If you liked Seto no Hanayome add

...then you might like Binbougami ga! add

Both series employ a similar type of humor that is a mix of parody and over-exaggeration of character personalities. This goes in line with the fact that Both series employ a very dynamic and well-defined set of characters. Seto no Hanayome has a slight focus on harem jokes and romantic comedy parody. Binbougami is more focused on the struggling personality of the main character. Fans of the comedy style presented in Seto no Hanayome will definitely enjoy Binbougami and vice versa.

If you liked Angel Heart add

...then you might like Seigi Keikan Monju add

Both series are divided into mini-arcs that consists of helping side characters in solving their life problems. In both cases, these problems are often related to crimes or the underworld. A mix of serious business and comedy permeates the arcs of both series. Even though in Monju the characters are part of the police force as opposed to the vigilante characters of Angel Heart, the unrivaled strengths of the characters from both series are portrayed in similar fashion (often in a comedic and exaggerated fashion). Nevertheless, please note that Monju has some element of science-fiction with the main character being a nuclear-powered robot.

If you liked Kirarin☆Revolution add

...then you might like AKB0048 add

Even though the two series are of completely different genres, both series are uniquely focused on characters aiming to become idols. In addition, both series do tend to exaggerate greatly. Whereas AKB0048 is set in a pseudo-futuristic setting, Kirarin is set in a more realistic settings. Kirarin is first of all aimed towards a younger shoujo demographic and more children-friendly. The setting and plot are more comedy oriented. However, the songs are definitely not as professional as the ones performed by AKB48. On the other hand, AKB0048 is aimed towards the AKB48 fans and general otaku culture. The soundtrack of AKB0048 is based on past AKB48 songs and the animation quality is much more modern. Overall, both series are only suggested to people interested in idol characters. Personally, neither of the series can be considered very good. People who really want to see interesting plot should watch/read Skip Beat and many other great series.

If you liked Aria the Animation add

...then you might like Ikoku Meiro no Croisée The Animation add

Very mundane slice of life series. If you are looking for relaxing and soothing atmosphere with genuinely innocent characters, these are the series for you. Heartwarming storytelling and scenic premise are both strong points of the series. Whether in Aqua or Paris, the daily discoveries of the characters and the magical relationships that they build are key to making these type of series enjoyable. Perfect after a long day of work and before sleep.

The ethics of cybernetics and the boundaries of the human mind are themes that are explored in both franchises. Corporate or governmental conspiracies related to the usage of futuristic technologies are a major themes in both series. Cyberbrains (GitS) or data chip implants (Quantum), if you like a good mix of SF with action, you'll enjoy both series.

The story is written by the same author and employ the same use of disturbing gore sceneries bordering on guro. If you are looking for a slightly deranged supernatural seinen series, look here.

If you liked Black Jack ni Yoroshiku add

...then you might like Dr. Kotou Shinryoujo add

Both are medical manga dealing with doctors as main characters. Whereas Dr. Koto is more light-hearted and irrealistic (a doctor that can perform miracles), Say hello to Black Jack is of completely different vibe (the doctors are powerless and the medical world is corrupted by competition, money and apathy).

If you liked Zombie-Loan add

Once again, like the prequel, both series deal with undead making a contract to kill undead in exchange for something precious (in Shikabane Hime, the door to Heaven; in Zombie Loan, the life they lost)

If you liked Aria the Animation add

...then you might like Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou add

The same peaceful sensation will invade you as you watch these two series. While missing a plot, each episodic story is touching, original and has an unique sense of humor attached to it. While Aria deals with the link between Neo-Venecia and its citizens. tourists and Undine, Natsume definitely present a similar relationship between Natsume, the ayakashi and the humans....

The importance of political events in both series made them very similar in theme. Both deals with individuals that are trying to change the society they are living in. And of course, in terms of "epicness" both Gundam 00 and LoGH are certainly not lacking. With every single episode taking your breath away, both are must-watch for hardcore SF lovers...

If you liked Kara no Kyoukai Movie 1: Fukan Fuukei add

...then you might like Mouryou no Hako add

Both have stunning animation and an unique, mysterious and dark atmosphere. Both are based on Japanese novels that have gained a certain popularity and both deals with murders, suicides and seemingly paranormal cases. While Kara no Kyoukai deal openly with supernatural events, it does keep a realistic and mysterious component to it. On the other hand, Mouryou no Hako is more mystery oriented, dealing a series of very bizarre, mindtwisting, disturbing serial murders...

...then you might like Casshern Sins add

Both are science fiction series about a journey... Kino no Tabi is about a journey through human nature and society. Casshern Sins is a journey to the end of the world, through isolation, death, despair and hope. Both are great introspective series that will challenge your view on the world.

If you liked Karas add

...then you might like Ga-Rei: Zero add

Both involves hunting supernatural beings in an ultramodern city. Both GA-rei and Karas has outstanding animation. If you enjoy non-stop gun and blade-wielding action, you will probably like the two series. Warning that both series have a rather twisted plot that is hard to grasp at first.

If you liked Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex add

...then you might like Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo add

I will not go as far as to say Ryoko's Case file was on the same level as GITS, but it definitely had the same "Japanese politics" feeling when you watch it. On top of that, both are action-packed conspiracy series, with Case file tending more towards supernatural and pulp SF whereas GITS is pure hardcore cyberpunk SF (that even inspired the Wachowski Brothers into making the Matrix)

If you liked Gantz add

...then you might like Kurozuka add

In terms of violence and gore, Kurozuka seems to less exaggerated than Gantz. Although you are guaranteed to see guts flying in both cases. In terms of the narration, both story present a very unique and experimental style. Gantz having to constantly changing the characters while Kurozuka constantly time jumps (2 first volumes already cover a few thousand years). Both have this mysterious supernatural plotline well hidden along the action.

If you liked Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo add

...then you might like Nijuu Mensou no Musume add

Not only both anime deal with some form of supernatural cases, they also share the same overall "mood" and even artstyle. Ryouko's Case File is set in the modern times while Nijuu Mensou is set in the fifties. If you like the pulp detective genre, you'll definitely find Ryouko's Case File and Nijuu Mesou no Musume refreshing. Although I must say that Ryouko's cases are reminiscent of X-Files...

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Nijuu Mensou no Musume add

Baccano is set in the earlier 20th century while Nijuu Mensou is around the mid-20th century. Both involves gangs, thieves, criminals and clans. Although the plot differs, they are very similar in terms of setting at least.

Both are science-fiction, military-related anime although Toshokan Sensou doesn't have mechas. The main male characters give the same feelings but are quite different. Toshokan Sensou deals with book protection task force while FMP is oriented at resolving world terrorism and conflict. But both are military organization that works for an ideal, justice and freedom.
