If you liked Initial D First Stage add

...then you might like Girls & Panzer add

They're both mecha anime, 'nuff said. Joke joke, that was a joke (or was it??) Huge fan of Initial D, the dated style, stilted jargon dumps, and exuberant soundtrack chips away at my cynicism one verse at a time. While GaruPan doesn't have the sick eurobeat, it's chock full of bait for tank nerds, lapses in realism, and unapologetic cheese.

If you liked Ping Pong the Animation add

...then you might like Megalo Box add

I consider Megalo Box to be a"quote sports unquote" anime, the premise and setting does involve boxing, but the sport is hardly the focus of the show. Yes the art has it's charm, and the action is pretty solid, but it's really about the drama, and the 1v1 battle format is really stinkin' good for simple cathartic drama. I think Ping Pong The Animation recognizes this and absolutely runs with it, it is a less fantastical world, and the art might be a bit too, lets say, "distinctive" for some people. But the direction is laser focused, and it feels like everyone involved was giving it their all. Even the dub is great, check this anime out for Haruhi's sake.

If you liked Toaru Majutsu no Index add

...then you might like Durarara!! add

Both shows feature or include the following: A large cast of interesting and varied characters. Excellent openings, endings, and backing tracks. Mystery and intrigue balanced with action and humor. Over 60 episodes. Vending machine violence. The shows certainly are not identical, but they share similar vibe, scope, and appearance. If you liked one of these anime it should be worth taking a look at the other.
