...then you might like Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru add

Both shows feature an old-fashioned Japanese setting combined with sci-fi technology. They're also both hero shows, featuring main characters that transform, as well as villains that have a silly/cartoony sense of humor. One focuses on a team of cats while the other focuses on Wataru & his friends, but I still get a similar feeling from both of these shows when I watch them.

If you liked Dr. Slump: Arale-chan add

...then you might like Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru add

Both series have a similar sense of humor, especially how the villains in both series are goofy and hard to take seriously. Both shows also have sci-fi technology despite being set in an old-fashioned town. Wataru is a bit more focused on Action and Adventure while Dr. Slump is more focused on comedy, but both series give off a very similar tone to me.

...then you might like Kakutou Bijin Wulong add

Both anime feature a female martial arts expert being trained by their grandpa, both of whom are short in stature, and a little bit perverted. The main character in each show is also reluctantly entered into martial arts tournaments by said grandpa. Both series also feature a reporter for a sports tabloid which wants to get a scoop on the main character. The art style and tone of each show are slightly different, but I feel like it's impossible to ignore the otherwise large similarities between the two.

If you liked Dominion add

...then you might like Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor add

Both shows deal with a young, female new recruit joining a special police force that has just been militarized with some new technology. In one show it's tanks, in the other, it's a mech suit. However, both shows focus around the utilization of this new technology for fighting crime. Character design and animation styles are also pretty similar.

If you liked Great Teacher Onizuka add

...then you might like Kochira Katsushikaku Kameari Kouenmae Hashutsujo add

While one is a teacher and one is a police officer, the protagonists in both of these series are roughnecks who are childish, fun-spirited, greedy, and a bit perverted... each show focuses on these characters getting involved in fun high-jinks in modern day Japan. If you like the antics in one show, you're bound to like the antics in the other.

If you liked Red add

...then you might like Golden Kamuy add

Both series take the reader on an adventure in an outdoors setting in a historical era, and feature tribal people along with scenes of violence and gore. Both series also offer comic relief in the form of cooking scenes.

If you liked Blaster Knuckle add

...then you might like Red add

While one series stars a native American, and the other stars a black man. Both series are stories about the main character fighting in the name of their people and getting revenge against racist white men in a wild west setting. The style of the action scenes are very similar between the two, as well, and feature lots of blood and gore.

If you liked Lupin III: Part II add

...then you might like Space Cobra add

While the setting and plot are different between the two series... Both series are quite similar in tone. The characters feel like they're written very similarly. Both Lupin and Cobra share many personality traits, and the antagonists in both series feel like they're written similarly as well. The art is pretty similar, too, with both series featuring detailed hand-painted CELs, and lots of expressive motion lines during fast-paced chase scenes. Even the soundtrack for both series are reminiscent of each other, featuring a lot of the same 70s disco undertones, and similar sounding stings and audio cues. If you like one, I would find it hard to believe that you wouldn't like the other.

If you liked Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou add

...then you might like Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san add

Both shows have similar art, and similar quick-format storytelling. The setting and story are both completely different, but the tone of the characters and how they're written feels very similar between the two shows. I feel like if you enjoy one, you'll most likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Kyattou Ninden Teyandee add

...then you might like Akai Koudan Zillion add

Both shows center around a group of three individuals (two male, one female) who are members of a secret, powerful team that go up against an underground organization that aims to take over. The three members in both shows also wear color-coded outfits to make them stand out from one another, and both teams use legendary weapons against their foes. One of the members of each team is also a hot-headed guy who often says "teyandee!" The shows differ in that one is a comedy featuring anthropomorphic robot cats, and the other is more action-oriented and features humans, but there's too many similarities here to ignore.

If you liked Mirai Shounen Conan add

...then you might like Fushigi no Umi no Nadia add

Both series are adventure tales that take place primarily on the sea, travelling to different islands. They also feature a similar lead cast, with a scrappy excitable young boy, and the pensive female lead that accompanies them. There's even ship captains in both shows that aid the lead roles. There are some minor differences, but the one major difference I can see would be the animation styles... which, in both shows, are contemporary of the era they were made in.

If you liked Neko no Ongaeshi add

...then you might like Ultra Nyan: Hoshizora kara Maiorita Fushigi Neko add

Both feature talking cats with special powers that have unique interactions with a human girl.

If you liked Naruto add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

Both shows focus on younger kids that have various abilities, who battle each other and go to a school to train these abilities. The style of the characterization is pretty similar along with the structure of the story. The art is somewhat different, but both are bright and colorful and evoke a similarly exciting feeling from the viewer.

If you liked Yowamushi Pedal add

...then you might like Boku no Hero Academia add

While one is about superheroes, and one is about cycling, both of them focus on similar characters that aim to improve themselves and get better at their respective talents. The progression of the story, and the style of animation in each series are also similar.

If you liked Hyper-Psychic Geo Garaga add

...then you might like Al Caral no Isan add

Both of these single-episode OVAs have similar themes, and similar artstyles. The setting is different, but the tone each of these series gives off is pretty similar, with the main conflict focusing on the persecution of an alien race. The characters, while feeling somewhat different, also have similar motivations in each show.

If you liked Hyper-Psychic Geo Garaga add

...then you might like Hoshi Neko Fullhouse add

Both are sci-fi adventure tales that have a similar artstyle. The story in each anime deal with a conflict between a space species and humans. The characters are also pretty similar in both design and their personalities, and there's even a tiny robot buddy in each that is used for comic relief.

If you liked Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt add

...then you might like Osomatsu-san add

Both have stylish cartoony art styles with animation that gets wild & outlandish. The style of humor is very similar as well, going to extremes for the sake of a joke, without any restrictions. Both shows are completely no-holds-barred comedies that go completely off the rails.

If you liked Nekojiru-sou add

...then you might like Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru add

Both are about anthropomorphic cats going on pointless journeys through surreal locations.

If you liked Trigun add

...then you might like Tenkuu no Escaflowne add

The style of the visual directing and the soundtrack in both shows seems fairly similar, which gives the serious moments in both shows a fairly similar atmosphere. However, Trigun focuses more on comedic moments early on while Escaflowne is more consistently serious. However, both shows share similar design sensibilities for the characters, and the villains are written pretty similarly. The sci-fi elements also share similar designs, having a fairly organic and pulsating feel to them in both shows. The story and setting are different in each show, but they're similar in that they incorporate sci-fi elements into a setting which is typically devoid of sci-fi.

If you liked Mirai Shounen Conan add

...then you might like Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa add

Both are about a boy & a girl trying to make their way to a mythical land, and going up against opposing political/governmental forces that get in their way. The leading girls in both also have something the governmental forces want to obtain to use for malicious purposes, and they chase them down and attempt to capture the girls in both because of this. Both of them feature airships, and have battles that take place in the sky. The art style is also very similar in each, which isn't surprising, considering they share the same director.

If you liked Ranma ½ add

...then you might like Stop!! Hibari-kun! add

Both shows have a similar premise and a similar type of comedy. Visual style is pretty similar between the two and many of the characters have similar personalities as well. There's also a gender bending concept shared between the two.

If you liked Tokusou Senshatai Dominion add

...then you might like Taiho Shichau zo add

Aside from both being police shows, they also both have a similar animation style, as well as a similar comedic style. Even though one is set in the present-day and one in the future, the city has a similar visual aesthetic in both of them. The main difference is that one uses tanks, and one uses patrol cars, but there's also some similarities here, with one of the main characters in each show being the gear-head who's always tuning up their vehicle. Many of the supporting cast members also seem to have pretty similar personalities between the two shows.

If you liked Steins;Gate add

...then you might like Atom: The Beginning add

Both series focus on a group of friends in a laboratory, while one is focused on robotics and the other is focused on time travel, both series have similar types of eccentric characters... The mad scientist who's actually more of a goofball, his friend who is even more of a goofball, the quiet girl who hangs around the lab, etc. Steins;Gate's story ends up getting darker at a certain point, while Atom's remains generally lighthearted, but the similarities in terms of characters, presentation, and setting are fairly similar.

If you liked Beck add

...then you might like Sakamichi no Apollon add

Both series focus on teenage kids learning how to play music and having fun doing so. Despite one being focused on rock, and the other on Jazz, with one taking place in modern-day Japan, and one taking place in 1960s Japan, they still both have a very similar tone to their presentation, as well as similarities between the characters and their experiences in learning music.

If you liked The Animatrix add

...then you might like Batman: Gotham Knight add

Both are a collection of short stories that take place within a franchise of American origin, with stories that are written & directed by Japanese creators. They were also both released in-between the first and second films in a trilogy. I also feel like the art and presentation in both of them have a similarly dark, pulpy tone.

If you liked Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku add

...then you might like Mirai Shounen Conan add

Both shows take place in a futuristic apocalyptic wasteland where humans have recently started to attempt to rebuild society. The art style is somewhat similar between the shows, but "Now and Then, Here and There" has a bit more of an orange and yellow hue to it, while Mirai Shounen Conan focuses on lots of greens and blues. In both shows, the main character is a boy who is attempting to save a girl from being used by authoritative government powers against her will. There is a theme in both shows of the main characters attracting evil forces wherever they go, and there are very similar moments in both shows in this vein.

If you liked Meitantei Conan add

...then you might like Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

Both shows involve an adult who is trapped in a kid's body, searching for a criminal/murderer while still attempting to lead a normal life. The major difference is that BokuMachi involves time travel while Conan does not.

If you liked Memories add

...then you might like Roujin Z add

Roujin Z is similar to Memories' second short, "Stink Bomb". Both focus around a government program gone wrong, and focuses on something that was designed to be medically helpful being turned around and used for military purposes. They also both have a similar art style, similar character design, and have a similar type of humor.

If you liked Golden Boy add

...then you might like Junk Boy add

Both consist of perverted main leads who work in an office and get themselves into trouble with ladies. The animation styles are also similar, though I think Golden boy has an upper hand in both animation quality and humor.

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Gangsta. add

Both shows have a serious tone to them, with action that manages to be flashy and over-the-top without letting itself become too unrealistic. They also both focus on mercenary organizations that operate outside the law but still manage to have a tentatively good relationship with law enforcement. The main characters of each show manage to feel somewhat different, although they have a similar level of ideals and morality (or lack thereof) when it comes to the work they do.
