If you liked Claymore add

...then you might like Houseki no Kuni add

Both animes are about a female lead who begins as the weakest among a class of fighters and evolves through constant hardships to become among the strongest. Boiling the plots down to once sentence, they are the same. Both heavily feature revelations about the past, though Claymore has a greater focus on the backstory of the main character while Houseki has a greater focus on the backstory of the world. Both take place in an alternative world, although Claymore is more medieval while Houseski is more fantasy/futuristic. Both involve a motivating relationship between the main character and a supporting character who is not involved in most of the action but is always present on the main character's mind. In Claymore, the supporting character is a weak male while in Houseki it is a powerful girl. Overall, if you enjoyed one of these, there's a high probability you will enjoy the other, though you might not see the similarities until halfway through the season.

If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Tokyo Ghoul add

Do creatures who feed on humans have a right to live? That is the central question posed by both of these animes. Tokyo Ghoul is much more in-your-face about it, posing the question early on and embellishing it with lots of action and plot developments right off the bat. Shiki takes its time beating around the bush before it finally comes out with it, and for such a dark and heavy anime, there's remarkably little violence for most of the episodes. It takes a bit more patience than TG, but I absolutely recommend watching both to completion.

...then you might like Elfen Lied add

A major plot point for both animes is the development of a female lead who starts off as a completely blank slate, lacking even the ability to talk. In both cases, they fall in love with the male lead who initially found them by random chance and become responsible for them. In terms of subject matter, both animes deal with serious topics and deliver a meaningful message about society. They approach it from very different angles, however, as one focuses on a person who's not human while the other focuses on a misunderstood villain.
