If you liked Rance: Sabaku no Guardian add

...then you might like Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu add

Mushoku was inspired by Rance, which makes Rance like Mushoku's cooler older brother. The main character Rance was the main inspiration for Paul, only we're not supposed to think Rance is cool or pine for the days when male characters could be written this way without SJWs trying to "cancel" the series. We're supposed to laugh at him. Rance is intentionally a piece of shit whose frequent rapes, physical abuse of his slave, and awful dialogue are entirely played for dark comedy. Rance is basically Conan the Barbarian portrayed as a 1980s anime pervert. Like Mushoku, Rance is a Western Fantasy and RPG inspired power fantasy for horny young men. However, it never makes the mistake of taking itself seriously or actually asking the viewer to like or respect Rance as a person. Even his name is seemingly taken from the English word "Rancid" meaning "smelling unpleasant as the result of being old and stale". If you wish Mushoku was written a lot more like the original Dragonball or Dr Slump, this is the anime for you!

If you liked Hokuto no Ken Movie add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV) add

If you saw JoJo 2012 and decided you really like manly men doing manly things, you will love Hokuto no Ken: the movie from 1984. The manliest anime EVER! Accept no substitutes!

If you liked Trigun add

...then you might like Seihou Bukyou Outlaw Star add

Both of these series are space westerns that mix action and zany comedy with occasional drama and thought provoking moments. If you liked one, then you will probably like the other.

If you liked Hetalia Axis Powers add

...then you might like Kill Me Baby add

It has the same humor, art style, and the characters including their personalities and dynamics are similar. Sonya and Yasuna are essentially clones of Germany and Italy, only girls and put in a school setting.
