If you liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

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

If Steins Gate and Higurashi had a child, it would be Boku dake. Boku dake has the same dark vibes as Higurashi. The aim of both is to stop a tragedy by gaining new knowledge with each iteration of events that have happened.

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Jormungand add

The atmosphere and themes of these 2 shows are very similar. If you are looking for an anime to fill the void left behind after binge watching Jormungand, Black Lagoon is your answer. For me, the most enjoyable aspect of Jormungand is its action. A bunch of highly competent mercenaries executing their missions by way of their sheer combat ability. In Black Lagoon you will find similar action, but I feel Jormungand has the better combat scenes because it is more tactical and show cases a greater variety of combat roles. Another plus point for Black Lagoon is that if you liked the competent, badass female characters in Jormungand, there is no shortage of them in Black Lagoon. Overall, both shows deal with the issues of "war" and combat; what it is like to live a life of strife, what life is like for those who kill for a living and the cross they all have to bear as a consequence. In short, they are both dark, cynical shows dealing with the violence in human societies. Finally, if you are a person who values closure; note that unlike Jormungand, Black Lagoon is not a completed story. Still, I highly recommend you give Black Lagoon a shot if you love Jormungand's action and characters

If you liked Jigoku Shoujo add

...then you might like Death Parade add

In terms of the overall theme and atmosphere, these 2 shows are very similar. Both have a "monster of the week" format, character vs character motivation stories. However, Jigoku Shoujo is more straightforward and action packed, focusing on the "stories" between the characters of the week, which are centered around revenge. Death Parade on the other hand is much more ambiguous and philosophical, usually it is not so much about the guest characters but the themes they represent.

If you liked Claymore add

...then you might like Shingeki no Kyojin add

It has the same premise of a group of organised warriors fighting against some overwhelming monstrosity. The setting (medieval Europe) is also the same. Like Shingeki, Claymore is also a serious, action oriented, fighting anime. Both have the same level of violence. However, we get a sense that there is a greater story/conspiracy underneath Shingeki. But at least for the Claymore anime, (due to constraints) what you see is what you get and the story is relatively simpler.
