If you liked New Game! add

...then you might like Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon add

It was going to be just another day at the office, but then *she* turned up. Sure, while in the case of 'New Game!' it was a new employee, and in 'Kobayashi-san' a giant, enamoured dragon; either will entertain a slice-of-life fan as they enjoy a comedy soup with just a dash of drama. If you like mostly female casts, get ready to gradually explore them, their histories and their motivations one by one as you watch lesbian romances disguised as friendships blossom.

If you liked Sakura Trick add

...then you might like New Game! add

Did you think Sakura Trick needed nicer art and vaguer lesbians? Well, you're in luck! Both slice-of-life comedies set in a world where men barely seem to exist, New Game! and Sakura Trick revolve around starting a new chapter in life - Yuu and Haruka start high school, and Aoba starts her first job at a video game company. Wonderfully designed characters tackle the challenges that accompany their transition, such as making new friends and adjusting to the change.

If you liked Jigoku Shoujo add

...then you might like Kuroshitsuji add

Would you make a deal with the devil? Would you give up your soul for the one thing you want more than anything? Both Kuroshitsuji and Jigoku Shoujo answer this question, and the answer is yes. Both series depict dark themes, especially revenge. Ai is similar to Ciel (besides their physical size, of course) since they both had too much death and despair forced upon them when they were too young and bear great responsibility.

If you liked Clannad add

...then you might like Grisaia no Kajitsu add

The word 'harem' generally has a static meaning, but Grisaia no Kajitsu and Clannad redefine it. Both are stunning school romance dramas, featuring similar protagonists. They follow the same formula, dedicating a few episodes to each of the girls. Both series are effective tearjerkers and are absolutely heartbreaking.

If you liked Kuroshitsuji add

...then you might like Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii add

Equal parts drama and comedy, both Kuroshitsuji and Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii feature a young boy (one far too cold and mature for his age) in a position of power who has to deal with both enemies and allies alike who wish to see him struck down from it. They also feature this boy's relationship with his butler, though this is focused on much more heavily in Kuroshitsuji. Both series contain supernatural elements and a historical setting.

If you liked Yuru Yuri add

...then you might like Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? add

Both are 1-cour, moeblob slice-of-life series. They have mostly female ensemble casts with a variety of characters; who are very easy to get attached to. Both Yuru Yuri and Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? are cute-girls-doing-cute-things comedies which are great for relaxing and dragging a laugh or two out of you - though Usagi's atmosphere is more relaxed than Yuru Yuri's.

If you liked Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life add

...then you might like Aoi Hana add

A shoujo ai series revolving around the romances and daily lives of a few very different girls, including two that grew up together. Both Candy Boy and Aoi Hana share a relaxed but emotional atmosphere, a school setting, heartwarming romance and a dash of comedy.

If you liked Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

...then you might like Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda add

After a meeting with a mysterious girl, a high schooler is thrust into a battle with the government for conquest. He must now delicately balance a double life - fighting to fulfill the ultimate goal while not arousing the suspicions of his friends - one of whom is working for the enemy. While both action series, the main difference between Sekai Seifuku and Code Geass is that while the latter is very dramatic and serious, the former rarely slips out of its lighthearted and comedic tone.

If you liked Fruits Basket add

...then you might like Shounen Maid add

A shoujo comedy manga with a young, hardworking protagonist who is left alone and homeless after the death of their mother. Both series start with the protagonist being taken in and depict their lives in their new household.

If you liked Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

...then you might like Black Bullet add

Set in a dystopia in the near future, post-war, society is made up of racist assholes. With plenty of action and science fiction themes; our main character, a powerful high school student, is on a mission and leads an army in a new war that could either save or destroy Japan. Both main characters rely on something to fight - Black Bullet uses young girls who are 'cursed children' while Code Geass uses giant robots called Knightmares - and both series share the same intense, yet sometimes softened, atmosphere.

If you liked Sankarea add

...then you might like Kokoro Connect add

Both Sankarea and Kokoro Connect present themselves as a supernatural romantic comedy - and they indeed are. However, on top of that, they also deal with a lot of darker and more serious drama; and blend these two aspects together very well. Both also entail a few people trying to keep a supernatural secret, exploring the depressing backstories of the main cast; and two female characters being in love with the male lead, though he only loves one of them.

If you liked Sankarea add

...then you might like Kamisama Hajimemashita add

A supernatural romantic comedy where a the FMC, a sweet girl with daddy issues, suddenly becomes a supernatural being and is taken in by and taken care of by the MMC, her future love interest. While both comedies, Sankarea is a lot more serious while Kamisama Hajimemashita is mostly lighthearted with a small amount of drama.

If you liked Oda Nobuna no Yabou add

...then you might like Akame ga Kill! add

In a medieval setting, the MMC joins up with a fighting group mostly made up of a bunch of kick-ass women. The group's goal is to take over the country, with good intentions of course. Both animes start out with comedy, though they get more serious as the story progresses. Both Oda Nobuna no Yabou and Akame ga Kill include light romance and share similar art styles.

If you liked Fruits Basket add

...then you might like Swap⇔Swap add

Both Fruits Baskets and Swap Swap are lighthearted, supernatural comedy mangas with slice of life atmospheres that revolve around a high school setting. Other than their supernatural element, which the main characters try to keep a secret, both are set in normal, everyday Japan. A large-ish group of characters are involved, but only a few actually matter to the plot.

If you liked Guilty Crown add

...then you might like Tokyo Ghoul add

The main character lives a very normal life until suddenly they are endued with a rare supernatural power and find themselves on one side of a war, against the government. The main character initially struggles with this power until they undergo trauma and as a result begin to lose their grip on their humanity. Both animes take place in a dark version of Japan and have lots of action and drama.

If you liked Ibara no Ou add

...then you might like Another add

The main character is introduced to a situation and setting in which everyone is in danger of dying by otherworldly means, and has to try to escape from the situation. In order to achieve this, they must figure out a) what the fuck is going on and b) who is behind it all. Both animes start with a large group of characters but by the end most have been thinned out and few survive. Another's ending and answer to the mystery is pretty conclusive... but King of Thorn just leaves you with more unanswered questions.

If you liked Angel Beats! add

...then you might like Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

In an abnormal high school setting, the dead, with unfinished business, attempt to remember their life, how they died and try to move on. Both series have heavy supernatural elements, light romance and EXTREMELY similar endings; but Angel Beats has a larger ensemble of characters and more comedy, while Dusk Maiden is a little darker and focuses more on the two main characters.

If you liked Ao no Exorcist add

...then you might like Owari no Seraph add

A teenage boy, desperate for revenge for his family after they were killed by a powerful, dark supernatural creature, seeks to enlist in a school for people who kill that kind of creature. His classmates and acquaintances serve as a supporting ensemble. Both series are action shounens with plenty of drama and heavy supernatural themes, though Owari no Seraph is a bit darker than Blue Exorcist.

If you liked Kannazuki no Miko add

...then you might like Himiko-den add

A high school girl (Himiko/Himeko) is suddenly thrown into an otherworldly situation with her closest friend to fulfil a predetermined destiny under a long-hailed title (Boka/Solar Priestess). Both series have some pretty legendary action scenes, heavy supernatural elements and a ton of drama. They're both 12 episodes as well so good if you're looking for someone shorter; and relatively happy endings.

If you liked Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai add

...then you might like Ano Natsu de Matteru add

Both are slice-of-life comedies that sometimes wander into more serious and emotional territory. They rely heavily on a group dynamic, which focuses on a couple members while the rest support. However, every character has a unique character design. Both series begin in a school setting with a new student and groups forming with a goal in mind, and they are eventually successful.

If you liked Sword Art Online add

...then you might like Btooom! add

Both involve characters being forced to play a video game against their will as a matter of life or death, and are goal oriented (Collect seven chips, clear 100 floors). Both also have interesting male-female partnership dynamics as the two main characters that eventually become romantic. Both couples have a lot of chemistry, but initially experience a lot of hostility in their relationship before they are forced to work together and bond.
