If you liked Hachimitsu to Clover add

...then you might like Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu add

Most Comedies fail because they consciously want to be funny or absurd or insane, as opposed to an honest spontaneity of characters merely being themselves -- a sort of anarchy of will. Fumoffu is a masterpiece of Comedy as Art, and no other uncompromising creativity can be seen elsewhere than in Honey and Clover. The punchlines, the exaggerations, the histrionics are all well-timed and natural. Fumoffu especially puts great detail and depth in the script, e.g. a professor not merely wanting to appear like a bore blabbering nonsensical philosophical jargon but actually makes a solid argument in the Alpbach Symposium and the deconstruction of the "frame". It is this apparent high level of intelligence put to work in both series that makes Honey and Clover and Fumoffu more similar than others. Another unexpectedly intelligent script comes from Hare Guu, especially Hare Guu Deluxe.

Hare Guu is another rare, character-driven Comedy that takes every little detail seriously. Hilarious everlasting.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

Evangelion is known for its artistic command of scale and its ability to express a sense of enormity, contrasted with physical and psychological isolation, has yet to be surpassed in all Art. Only Gurren Lagann has transcended the physical sense of scale of Eva. The iconic climax of End of Evangelion may have been influenced by the animation of Macross Plus.
