If you liked Ookami to Koushinryou add

...then you might like Katanagatari add

The dialogues structure-script feel similar, as exposing facts or historical events. These are long and become tedious after a while, but there is always a catch phrase, a distintive action or a particular event in or related to the dialogue that keeps the viewer enjoying the conversation while it lasts.

If you liked Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

...then you might like InuYasha add

The usual high school girl gets "teleported" to another world. There she falls in love with a boy, who is not exactly human. There are fights like every single episode and both girls carry a pendant (same color I think). Lastly, both girls play an important role (if not the main role) in the plot (shoujo anime).

If you liked Canaan add

...then you might like Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom add

The both give me the same feeling when watching them. Same Assassins with "inhuman" abilities concept. Also the animation is very simillar.

If you liked Shakugan no Shana add

...then you might like Kurokami The Animation add

Very similar. At first I thought it was done by the same studio, but I was wrong. Now a "ordinary" guy meets a girl with supernatural powers. In Shakugan this "ordinary" human, Yuuji, is the compartment of the Reiji Maigo, in Kurokami it is yet unknown what role does Ibuki Keita plays, but he "isn't a ordinary human" like Excel says on episode 4. The girl with supernatural powers is forced to stay near the human boy. In Shakugan because Shana has to keep a eye on the Reiji Maigo and in Kurokami because if Kuro doesn't stay close to Keita her fighting abililies decay due to the contract they made. Lastly the "world balance"concept is the main similarity present in both animes, in different yet similar ways. In Shakugan people gets eaten by Guze no Tomogaras and has to be replaced with "torches" for sake of balance. In Kurokami a person's soul divided in 3 parts, each one containing a porcentage of luck (50%, 30%, 20%) to maintain a balance in the world. Yet people try to consume their other part to have as maximium luck as possible. A "Flames Haze" maintains that balance in Shakugan no Shana and a "Mototsumitama"does sort of the same in Kurokami.

If you liked Claymore add

...then you might like Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi add

Both are gory and bloody. Mnemosyne probably is more bloody and has as well some elements that Claymore doesn't, like the often use of tortures and very strong sexual themes and lastly the continous nudity. Now the main simlarity lays in the female-main characters aspect. In Claymore only females can manage to supress their inside Yoki (spiritual energy) in order to stop their transformation into a Yoma (demon) while the males, wich have a more strong sexual instict, can't do it correctly and, at some point, end up becoming "awakened beings". In Mnemosyne only females can become immortal by consumimng the fruit from the Yggdrasil (life tree) while men transform in "angels" (some sort of monsters) and are forced to reproduce with the immortal females and then kill them, also they have a short life spam. So you can find that woman-perfection and male-imperfect instintctive animal judgement in both of this animes.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Kurozuka add

LOL!!! how come nobody has made this recommendation. Both are the blodiest animes I've ever seen. And the fight just doesn't stop. The blood goes on and on (Elfen Lied have some "sentimental" episodes as for Kurozuka) but god since the first episode of both of them I couldn't think about other thing than the gore and all the bloody stuff that happens since the first sequence of each of this masterpieces.
