Season 2, Part 1 of Re:Zero- Subaru mulls over his mistakes and trauma throughout this arc. In the episode "Parent and Child", Subaru meets his parents and confronts his past during a fantastical trial offered by the Greed Witch. Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 - Shinji mulls over his mistakes and trauma throughout the movie.Shinji confronts his father, Gendo, in a surreal "Anti-Universe". In doing so, the movie explores Gendo's tragic past and his similarities to Shinji. Both show use fantastical frameworks to explore the psyches of their main characters. Both characters are kinda pathetic, lonely high school boys forced into dangerous circumstances due to the plot. There's also some weird time stuff going on, but that's [SPOILERS].

If you liked Hataraku Saibou Black add

...then you might like Meikyuu Black Company add

-Both shows explore the dreaded "Black Company" - Japanese workplaces exemplified by excessive overtime and power harrassment. -Both shows use monsters and fantasy as metaphors for the current workplace culture in Japan. The main difference, other than aesthetics, is that the main character for "Cells at Work: Code Black" is largely seen as a sympathetic, naive victim throughout the story. He starts out a naive, optimistic worker who attempts to work hard to improve the workplace conditions, only to slowly get burnt out and depressed from overworking. The main character of "Dungeon Black Company" starts out as successful NEET, becomes a victim to workplace exploitation, and continually attempts to use his co-workers to topple the reigning corporation and make some profit on the side. If you like shows that explore exploitative workplaces, then you'll probably like one of these shows.

If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

...then you might like BNA add

The premises of Tengen Toppa Gurrenn Lagann and BNA are essentially inversions of each other. In TTGL, the humans are forced into hiding due to conflict with "Beastmen"- a species of anthropomorphic animals who have the ability to shift into humanoid form. In BNA, the "Beastmen" are forced into hiding due to conflict with humans. The director, one of the scriptwriters, and the character designer of BNA have previously worked on Gurren Lagann. In all likelihood, if you like one series, you'll like the other. Both series explore the biology of its characters. TTGL has "Spiral Power", and BNA has the "Beastman Factor". These serve as explanations for the characters powers. Both series explore religion as a method of control, especially in impoverished areas. Both series explore the internal politics of a city, and the ways that governments attempt to police discontent within a populace. Both series also feature a character who inexplicably changes species. Both series also feature a character who is seemingly immortal. Both series also features a human being and a beastman who put aside their differences and ultimately work together for a common goal. Both series share similar themes about believing in oneself and the power of change and evolution.
