If you liked Kill la Kill add

...then you might like Shokugeki no Souma add

Both elevate a mundane topic (food/clothing) into an epic tale through over-the-top drama and ridiculous sexual humor.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Carole & Tuesday add

This is a weird comparison to make, since the stories of these two anime are quite different. Cowboy Bebop is about existential loneliness and being a cowboy, while Carole & Tuesday is about the power of human connection and being a musician. Still, Carole & Tuesday was clearly heavily influenced by Cowboy Bebop. Both anime have a strong sense of place, a miniseries format with a clear ending in sight, and slower pacing, making them overall feel more artistic. They both include respectful portrayals of gender noncomformity and queerness. More obviously, they both have futuristic sci-fi settings that are still gritty and "real" (as opposed to shiny and alien). If you liked one for its overal thoughtfulness and sci-fi elements, you may like the other.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Houseki no Kuni add

Anyone who likes one will almost definitely like the other. They have very different settings, but so many plot elements and vibes in common: - an inherently "weak" protagonist devoted to a mysterious parent-like character - character studies; large group of characters - strange almost-aliens that attack from the sky; whole societies buiilt around fighting these creatures off - fantastical world-building that is unveiled slowly, so that you are always left more curious - subtle treatment of gender/sexuality - ptsd - wholesome coming-of-age vibes that hide something terribly, existentially sad underneath - GORGEOUS animation etc etc

If you liked Ouran Koukou Host Club add

...then you might like Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen add

Goofy, over-the-top romance with a school-club backdrop. Progressive character development that has just enough sadness to tug on your heartstrings but not enough to make you genuinely depressed.

If you liked Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon add

...then you might like Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii add

Subtle slice-of-life romance with humor, heart, and adult protagonists
