If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Noragami add

Similar urban setting, witty dialogues, fight scenes and supernatural elements to be found in both. Durarara focuses on various characters on Tokyo's Ikebukuro district. The latter is more centered on the main character and has more shounen aspects. Durarara overall has a longer run and feels more mysterious. Noragami is more accessible. Either way they still settle the same atmosphere and keep you on the seat.

If you liked Centaur no Nayami add

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

Fantasy-oriented SOL comedies featuring mythological creatures living in the real world (in the case of Kobayashi-san, dragons). Some shoujo ai undertones are present throughout as well as fanservice. Although one is different and probably more drama-focused than the other, they all make for a relaxing read.

If you liked A Kite add

...then you might like Gantz add

Exploitative series with violence, bloodshed and sex. Only major differences is that A Kite doesn't deal with aliens, is more shorter and has the hentai tag.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Dance in the Vampire Bund add

Dance in the Vampire Bund is exactly if a person like Shinobu got it's main role for another anime, and it does it's job right: - Both by Shaft, have a plot dealing with the supernatural and some fearsome characters. - Action's evident on both, but it's more noticeable in Vampire Bund. - Aside from similar Shaftiness (widescreen intros, quick camera cuts and awesome cinematography), they also share good amounts of drama and fanservice. - Telling the differences, Bakemonogatari is more mysterious and weirder and deal with more supernatural beings, and Vampire Bund is less dialogue-focused, so you'll focus more on the whole action than people mostly talking in order to solve their problems.

If you liked Samurai Champloo add

...then you might like Gintama add

Same samurai living concept. Humor in both (more prevalent in Gintama). Both have hungry characters and quite of an episodic storyline. Fights are badass and people chill out when bored. Differences Samurai Champloo isn't sci-fi. Gintama is more longer and doesn't focus more on it's soundtrack values.

If you liked Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster add

...then you might like Strike Witches add

A girl is taken to another place in order to fight with a team. Action? Check! Sci-Fi? Check! Fanservice? Check! Friendship themes? Check! The most notable difference is that Gunbuster is mecha while Strike Witches is more mahou shoujo.

If you liked Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster add

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

Gainax. Epic mecha-driven plots encouraging hard work, friendship and teamwork. And, accompanied by comedy and drama elements (but you'll have more laughs on TTGL than the 1st season of Top wo Nerae), and fanservice. Both have characters who stand and pose themselves by crossing their arms. Gunbuster shows a more femenine attitude, while you'll shed manly tears after watching TTGL. Good animes if you love mecha.

If you liked Mononoke add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

If you see the sypnosis of both animes, they may not look too similar: Mononoke is about a medicine seller in which job is to try to protect people from Mononoke/demons, while Madoka is basically an Evangelion-like turn on magical girls. If you watch both animes, then you'll be surprised that they would look somewhat similar: plot twists, weird imagery, unsettling moods, fighting against monsters, and places taken something from an overly surreal world. Mononoke is more episodic as it tells a different story through it's arc-driven plot, but if you're looking for dark, psychedelic anime, then those shouldn't be missed.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

They may not be too similar like you are thinking, but since they're made by SHAFT, you'll expect similar stuff on both: -Thought-provoking dialogues -Twists on the storyline -Weird visuals -Creativity -Similar Japanese voice cast -Slow-motion head tilts

If you liked Mononoke add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

Very supernatural, mysterious, Japanese, arc-driven series. Both have psychedelic art, one of them having it as a basis for the whole anime. Paying attention is the norm for watching the two series. One thing though, while both animes have Mystery tags, Mononoke falls more into the horror genre, while the Monogatari series is focused more on romance and fanservice.

If you liked Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai add

...then you might like Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. add

Characters try to make friends throughout club activities. Haganai has the extra ecchi and harem tags, while OreGairu contains less fanservice and lewd references, and instead focuses more on it's witty dialogue and outside-club activities.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Mirai Nikki (TV) add

Psycho relationships with the male main character of the show, showing a good example of yanderes. Thrillers with weird storylines and very violent scenarios. And pretty moe artstyles. Dissimilarities Mirai Nikki isn't really a "harem". Higurashi hasn't a Hunger Games like plot.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Shinsekai yori add

Both involve living in the small parts of Japan. - In Higurashi because the MC had to move on there. - In Shinsekai Yori because it takes place on a dystopia on the new millenium. They also involve horror, mystery and emotional moments. Just don't get fooled by the moe artwork of Higurashi.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Concepts about "time traveling" are being noticed in both shows and the characters try to handle it. These thrillers also start out like comedies, and later takes turns for the worse. WARNING: Higurashi has violence and gore and isn't acceptable to watch at midnight or a very public place. Unless you're not afraid of it.

If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

...then you might like Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

Both put the design of moeblob characters and add them into dark scenarios. Higurashi has gore and is more focused on mystery and murder. Madoka is less violent, but still surreal. You can see some similarities in the plot elements as well, such as replaying time. Both are recommended for brutal moe fans. But Madoka has 99% less blood than Higurashi so far as I know, so pick your poison. Highly recommended for horror/thriller fans as well.

If you liked Freezing add

...then you might like High School DxD add

Harem panty fighter shows with similar relationships in romance and battles. DxD is more popular because of it's very perverted nature. Women also fight and get their clothes broken while battling. But Freezing tells a more mature story, and the clothes aren't the only thing the girls get ripped off.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Freezing add

They're not afraid to combine blood with naked females while a dark story goes on.

If you liked Inferno Cop add

...then you might like Ninja Slayer From Animation add

They mark Trigger's infamous direction outside Kill La Kill, Inou-Battle, Little Witch Academia, and the currently-airing Hacka Doll. They're known for having low-budget animation, crazy dialogue and twists, mostly undeveloped supporting characters, tropes and the like. If the mind of a little kid had made an anime, those two may be it. Please note that Ninja Slayer has pretty much of a bigger budget than Inferno Cop, so don't expect 100% cut-out animation on the first.

If you liked Bleach add

...then you might like Gintama add

Long samurai shounens that aired in the same TV station. Gintama brings out the laughs and references, and Bleach tries it's way to be more darker.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like One Punch Man add

By far later episodes of One Punch Man really gave me a strong Gintama vibe. Why? * They both are about the misadventures of it's heroes (Gintama with a samurai, OPM with a tokusatsu hero) * REALLY similar parodic humor, including high levels of randomness. * In plot, both would start out without a particular story arc whatsoever until this kind of stuff would later come, while Gintama tries to be more episodic with it's own arcs. * Both also have good fight scenes. There are some dissimilarities, like OPM having less females and a highly overpowered MC, and Gintama touching a lot of references to other series and being more longer. They will not dissapoint in the anime comedy zone and will get you hooked for more. And also, be sure to check out the OPM manga if you want more of it.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Inferno Cop add

Fans of nonsense comedy would like or love both FLCL and Inferno Cop, since they feature weird plot twists and clever dialogue, while those two look way different on each other.

If you liked Bakemonogatari add

...then you might like Sankarea add

Characters deal with the supernatural with a similar atmosphere and artstyles, featuring fanservicy shots. Dissimilarities One has a focused straight normal relationship, while the other is pretty much "harem", think about that. Bakemonogatari doesn't show nudity like Sankarea's level, but the latter shows 25% less fanservice in quantity. Bakemonogatari mostly focuses on "arrebations" and vampires. Sankarea instead makes it's direction into zombies. There's a mystery involving on each character on Bakemonogatari compared to just one in Sankarea.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster add

Classic Gainax shows that made a major influence on the mecha genre and Gainax itself, with Gunbuster being more accessible and NGE being more psychological.

If you liked Sekirei add

...then you might like Freezing add

Similar relationships with men and women in fights. Magical powers in both. Both have ecchi/harem combo. Ripping off clothes in both whenever there's a fight. Freezing is more serious and violent, and Sekirei is more focused on funny/pandering fanservice. With two seasons, they can count as 24 episodes each minus specials. (If you count them, Freezing has more.)

If you liked Durarara!! add

...then you might like Gatchaman Crowds add

They're both related to the internet and the social relationships that occur on it. While Durarara is packed with urban legend based action, the characters from Gatchaman Crowds work as secret superheroes.

If you liked Toaru Kagaku no Railgun add

...then you might like Gatchaman Crowds add

They share the similiarity of high school students which also work as superheroes. Electronic music and city living ensue.

If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

...then you might like Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai add

A man and his odd son (in the case of FMA:B, his brother in an armor, and in the case of Unbreakable Machine-Doll, his automaton) must fight for survival with their magical powers. Both animes are also placed in an older timeline, and have good music and characters. Differences: Unbreakable Machine-Doll is a shorter ecchi, while Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is more of a violent shounen. The characters from UMD live in a dorm school, while the main brothers from FMA must get on a long trip to see if they get their real bodies back.

If you liked Seikon no Qwaser add

...then you might like High School DxD add

High School DxD has to unite a number of breasts, while Seikon no Qwaser abuses them by sucking them. Both are also accompained by shounen action and a large number of female characters.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Kill la Kill add

I just watched the first episodes of both and around 7 minutes while starting to watch KLK some of the characters really gave me a FLCL vibe. They also have a significant weird factor, but FLCL takes it's dementia to the extreme. These two shows can also be compared with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in terms of Gainax nature and soundtracks, with them having their own respective shining features. Those 3 shows = Gainax heaven. (But KLK was made by a different studio to be honest)

If you liked Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann add

...then you might like Kill la Kill add

Kill la Kill is actually the femenine version of TTGL. They also feature a similar artstyle and memorable songs. While TTGL is mecha, Kill la Kill is based off the magical girl genre. Even the guys in that show can be "magical".
