If you liked School Rumble add

...then you might like I My Me! Strawberry Eggs add

High school themed cast with good exploration of full supporting characters and their lives, revolving around friendship, adolescent struggles, and a lot of humor. Both have a lot of slapstick moments as well.

If you liked Net-juu no Susume add

...then you might like Eoneu Nal Jameseo Kkaeeoboni Bagelyeoga Doeeo Isseotda add

Gender swapping identities where the main character is a female neet or gamer girl. Equally entertaining and characters also look a bit alike.

If you liked Watashi ga Motete Dousunda add

...then you might like Net-juu no Susume add

Main characters are girls with very niche/nerdy hobbies, and can appear to be a slob in the best way possible! Both have similar, warm and wholesome feels to the series.

If you liked Shinsekai yori add

...then you might like Yakusoku no Neverland add

Children are raised in a mysterious, controlled environment, where adults conspire against them and ultimately sacrifice them 'for the greater good' of their warped, dystopian society. They have different settings (Shinsekai being more fantasy based), but have similar characters, plot, and dynamics.

If you liked Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi add

...then you might like Meng Qi Shi Shen add

Both stories are about cooking delicious food for people in a different, still developing world. Their main characters are also very alike in personality and appearance. I would say Kakuriyo is the Japanese cooking version, and Meng Qi is the Chinese cooking version.

If you liked Meng Qi Shi Shen add

...then you might like Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi add

Main characters who get reincarnated in another world and bring their cooking expertise - and ingredients - with them where possible! Meng Qi Shi Shen is more about romance and an independent woman, whereas Campfire cooking has 3 main characters travelling together.

If you liked Isekai Shokudou add

...then you might like Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi add

Cooking Japanese food for fantasy world audiences. One is in a restaurant setting, the other is a portable camping setting. Campfire cooking also has more main character depth and story, versus one-off stories about diners.

If you liked Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

...then you might like Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi add

Main characters who are isekai-ed into a developing civilization bring or 'invent' everyday things that are common in Japan, resulting in success, growth and unique challenges. Tondemo skill focuses on cooking Japanese food, while Honzuki focuses on books, but the planning process and kind nature of the protagonists is similar.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou Shi add

...then you might like Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi add

Mukouda and Fel have a very similar dynamic to Natsume and Nyanko-sensei, who is also a glutton. Fel and Nyanko even look similar with the spirit/fantasy wolf appearance. They also travel alone for the most part and have many secrets that they can't share with 'normal people'. If you like supernatural themes, then watch Natsume; if you like cooking themes, then watch Campfire Cooking.

If you liked Princess Principal add

...then you might like Shadows House add

Protagonists are high school aged females in a Victorian era. Both series feature young characters working in secrecy to overcome the ruling class, no matter the cost (physical, social, emotional). Both thought provoking and mystery driven, with similar period settings.

If you liked Dance in the Vampire Bund add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Devilman seems to have a lot of influence from Dance in the Vampire bund, both dealing with humans that transform into monsters, overturning human society, and moral corruption. Their main characters are both teenage boys named Akira, and their love interests (Miki, Yuki) share many similarities. Dance in the Vampire bund was fantasically written, had better cinematography and is a visual masterpiece, whereas Devilman was an imitation version of their script combined with other titles. Highly recommend watching Dance in the Vampire bund first, to make sense of Devilman's content.

If you liked 91 Days add

...then you might like Vinland Saga add

Both protagonists witness their families' unjust deaths and seek revenge (or rather, to avenge) their loved ones. Avilio is around 10 years old, and Thorfinn is even younger, 6 years old. When their formative years are so deeply traumatizing, they are consumed with nothing except carrying out revenge (lack of socialization does not help). However, 91 days is more drawn out - a cinematic masterpiece filled with metaphors and literary imagery. It has a more complex script than Vinland Saga, given that it's about the mafia. Both are fantastic and I highly recommend watching. Depending on your mood, you may want to start with Vinland Saga first if you are interested in adventure, revenge elements, and a redemptive storyline (more interesting support characters). If you enjoy psychological mysteries, historic settings, and a sombre reflection on life for a rainy day - 91 days will definitely be more up your alley, physically and metaphorically!

If you liked Dae Jang Geum: Jang Geum's Dream add

...then you might like Seirei no Moribito add

Very different stories but both have historical East Asian settings and a young/teenage protagonist who goes on a journey filled with action, personal growth, and form friendships with people who are much older than them. Seirei No Moribito is more fantasy/supernatural, while Dae Jang Geum is focused on cooking the finest Korean cuisine - but both could have been set in an overlapping universe.

If you liked Yakitate!! Japan add

...then you might like Dae Jang Geum: Jang Geum's Dream add

A female version of Yakitate! Both are teenage protagonists who have childhood dreams of cooking or baking, and pursue their careers through cooking contests. They have a balanced share of friends and enemies (or rivals) who seek to stop them, but they overcome their difficulties to bring the best food possible to the world. Equally heartwarming, although Yakitate's humor lies in slapstick humor and funny puns, while Dae Jang Geum's humor is a mixture of great wit, and deus ex machina (situational rescues). Dae Jang Geum is also more action-based, so it's easy to binge watch for the plot, whereas Yakitate's story is dragged out and has a lot of filler.

If you liked Gakuen Babysitters add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

Very different genres and stories, BUT the children in Gakuen Babysitters are very similar to Anya in that they are self aware, highly perceptive of adult behaviour, and there's heavy themes of family - all kinds! Both animes are very encouraging and accepting towards unusual childcare situations, so they're heartwarming and funny. Offering this recommendation specifically for people who love kids.

If you liked Hinamatsuri add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

Bad ass single dad scenario with an adoptive daughter, lots of comedy. Hinamatsuri has more slapstick and situational humor, so it feels lighter to watch - while Spy x Family challenges what it means to be an actual family. Hina is also more nonchalant and laid back about life, whereas Anya has the spirit, brilliance, and determination of an adult trapped in a child's body.

If you liked Usagi Drop add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

Single man with an adopted daughter scenario, with similar scenarios and learnings about childcare. Usagi Drop is slice of life though, whereas Spy x Family is more like a superhero family working undercover.

If you liked Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

Spy x Family is like if Daisuke and Suzue had a kid, and this series was about their family life. There's so many similiarities between Daisuke and Loid, Suzue and Yor, and the art style is also similar, though Spy x Family takes on a more casual, less "buttoned up" look. Their relationship dynamic is also much more natural than Daisuke's and Suzue's (order, professional based).

If you liked Owari no Seraph add

...then you might like Vampire in the Garden add

Deals with the question 'can vampires and humans co-exist?' in their own universes. As another reviewer mentioned, there's strong military and apocalyptic themes in both animes. Both are centered on "human-vampire" exploratory relationships that blur the lines between 'just friends,' and 'more than friends' bonds. Possible difference is Owari No Seraph is overall lighter in tone, and does not have an unhappy ending.

If you liked Shiki add

...then you might like Owari no Seraph add

Humans vs. Vampires, but Owari no Seraph is much better for multiple reasons - characters are well developed, faster pacing, and there's actually equal tension on both sides of said battle. Shiki lacks many of these things. Shiki's plot is murky in comparison, and it's watching a 'losing battle' on a rural countryside hill. Despite that, people who liked Shiki will probably also enjoy Owari No Seraph for similar themes.

If you liked Kara no Kyoukai Movie 3: Tsuukaku Zanryuu add

...then you might like Satsuriku no Tenshi add

Both animes deal with death, suicide themes, and more importantly, if violence is ever justifiable. Equally dark content or 'lingering' darkness after you watch it, though Satsuriku no Tenshi has more energetic characters, while Kara no Kyoukai has more reserved, mature, characters.

If you liked Kamisama no Memochou add

...then you might like Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru add

Female leads have very similar personalities, both solving cases either as detective or forensic and psuedo detective. They also both have high school boys as assistants, however, I liked Kamisama much more. The cast of Kamisama is well rounded, characters with more depth than Sakurako's, and the ending leaves you feeling quite satisfied - no loose ends or plot holes.
