.

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken

Both have overpowered main characters that lead a group of strong subordinates and try to expand the influence of their kingdom. In Overlord the fantasy world is in a game and in the other it is just a fantasy isekai world so there are a lot of similarities between the two.
