If you liked Joker Game add

...then you might like Princess Principal add

Princess Principal is basically Joker game, moe edition. Both are centered around spy rings and take place over 70 years ago (Joker game plays in the prelude to WWII, PP takes place in a steampunk version of late 19th century England). As such, both enter moral gray zones and make you question whether or not the guys you're following are really the 'good' ones. Lastly, as it appears, both are Episodic anime.

If you liked Youjo Senki add

...then you might like Shuumatsu no Izetta add

Both of these shows are one of the World Wars mixed with Mahou Shoujo's; while Shuumatsu no Izetta is about the 2nd WW, Youjo Senki is set in the first WW (which apparently started in 1924 now...)

If you liked Long Riders! add

...then you might like Bakuon!! add

Long Riders! is basically Bakuon!! done correctly. The characters are very similar (e.g. the MC who is new to the respective sport or the bespectacled friend with purple hair), they both have a relaxed air about them and are about rather similar themes (Long Riders! : Bikes, Bakuon!! : Motorbikes). Unlike in Bakuon!! however, the characters are actually likable instead of bewilderingly weird AND the completely out of place fanservice from Bakuon!! is also non-existent.

If you liked New Game! add

...then you might like Stella no Mahou add

Stella no Mahou is basically 'Amateur's New Game!'. By that I mean that in New Game!, one followed an adorable all-female cast of professional gamemakers on their way to a new title from the perspective of Aoba, who was new in the industry, whereas in Stella no Mahou, one follows an adorable all-female cast of highschoolers that want to make their own game from the perspective of Tamaki, who has little to no knowledge about making games.

If you liked Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari add

...then you might like Amaama to Inazuma add

Both anime are about a grown man raising a young child and have 'food' as their secondary theme. Also the man in both Amaama and Udon no Kuni happens to be voiced by the exact same guy. The main difference in these two anime is, that Udon no Kuni has some supernatural elements by having the child be a Tanuki who transformed into a boy, whereas in Amaama, the child is the man's own child.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Fukigen na Mononokean add

Both are, cut down to their basics, the Main character(s) helping certain Youkai in a semi-episodic format, meaning that some stories only take one episodes while others take multiple episodes to get resolved. Both also have a similar atmosphere and make (almost) everybody, including the Youkai, seem likable. In both anime, the MC(s) are also accompanied by an adorable Youkai that decided to stick with them on their own.

If you liked Shokugeki no Souma add

...then you might like Wakako-zake add

Both anime revolve around the topic of food and it's taste. While in SnS, the MC is an aspiring chef making more and more delicious dishes and giving people foodgasms, Wakako-zake is centers around a consumer of dishes. Wakako (the MC) walks into another establishment every episode and savors every bit of the food (or drink) she orders there. Also: SnS is a double-cour full-length anime while Wakako-zake is a single-cour short anime, meaning the latter doesn't have much in the way of in-depth story telling, lol... which however doesn't stop it from being an enjoyable title to watch.

If you liked Isshuukan Friends. add

...then you might like Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge add

The main similarity that came to my mind was the art-style and atmosphere: both Tanaka-kun and Isshuukan Friends have that adorable, fluffy art and feeling, which is standard for Hazuki Maacha (Mangaka of the latter). Both also have a very likeable cast of characters that are generally soft-spoken and rarely raise their voice and both also have (somewhat) subtle romance parts. Lastly, both will most likely be some of the more relaxing things you'll ever see (excluding the final part of 'IF' for this one) and can turn even the shittiest day around in a heartbeat.

If you liked Non Non Biyori add

...then you might like Flying Witch add

Both Non Non Biyori and Flying Witch are set in a rural place with the main character (Makoto Kowata in FW, Hotaru Ichijou in NNB) moving there from a city. Both are calm and soothing SoL anime that one can enjoy any time they want. The two differences are that a) in Non Non Biyori, the main cast consists of four girls of varying ages (and one guy without a voice, lol) while in Flying Witch, there's Makoto and two of her relatives, one male, one a young girl plus one other character per episode and b) Non Non Biyori is purely SoL while Flying Witch brings some Supernatural elements into the mix (as one MIGHT guess from the title)

If you liked Wakaba*Girl add

...then you might like Pan de Peace! add

Both are short anime and heart-attack inducingly adorable. Both are from the always amazing CGDCT genre and are good to just kick back and relax... not for too long though, as Wakaba*Girl is only 8 mins per episode and Pan de Peace is even shorter with 3 mins per episode.

If you liked Aura: Maryuuin Kouga Saigo no Tatakai add

...then you might like Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! add

In both anime, the male MC with a Chuunibyou-influenced past meets a girl, who is currently in her Chuunibyou-phase, in his first year in highschool. He then tries to get her out of her phase while in the meantime facing his own past. (mini spoiler) In the end, they both enter a relationship (though I guess it's not really 'in the end' in Chuunibyou). Aura feels a tad more serious though, as Chuunibyou had a lot more time to go through the serious phases and was thus able to have a good portion of comedy and romantic development in between, whereas Aura (due to it being a film rather than a 2-season-anime with a film and quite a few specials :p) has to cramp the entire development into a much smaller timeframe. This doesn't make either any less of a masterpiece in my eyes though =w=

If you liked Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou add

...then you might like Sakamoto desu ga? add

Ok, granted, NOTHING can stand up to Sakamoto in terms of Sakamoto-ness, but out of all the choices out there, I feel Danshi Koukousei is the one that at least comes close to being like... 1/3 Sakamoto. Both anime are heavily based on comedy and guys (and one on Sakamoto) and consist of multiple parts within a single episode connected through short transitions with a gag on their own. The main and also the only important difference is that only one of these two anime is about Sakamoto while the other one is about several groups of friends and their adventures in their daily lives.

If you liked Yama no Susume add

...then you might like Bakuon!! add

Both are about a bunch of adorable girls spending a lot of time with their hobbies (mountain climbing in Yama no Susume, Motorbike riding in Bakuon!!). They both also explain jargon used in the respective fields, making it easier to follow even for people that have little to no knowledge concerning said activities.

If you liked Haiyore! Nyaruko-san add

...then you might like Choujigen Game Neptune The Animation add

What really struck me as similar about the two was how they both pretend to be serious for about 10 seconds before going 'screw that' and being absolutely hilarious, Even the rare times where they get somewhat serious are filled with jokes. The other big part is the amount of references used in them. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san has even more of them, aye, but in both anime one can spend quite a lot of time trying (and failing) to find all the references.

If you liked Angel Beats! add

...then you might like Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

While these two might not have a lot in common at first glance (other than that they're both set in school and are about people, optionally living ones, lol), these two anime get surprisingly similar within the last 1-2 episodes. It's near impossible to explain this sufficiently without spoilers, so I'm just going to say it like this: if you've seen either of the two, the ending of the other will feel fairly familiar and be an equally big feels-trip.
