If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Mawaru Penguindrum add

Both mix the mundane and often tragic real life with colorful, crazy casts and bizarre circumstances. Both showcase teens coming of age, but neither wallow in angst. They share similar animation styles (bright colors, very expressive character designs, visual gags, jumpy sequences, fanservice) and boast great soundtracks. Both have staff members from Revolutionary Girl Utena, if not the same ones. Both series can be confusing at times, but they're also very creative and rewarding. Penguindrum is a little more refined than FLCL, and FLCL is more experimental than Penguindrum. It's also much shorter with just six sweet episodes compared to Penguindrum's 24.

If you liked Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi add

...then you might like Sacred Seven add

Both link a white-haired boy with a very special, magical girl. Both rely on similar archetypes (another female love interest in contrast the lead female, a dark-haired rival for the white-haired boy, etcetera) and both link high school life and romance with fantasy and action. Also both have nasty monsters and plenty of teen angst! Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi is vampire-based and has more romance; Sacred Seven is mecha-based and has more action. Sacred Seven has better production values although Kuro Usago has more colors.
