If you liked GetBackers add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs add

Both revolve around a pair of superpowered individuals (bromance!) who are fighting crime often perpetrated by other superpowered individuals. Rivalries, nemeses, dark tragic pasts that slowly become more revealed, epic fight scenes and unique, varied abilities. Both dip into cringey, idiotic humor, but are also rather emotional and get into serious topics and relationships. Both are somewhat episodic at first but also have an overarching plot that ties things together.

If you liked Moyashimon add

...then you might like The Girl Who Sees Smells add

Both have a character who can see micro-particles, are not fully on board with their ability at first, but grow into it with the support of friends.

If you liked Tight-rope add

...then you might like Jie Yao add

Both are about the friendship between a gang leader and a more ordinary person and involve the gangster protecting his friend who gets dragged into the trouble of a more violent world. The "ordinary" person in both are actually formidable and manly (no wimpy ukes here). The relationships are cute and feel good with some good fights thrown in.

If you liked Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudou-bu add

...then you might like Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru add

Both shows have a main character who is melancholy and withdrawn at first, due to stepping back from competition in the sport they love. Both shows focus on the camaraderie that slowly builds and can overcome past hurts. They have a more serious tone than many sports anime and both have some philosophical and artistic musings over the beauty of the sport they practice.

If you liked Free! add

...then you might like Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudou-bu add

Both shows have a main character who has left the sport due to past hurts and slowly makes their way back through friendship and love of the sport. Very strong focus on relationships, with a bit of a melancholy undertone at times, which I always find intriguing in sports shows.

If you liked Kuroko no Basket add

...then you might like Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudou-bu - Yabai add

Both have a fun focus on rivalries, with the teams meeting outside of their tournaments in a bizarre, funny situation.

If you liked Kekkaishi add

...then you might like Nurarihyon no Mago add

Both center around the young heir to a supernatural clan and their fight to control the spiritual forces around them.

If you liked Saiunkoku Monogatari add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Yona add

Both center on a noblewoman character who is charismatic and draws strong men to her. They both fight corruption in their kingdom and change over time from innocence to more shrewd women who will fight for the future of the nation.

If you liked Kuroko no Basket add

...then you might like Shokugeki no Souma add

Both have strongly competitive characters and a thrill of the contest, and the main characters use their skills to try to inspire and change the people around them.

If you liked No Game No Life add

...then you might like Quanzhi Gaoshou add

Both have very clever main characters who love the thrill of the game and attract others to them. The worlds are very different but the ambition and spirit of the characters are similar.

If you liked Ai no Kusabi (2012) add

...then you might like Banana Fish add

Both focus on male sexual abuse, powerful mobs, and the gritty underside of society. Ai no Kusabi is sci fi while Banana Fish is modern New York. Both have infuriating endings.

If you liked Blood Lad add

...then you might like K add

Pretty different in tone, K is more serious while Blood Lad is more comedic, but if you love supernatural overpowered gangs with troubled leaders, I think you'll like both.

If you liked Kuroko no Basket add

...then you might like Yowamushi Pedal add

Both have mc's that at first seem weak and are unlikely star athletes, but come into their own and win against all odds. Both characters are the heart of the team, pushing their strong teammates forward with spirit, willpower, and love of their sport. Both shows have delicious rivalries and side characters/opponents that you come to care about as much as the mc's. The athletes in both have dramatic, extremely specialized skills that seem almost like superpowers at times. The characters also have fun little quirks that make both shows comedic and endearing, not just about the sport.

If you liked Hoozuki no Reitetsu add

...then you might like Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan add

Both have cynical, deadpan hilarious, overpowered main characters. Hoozuki is supernatural, while Saiki is more sci fi, but both shows are comedies and have a similar structure of short, funny vignettes rather than an overarching plot.

If you liked Vampire Knight add

...then you might like Owari no Seraph add

Vampire Knight is a romance, while Owari no Seraph is a story of friendship, but both have a similar tone, about vampire-human conflict in a dark world. Both have a heavy, bittersweet feeling and characters with tragic pasts and split loyalties.

If you liked Kamigami no Asobi add

...then you might like Dance with Devils add

Both follow a girl who inexplicably draws hot male demons/gods to her. Reverse harem, sweet girl somehow impacts ancient (yet in appearance- young sexy male) supernatural creatures.

If you liked Yowamushi Pedal add

...then you might like Baby Steps add

Both have a protagonist who is an atypical sportsman whose talent is discovered to their surprise. Both are hard workers who always stun people through their victories, though Yowamushi Pedal is a team story and has more rivalry dynamics, whereas Baby Steps is more about one boy and his relationships which gradually develop.

If you liked GetBackers add

...then you might like K add

I think the spirit of K really lies in the competitive dynamic between the different super powered groups. The characters all are exhilarated by their rivalries and violent fights, yet a bittersweet feeling underlies it because of the consequences of their powers. GetBackers has a similar tone. It is a friendship story between two young men whose pasts have been shaped and twisted by their abilities. They encounter many obstacles, but revel in the chance to test their powers. Both shows are carried by this excitement and the emotion between characters as they battle for and against each other.

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like 91 Days add

Both are extremely violent, dark, take place in the 20s, involve crime mobs. Baccano! has an ensemble cast while 91 Days follows one young man, but they have a similar feel.

If you liked Fruits Basket add

...then you might like Kamisama Hajimemashita add

Super sweet mc who enters a supernatural world and softens the hearts of those around her. Both have hot fascinating male mc with dark pasts.
