If you liked Kamisama Hajimemashita add

...then you might like Konohana Kitan add

Both are interesting stories of often demi-human supernatural creatures or species with veneers of romance and art. Naturally Kamisama Hajimemashita is more arc-drived and also het, while Konohana Kitan is more slice of life with development, but very lesbian.

If you liked Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san add

...then you might like Tachibanakan Triangle add

Both short-runner slice-of-life anime with a lighthearted view of girl-girl romance. Tachibanakan is much lewder and more explicit, however Inugami and Nekoyama come off just as amusing.

If you liked To LOVE-Ru add

...then you might like Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou add

Harem ecchi involving non-human girls who get dropped on the main character. In the end, they all want him sexually and romantically. Protagonist is constantly at the mercy of his unwanted harem. First girl is a super-excitable ditz who is deeper than she appears.

If you liked Strawberry Panic add

...then you might like Shoujo Sect add

Both shows have a strong vein of past love, unrequited love, and sadness. Their main settings are girls-only boarding schools. Many similar character types exist. I'd go into details, but that would spoil lots of things. While the main difference between them is both length and sexuality (Shojo Sect is a 3-ep OVA hentai while Strawberry Panic is a 26-ep anime with mild-to-moderate ecchi), they're both worth a watch.

If you liked Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo add

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

A nice, mostly "normal" male protagonist (Yuuta/Kanda) meets an eccentric, socially-isolated female protagonist (Rikka/Mashiro) dealing with a condition which often has them living in their own internal world. While being surrounded by a group of crazy peers (Far East Magical Napping Society/Sakura Hall residents), they try to deal with their demons of growing up while becoming closer to said protagonist girl (who has demons of her own). Both are school life/high school animes, but differ on boarding school nature. Along the way, an unnoticed, unrequited love from a current or former close friend of the male protagonist interferes with the delicate relationship between the protagonist couple. Both are journeys of self-discovery while coming of age/growing up filled with a balance of comedy and drama. In this way, they have a very strong component in realism. For the main group, everyone's biggest strength comes back to bite them and their biggest weakness also has a moment of benefit. The symbolism and subtle things are prominent in both shows, adding a depth which is there if one doesn't miss it or refrain from looking for it, but you can understand the story without /all/ the depth. There are a lot of themes regarding reality, belonging, family, and love. Length-wise, Sakurasou is 24 episodes, and Chuunibyou is 24 episodes + 2 OVAs + 12 'Lite' shorts, so both end up telling the story in a similar length of watching time. The difference between the timelines is simple: Chuunibyou starts at the beginning of Year 1 of High School (10th Grade) and currently ends at the beginning of the second term of Year 2 (11th grade) (roughly April of Year 1 to September of Year 2, about 1.5 calendar years). Sakurasou starts at the beginning (first term) of Year 2 (11th grade) and currently ends at the beginning (first term) of Year 3 (12th Grade) (about 1 calendar year).

If you liked To LOVE-Ru add

...then you might like Kiss x Sis (TV) add

Both are highly-ecchi harem animes featuring female siblings and really nice but dumb harem focus boys. They're quite nice and both have some really nice plot development. A lot of the Kiss x Sis plot is in the (ongoing) manga, which is an option for To Love-Ru, but given the combination of To Love-Ru, Motto To Love-Ru, and To Love-Ru: Darkness, the anime itself covers a lot of the detailed plot development. They're both more optimistic looks on a harem.
