If you liked Narutaru: Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko add

...then you might like Uzumaki add

Both are anime that attempt being horror but due to their terrible animation quality they end up being unvoluntarily funny. Either way, both have merit for at least trying and could be blamed for being a bad adaptation. Watch them if you want to have a laugh and maybe get disturbed.

If you liked Dotto Koni-chan add

...then you might like Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan add

Both are gag humor anime featuring an overpowered main character that drives the series completely nuts. I'd really recommend the other if you want an anime where nothing makes sense at all.

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Hidamari Sketch add

Both are wholesome stories of schoolgirls having a good time together and forming a strong bond of friendship, with the ocassional intervention of a quirky teacher. Hidamari goes more the SOL way and Azumanga has a heavier focus on comedy, but I am sure that fans of any of the anime will surely enjoy the other series.

If you liked The Chocolate Panic Picture Show add

...then you might like The Flying Luna Clipper add

Both are pieces of experimental animation that you'd rather watch for the aesthetics and animation than a coherent plot, which does not exist nor it tries to exist.

If you liked Tanoshii Muumin Ikka add

...then you might like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

Both are iyashikei anime with philosophical undertones and have some social commentary undertones if you analyze them further. They're both adorable as well, so check the other if you want a similar experience.

If you liked Haikyuu!! add

...then you might like Ooi! Tonbo add

Both follow a protagonist who start playing a sport by their own rather than having learnt to play in a professional, conventional way. They also have a heartwarming story. If you would like another feel-good sports story please check the other series.

If you liked Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven add

...then you might like Tsui no Sora add

"Animation is an art" - Both are proofs of what happens when you make an animation without taking into account that phrase. Both are horrible stuff you can watch if you want to genuinely feel what is losing time feeling like.

If you liked Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

...then you might like Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei add

Both are dark comedies that feature a protagonist similar in appearance and personality: both are depressed, cynical, paranoid and overthinking, both also struggle with all that's wrong in the world for them to succeed. The animation in both also is similar, with surreal scenes and use of live-action imagery that enhances the feeling of angst and misery both protagonists undergo with. They are both pretty fast paced anime as well. (copied from my AniDB recommendation)

If you liked Idol add

...then you might like Undead add

Both are great MVs of Yoasobi which you cannot miss.

If you liked Mekakucity Actors add

...then you might like Yuri Kuma Arashi add

They're aesthetically similar and both also feature a confusing convoluted story. They both are heavily inspired by "Shoujo Kakumei Utena" and feature lots of references to it, so you might like it if you want something thematically similar. Do note that Yurikuma Arashi is quite explicit in content compared to Mekakucity Actors.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu add

...then you might like Wonder Egg Priority: Watashi no Priority add

Both are conclusions of suspense anime with the worst possible ending to ever exist. At least Sotsu was involuntary comedy.

If you liked Azumanga Daiou The Animation add

...then you might like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei add

If you like a comedy without much plot, focused on a group of students and their teacher, please check the other anime. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei in particular feels like a darker version of Azumanga.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku add

...then you might like Mekakucity Actors add

From the very, and I literally mean the very first scene you can see the similarities and the clear inspiration Mekakucity Actors took from Utena, particularly the movie. And is that both make use of surreal architecture, symbolism and avant-garde story telling that the enjoyers of each will likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga add

...then you might like Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan add

When you have a chaotic duo with absurd comedy and dirty jokes you might like the other anime.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

Please check the other anime if you are into surreal mystery series with a greatly written secondary cast, use of symbolism, banger soundtrack and genuinely WTF scenes.

If you liked Ficfyon7 add

...then you might like Airs add

Both are stop-motion shorts made by the same author and feature the same surreal analog horror vibes.

If you liked Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru: Fantasy Railroad in the Stars add

...then you might like The End add

If you want to see some audiovisual experience with unusual storytelling regarding what is death, please watch the other anime.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Monogatari Series: Second Season add

The second season of Monogatari and Utena have the same central topic: The perception of what we consider truth. Both Utena and Monogatari feature adolescent characters with psychological issues and unresolved traumas which are explored very in depth, with an heroic but imperfect protagonist, a well constructed apparent villain and a strong supporting cast. Both also have a lot of symbolism, experimental animation and questionable scenes. What are you waiting to try the other anime as well?

If you liked Mawaru Penguindrum add

...then you might like Nisemonogatari add

While most comparisons between Penguindrum and Monogatari are among Bakemonogatari, I feel like Nisemonogatari is even closer to Mawaru Penguindrum in that regard. The most obvious part being the focus on sibling relationships, weird fetishitic scenes and a liminal aesthetic. Both also some of the most WTF scenes of all anime.

If you liked Dotto Koni-chan add

...then you might like Vlad Love add

Do you like anime with lots of self-referential humor, parodies, satire and VERY unpredictable story? Please check the other anime, both Vlad Love and Koni Chan deserve to be more known.

If you liked Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! add

...then you might like Yojouhan Time Machine Blues add

Both have the premise of a person who travels to the past to meet their family and the different bizarre ocurrences that happen because of that. Both also have a similar style of dry humor, witty heavy dialogue and slaptick comedy. (copied from my AniDB recommendation)

If you liked Natsu no Arashi! add

...then you might like Yojouhan Time Machine Blues add

Two absurdist romantic comedy anime where the focus is on time travel and the different paradoxes it could create. Time travel here works in a similar way as well, as there is just one single timeline where the different mysteries presented are basically created by the other travels to the past. Animation style is also experimental in both, the biggest similarity being the use of real-life imagery. Heck, they're both charming comedies that you shouldn't miss if you like quirky romcoms. (copied from my AniDB)

If you liked Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! add

...then you might like Vlad Love add

They're both comedies written by Mamoru Oshii which has quite a lot of absurdist dry humor and dialogue-driven stories. Watch them if you like unusual, surreal and self-referential humor.

If you liked Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

Both have really quirky dialogue, witty characters and a good amount of dry humor. If you're in the mood for watching a dialogue-driven story please check the other anime.

If you liked Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga add

...then you might like Dotto Koni-chan add

Both were directed by Shinichi Watanabe, making it have the same type of random, non-sensical, over-the-top humor. IF YOU'RE LATIN AMERICAN PLEASE WATCH BOTH DUBBED.

If you liked Hi no Tori add

...then you might like Fumetsu no Anata e add

Both are highly philosophical tragedies that feature an immortal being who witnesses the changing eras of humanity, recommended if you like an adventure that goes beyond time.

If you liked Mouryou no Hako add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

If you're into dialogue driven stories, go check the other anime. Both are very heavy in dialogue, mostly about philosophical debates that, while they have little to nothing to do with the story, can delve in depth with Japanese mythology and wordplay. Really, both have a lot of wordplay and playing with Japanese Kanji. They are also supernatural mysteries as well about creatures that haunt people, although Mouryou no Hako only focuses in Mouryou, Monogatari series focuses on several creatures.

If you liked Muumindani no Suisei add

...then you might like Kimi no Na wa. add

If I had one nickel for every anime movie about a comet threatening to destroy a town I'd have two nickles, which isn't much, but it's curious it happened twice. Yeah if you want to see some natural disaster movies, please check the other film.

If you liked Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

...then you might like Shimeji Simulation add

Two atypical slice of life adventures with atypical style. I recommended both if you like unconventional stories and are a fan of slice of life. Not to mention that Chito and Yuuri also make cameos on Shimeji Simulation.

If you liked SiNK add

...then you might like Justice Runners add

If you like bizarre social commentary in the style of plasticky turn of the millennium CGI please watch the other short.
