If you liked Trigun add

...then you might like Eat-Man add

There is no better way to say it - Eat-man is a copy of Trigun. You have enigmatic main character whose backstory is slowly discovered. Setting is somewhat futuristic world of wild west feel. Both are old style sci-fi stories and even the animation look very similar. However Trigun is definitely the better of the two.

If you liked Lodoss-tou Senki add

...then you might like Guin Saga add

Both fantasy, both set in fictional worlds, in boths our heroes become main characters almost by accident, there is some serious world-building in both series. Protagonists must overcome great deal of danger. There is difference in art style, and Lodoss is closer to high fantasy genre, where Guin is closer to Conan-like (sword and sandals) fantasy.

If you liked Lodoss-tou Senki add

...then you might like Seirei no Moribito add

Both series are about traveling band of heroes with ultimate goal of saving the world. Classics in fantasy genre. Moribito is closer to the martial arts fantasy, where Lodoss is tolkien-esk fantasy. Animation is different, but it is mainly because of the age difference between series.

If you liked xxxHOLiC add

...then you might like Fukigen na Mononokean Tsuzuki add

Both series are centered around humans who can see yokai and through story learn to live with their gift. There are episodic monsters and overarching stories. Both series also have humorous side to them, although xxxHolic is more dramatic in tone from time to time.

If you liked Prison School add

...then you might like Grand Blue add

Similar art style, practicly identical style of humour. There are connections to school life (one high school and other university). And of course there is very prominent adult humour (although in Prison School it is much more - hardcore would be best way to describe it).

If you liked Denki-gai no Honya-san add

...then you might like Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san add

Both series take place mainly in Manga/Book store, both are comedies centered mainly around topic of selling and appreciating books/mangas, both use humor to shed little light to behind the scene of inner workings of book shop, even type of humor is similar. Main difference is that Honda-san´s character design is more fantastic where Denkigai is normal (well 16yo girl looking like 9/10yo but other than that trope - normal)

If you liked Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin add

...then you might like Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records add

Setting of both shows is pretty similar: World in a time around post industrial era (though with a difference being, Rokudenashi is set in a world where magic exists) Main protagonists have two sides to them (on one hand they are just and caring, on the other they can be calculating and pragmatic) There are some instances of world building, though there is fewer of them in Rokudenashi) As for art style and theme of the show, Rokudenashi is more goofy one, there are numerous humorous scenes. Nejimaki is the better of the two but Rokudenashi is quite similar so I would recommend it (but be warned, the last episode took quite a nosedive in quality and whole plote seemed to me quite rushed).

If you liked Made in Abyss add

...then you might like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

Both series are chibi styled. Both feature strong women character. Both are in somewhat distopian world of futuristic nature with nostaligic or retro-future style (Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is heavily styled after WW2, Made in Abyss styled in late 19th century). Both series have strong dramatic moments with comedy reliefs from time to time.

If you liked Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna add

...then you might like Space☆Dandy add

Both shows have similar style of animation and character design. Both shows use comedy and drama. Although Space Dandy is more comedic, where Lupin the Third is more dramatic. Both shows have present strong element of criminal underworld, but Lupin from perspective of criminal and Space Dandy of detective/bounty hunter. Space Dandy is set in futuristic world, and Lupin in past era likely 60´s or 70´s.

If you liked Michiko to Hatchin add

...then you might like Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna add

Both shows are centered around outlaws. Both have heavily prominent element of criminal underworld. Both shows use drama and comedy. Visual style is very similar, with use of vibrant colours, character design seems heavily influenced by design of 70´s era as well as rest of the designs.

If you liked The Big O add

...then you might like Ergo Proxy add

Both series are based in somewhat distopian worlds. Ergo Proxy is quite desolate world, where The Big O is just a little distopian (think Mad Max and Blade Runner in comprarison). Ergo proxy is more of a drama and psychological exploration, where The Big O is more stylised as a crime noir drama, even show design is based in 30´s america. Both are action based but with heavy dramatic scenes and quite significant character development. The Big O animation seems little old by todays standards, but given design of the show I think it is not that much of a hindrance.

If you liked Steamboy add

...then you might like Princess Principal add

Both are placed in alternate history sometime around victorian era in Britain. Both are heavily influenced by steampunk genre. Both are more serious series and deal with military and politics, although Princess Principal more so than Steamboy.

If you liked Joker Game add

...then you might like Princess Principal add

Both series are based around spies. Stories revolve around their missions. Tone is serious and dramatical. Joker Game is based in real world history between WW1 and WW2, where Princess Principal take place in alternate steampunk version of victorian era.

If you liked Kyougoku Natsuhiko: Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari add

...then you might like Mononoke add

Both series have quite distinctive art style, though not same. Mononoke use brigter colours, where Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari is more muted and use darker colours. In both series story revolves around supernatural in form of human depravities or ghosts or other creatures. Both are heavily influenced by japanese folklore and myths. Both are set around edo period of Japan. Both are for older audience in tone, though Mononoke is not as violent.

If you liked Kyougoku Natsuhiko: Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari add

...then you might like Petshop of Horrors add

Both series deal with supernatural based on myths and legends, both are for older audience as they deal with more complex themes like morality and are to some extent quite violent. Petshop of horrors has little different art style, though it is similarly darker, stories are set in present day (or at least present day at time of creatiion of anime) while kousetsu hyaku monogatari is set in edo period.

If you liked Senkou no Night Raid add

...then you might like Joker Game add

Both series are similar in their attemp to portrai more realistic version of spy world (Joker Game more so than Senkou no Night Raid) compared to such classics as Bond Novels. Both are in same time period, that is before WW2. Art style is also quite similar. Joker Game has more episodic aproach, so every episode there are new mysteries and new spies, although there is some connecting tissue. Senkou no Night Raid has story arc through whole series. Joker Game is more reality based, although protagonists are top of their respective fields, they are still humans. Senkou no Night Raid is more fantastic, more in line of all powerful action superheroes of yesteryear.

If you liked Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken add

...then you might like Ojisan to Marshmallow add

Both series are shorts, both are depicting unlikely relationships and are centered around everyday lifes of main protagonists. In both series women are "normal" ones. In Danna ga Nani husband is otaku and computer geek and in Ojisan to Marshmallow Hige-san is marshmallow fan. Danna ga Nani depicts life of unlikely maried couple, where Ojisan to Marshmallow depicts forming of relationship. Both series are quite hillarious, with similar type of humor.

If you liked Usagi Drop add

...then you might like Natsuyuki Rendezvous add

Both series have similar tone, they are about ordinary (well except for one ghost) people strugling in their ordinary lives. Both are realisticly depicting emotions and frustrations in such ways that anyone can relate to them. They are for more mature audience. Usagi Drop is more about paternal and maternal love, where Natsuyuki Rendezvous is more about romantic love. Both series are bittersweet. Animations has similar feel for both of them. Natsuyuki Rendezvous has supernatural element in one of three main characters and fairy tales sequences are small departure from reality, but their function is just to express through visual internal emotions of characters, same way dreams would.

If you liked Bartender add

...then you might like Moyashimon add

Well, I start with saying those two animes are like Day and Night. Both are targeted at different audience, has different tone, narrative style, well almost everything, BUT there is one similarity. That is descriptive educational style of presenting additional information of things occuring in story and that is all. So if you liked that give this one go, otherwise try something else.

If you liked Bartender add

...then you might like Ristorante Paradiso add

To be honest these two series are quite different, but Bartender is in itself departure from classic format of storytelling so it would be hard to find something which is more similar. Both series are more adult oriented, stories and conflicts are from everyday life. Tone of both series is more grounded in reality. Both series has reccuring characters but given nonlinear form of Bartender, in Ristorante Paradise they are more prominent. Although it is non descriptive they have similar feel to them, they feel more like people you would meet on the street. Both are more dramatic, with very little comedic moments (although Ristorante is more lighthearthed) Bartender is however very episodic with little to none overall story and is more of a salute to Bar culture. Ristorante Paradiso has more substantial overall story and has more insight in Restaurant culture.

If you liked Gallery Fake add

...then you might like Master Keaton add

First of all animation style is quite similar. Both series have more realistic look. Themes are very similar, both deal with art in some form. Storie are more adult themed, more natural, and perception of problems and protagonist is more grey then black or white. Protagonist are very simillar, both are respected profesionals with exceptional talents. Gallery Fake is more about art world (wheter legal or illegal) it is also little more lighthearted with occasional laughs. Master Keaton is more serious, it is more drama oriented.

If you liked Golden Time add

...then you might like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso add

Both are about school life, love and life struggles, both deals with lost of dear or loved ones, both balance on fine line between drama and comedy - Shigatsu is more comedic and Golden time more dramatic. Although story is quite differnt there is element of person who helps overcame difficulties from past for main character. Shigatsu is more oriented towards music, but it is just setting so it shouldn´t matter too much. I would say both series has similar wibe to them.

If you liked Strait Jacket add

...then you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood add

Both series are set in worlds similar to those of industrial revolution. In both world exist magic/alchemy as a form of science. Main protagonists fight against supernatural threats under militaristic organisations. Protagonists are troubled by complicated pasts. World of Strait Jacket is without comedy and feels darker than that of Fullmetal Alchemist.

If you liked D.Gray-man add

...then you might like Strait Jacket add

Both series are set in worlds similar to those of industrial revolution. Both series acknowledge existence of magic as form of science. Main protagonist is part of organisation fighting against supernatural threats. Both worlds are quite grim/dark. Animation is also similar. Design of demons feels similar. Strait jacket feels more like military anime where D-Gray Man feels more magic based. And unfortunately Strait Jacket is only 3 episodes long so story ends with many questions unanswered, although it is quite selfcontained triplet of stories.

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Jormungand add

Both series are very similar. We learn about an organization through a new character. In both series, characters are members of hired guns (in Black Lagoon, smugglers and in Jormungand, mercenaries for arms dealer). Both have a very similar pace. Both use light humor to relieve tension in dramatic scenes. Both series also have a more realistic take on underworld society (well except for teenage mercenary on par with ex SAS military).

If you liked Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch add

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

Similarities : mecha, heroes starts as rebel force fighting against much more powerful opponent, there is one strongly determined leader to whom everybody look up to. Mysterious power working behind scene. Differences: while Gurren Lagann is mainly using comedy to relieve tension after dramatic moments (and there is plenty of those), Code Geass use more serious note in its storytelling.

If you liked Gankutsuou add

...then you might like Hellsing Ultimate add

Mysterious main characters, both stories based on popular novels (Beam Stokers Dracula albeit very loosely, Alexander Dumas Count Monte Christo). Both have struggle of main character with world as is presented. Scheming of some characters. Existence of mystical or supernatural powers. Although with some anachronisms both series are set in future (farther to future stronger the anachronism).

If you liked Hellsing Ultimate add

...then you might like Kuroshitsuji add

Existence of the mystical or supernatural powers. Both main characters pasts are uncovered during run of the series. Sebastian and Alucard fulfill similar roles to their masters. Both series present different view on relationship between demon and human.
