Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou

...then you might like
Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san
|
Cromartie is pretty much the spiritual successor to Sexy Commando. Both are filled with nonsensical plots and characters, deadpan responses, and overall weirdness.

Seitokai no Ichizon
|
If you were the type that paused every 5 seconds to read the blackboard gags, or rewind to catch that flurry of jokes you missed; Seitokai no Ichizon has the same kind of rapid-fire comedy that it shares with Pani Poni Dash

Sasameki Koto

They are both yuri series that are a bit on the realistic side
If you liked
Strawberry Panic

...then you might like
Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life
|
Although it's never blatantly obvious, the quasi-implied twincest of Candy Boy would definitely pique the interest of anyone who fully enjoyed the raging lesbo fest of Strawberry Panic.
If you liked
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
|
...then you might like
Maria†Holic
|
Maria+Holic's lead is essentially a parody of OtoBoku's main character. The premise that causes them to do what they do is similar, but minus the sadism and arrogance in Maria+Holic's main character.
If you liked
Beck
|
...then you might like
K-On!
|
Both of these series focus around a band struggling to 'make it big'. BECK is the more mature of the two animes, while K-ON has all the comedy.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
|
Both series exhibit a bizarre, nonsense brand of humor. Neither series makes the slightest bit of sense, but are utterly hilarious.

Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel♥Saga
|
...then you might like
Dai Mahou Touge
|
Both series share an offbeat, sometimes hectic, black sense of humor. However Excel Saga focuses more on impulse, while Dai Mahou Touge uses sadism to deliver a punchline.
If you liked
Ranma ½
|
...then you might like
Asu no Yoichi!
|
Asu no Yoichi is a spiritual successor to Ranma's "Martial Arts Comedy Romance" genre. There's a family dojo with sisters, the main characters practice a martial art, and there's lots of accidental falling in cleavage moments.
If you liked
School Rumble
|
...then you might like
Hatsukoi Limited.
|
Very similar in the fact that both series rely on complicated love triangles (probably being too generous here. You'd need a flow chart to map out the love interests) as a major plot device.
If you liked
Maria-sama ga Miteru

...then you might like
Maria†Holic
|
Maria+Holic is pretty much a parody of the Catholic girl's school life that Marimite portrays.
If you liked
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
|
...then you might like
Maria†Holic
|
Both are Studio SHAFT productions under the helm of Akiyuki Shinbo, which rely on fast paced gags, puns, and innuendos. The style of comedy is similar, and some of the jokes cross over from Zetsubou-Sensei
If you liked
Paniponi Dash!

...then you might like
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
|
Both are Shaft productions, have teachers as main characters, and rely on gags, puns, and cultural references. Just like Zetsubou-sensei, PPD is chock full of lightning fast chalkboard gags.
If you liked
Elfen Lied
|
...then you might like
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
|
Although Higurashi leans more towards character tension, while Elfen Lied relies on shock value: Both are bloody, scary, and suspenseful. Both series also have bipolar moments where they completely switch genres and look "innocent".
If you liked
Azumanga Daiou The Animation
|
...then you might like
Minami-ke
|
Both are slice-of-life comedies primarily about girls in school. They both rely on comedic timing as well, but Minami-ke's jokes tend to be a bit more mean at times.

Both are funny, slower paced slice-of-life comedies that rely heavily on comedic timing.
If you liked
Hotaru no Haka

...then you might like
Hadashi no Gen
|
It will also make you cry... A lot. The tears will not stop flowing if you watch either of these. They both portray tear jerking tragedies caused during World War 2.
If you liked
Clannad
|
...then you might like
ef: A Tale of Memories.
|
They aired at the same time, so many people completely overlooked ef in favor of Clannad. However, they both are compelling tales of several characters and how their lives intertwine together in a small town.
If you liked
Maria-sama ga Miteru
|
...then you might like
Strawberry Panic
|
Strawberry Panic is pretty much MariMite, but the characters are all raging lesbos. Not that I'm complaining...
