If you liked Persona 4 the Animation add

...then you might like Sarazanmai add

Both of these shows emphasise accepting ones' faults and admitting hard secrets in order to forge bonds. Both play up the power of friendship trope. Additionally, in both cases, the protagonists enter an alternate world to fight the evil in peoples' minds.

If you liked Persona 5 the Animation add

...then you might like Sarazanmai add

Both series focus on the importance of bonds and defeating the evil in peoples' psyche. A good portion of both series take place in an alternate world. Sarazanmai is a bit on the wackier side, but many of the core messages and themes of these series are the same.

If you liked Kiznaiver add

...then you might like Sarazanmai add

Both are colorful series that focus on characters and the importance of bonds. Kiznaiver leans more sci-fi and Sarazanmai leans more supernatural/fantasy.

If you liked Tokyo Ghoul add

...then you might like Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu add

A young man gets fused with a monster that hungers for human flesh and has to battle other monsters and struggle with adapting to his new life and what it means to be human. The plotlines for Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul are extremely similar and both occupy the action-horror genre. Tokyo Ghoul is more battle-focused and action-packed, while Parasyte is more body horror.

If you liked Made in Abyss add

...then you might like Yakusoku no Neverland add

Both are mysteries about orphaned children who explore and discover horrible secrets about the worlds they live in. Both shows are pretty dark. In both shows, this tone is contrasted by the presence of an optimistic and driven female protagonist. They are both excellent, high-quality stories with great world-building.

If you liked Meiji Tokyo Renka add

...then you might like Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes add

Both shows have an otome feel and romance elements. Meiji Tokyo Renka is a historical isekai, while Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes centers around appraising antiques. Both have a similar atmosphere and overall vibe. If you are a fan of either show, you will more than likely like the other.

If you liked Shoujo Kakumei Utena add

...then you might like Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight add

Surreal shows packed with symbolism, beautiful art direction, musical sword battles, and a cute animal mascot. Although having an overall lighter and more optimistic tone, Revue Starlight feels like a spiritual successor to Utena.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Prison School add

Sex jokes. Bathroom Humor. S&M. This about sums up the comedic styles of both Prison School and Gintama. The shows have excellent comedic timing, lowbrow humor, and lots of S&M fanservice. Unlike Prison School, Gintama mixes in a lot of parody humor, as well as action, feels, and serious arcs. Both shows are amazingly executed.

If you liked Aku no Hana add

...then you might like Kuzu no Honkai add

These are both heavy coming of age stories that revolve around tumultuous relationships and broken people. Sexuality is a heavily emphasized theme in both shows and the main characters both pair up with people that bring out the worst in them. Both have a school setting. If you enjoy the characters and character interactions in one, you'll enjoy the other as well. For differences, Kuzu no Honkai has unrequited love/lust as a main theme, while Aku no Hana focuses a lot on fetishism (mainly sadism/masochism).

If you liked Fukigen na Mononokean add

...then you might like Rokuhou-dou Yotsuiro Biyori add

Both are heartwarming slice-of-life shows with a beautiful male cast. They both have an episodic format in which the main characters help someone with their problems. Both have lighthearted and touching atmospheres. The settings for both shows differ a bit. Fukigen na Mononokean has a more fantasy/sci-fi setting because it centers around helping yokai with their problems, while Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori is set in a cafe where the staff helps people with their problems. If you enjoy one, you'll probably enjoy the other.

If you liked Tokyo Ghoul add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Premises are very similar. Main character gets fused with evil/dark being, gains its' powers, and has internal struggles from trying to cope with being both human and a demon/ghoul. Both are dark, gritty, and violent. Devilman Crybaby more heavily emphasizes sexuality as a theme than Tokyo Ghoul. If you enjoy one, you'll probably enjoy the other.

If you liked Kiznaiver add

...then you might like Darling in the FranXX add

Both are sci-fi slice of life shows about teenagers, centered on interpersonal relationships and difficulties. Expect character-driven dramas with love triangles. DitFxx has a larger romance and action component to it than Kiznaiver. However, both have similar mysterious atmospheres and theming (i.e. mysterious overseer in control of children/lab experiments). If you enjoy one of these anime, you most certainly would enjoy the other.

If you liked Little Witch Academia (TV) add

...then you might like Mary to Majo no Hana add

Both anime revolve around young girls with magic powers that visit a witch school. The character interactions and overall tone of the stories feel similar and both are very heartwarming. Both remind me of a shoujo version of Harry Potter. If you were wondering what it would be like if Mary enrolled at and stayed in the witching academy, you will love Little Witch Academia.

If you liked Shingeki no Kyojin add

...then you might like Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau add

Children of the Whales strikes me as a shoujo version of Attack on Titan. Both shows incorporate apocalyptic world-building and humans defending themselves from wars from the outside world. They are both darker shows. Both shows are action-packed, but Attack on Titan has overall better action sequences and adds more emphasis on them. If you like shounen action anime, AoT is your better bet. Children of the Whales focuses on importance of emotions and has an overall more "shoujo" feel to it. The cast is primarily beautiful bishounen. If you're more keen on shoujo-style shows, CotW is your better bet.

If you liked Citrus add

...then you might like Netsuzou TRap add

Both are messy girl-girl romances and have a similar trashy soap opera feel to them (in a good way). If you like one, you'll probably like the other.

If you liked Sennen Joyuu add

...then you might like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu add

Both are surreal historical dramas that follow an entertainer through their life through the lens of the main characters' memories. They both give off a similar dreamy and tragic vibe. In both, the characters are imperfect and interesting. They are both beautiful pieces of art. I feel that if you enjoy Millennium Actress, you'll enjoy Rakugo and vice versa.

If you liked Kuragehime add

...then you might like Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! add

Both shows center around painfully awkward girls and their experiences. If you enjoyed Watamote because of relating to Tomoko, you'll love Kuragehime, which is pretty much a more grown up shoujo version of Watamote.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like 3-gatsu no Lion add

Both are slice of life shows about boys dealing with isolation and depression who learn to open up, depend on others, and be happy. Both are very touching with beautiful character development. Rei and Natsume are similar character archetypes, and if you enjoy either show for the main character, you'll definitely like the other show.

If you liked Koe no Katachi add

...then you might like 3-gatsu no Lion add

Both are heartfelt dramas that deal with depression, isolation, and the human condition. They both teeter between heavy and uplifting atmospheres and give off a similar vibe. Season 2 of 3-gatsu also touches upon bullying in a similarly beautiful manner as A Silent Voice does. If you liked A Silent Voice, you'll probably enjoy 3-gatsu and vice versa.

If you liked Sakamichi no Apollon add

...then you might like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu add

Both stories have similar character archetypes, are packed with drama, and take place in a historical setting. The main character of both series are pretty gloomy and serious and have an outgoing troublemaker as their foil. The stories are vastly different, as Sakamichi follows high schoolers in a slice of life setting and Rakugo follows a clearly defined story of a man over the course of his life. However, the characters and overall feel of the series are similar. If you enjoyed one, you'll probably enjoy the other.

If you liked Ore Monogatari!! add

...then you might like Tsuki ga Kirei add

Both are saccharine early teen romances dealing with a first love. The overall tone and vibe of the shows are similar.
