If you liked Setoutsumi add

...then you might like Food Court de, Mata Ashita. add

Both works involve capturing the intracacies of friendship dynamics, with fairly organic moments. Both series revolve around a central location where the characters hang out with each other at the end of their days, touching base and engaging in banter.

If you liked Yuyushiki add

...then you might like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou add

Although very different in terms of content, the way the thought processes shape the conversation meanderings in Yuyushiki is similar to the way the conversation between Yuuri and Chito flows. (Based on a favorites dataset of 1.2 million users, Girls' Last Tour was the second most favorited other manga by those who favorited Yuyushiki's manga.)

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Hyouka add

Both shows have a similar cast setup. Chitanda resembles Haruhi's drive for wonder, while Oreki's narration resembles that of Kyon's. Both Oreki and Kyon require someone to bring color to their lives. Satoshi resembles Koizumi in their interactions with Oreki and Kyon respectively. Both involve searching for the mysterious, though Haruhi with the supernatural and Hyouka with the mundane. Both emphasize the value of mundanity, Hyouka to a greater extent.

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

Both series involve "god" undergoing an existential crisis with similar elements to their character arcs. Kyon is to Haruhi what Arisu (Alice) is to Lain. Their arc conclusions are diametrically opposed from one another and both involve the overcoming of escapism through human connection. Both works don't give clear answers as to what's the true nature of the world and what Haruhi or Lain actually is. Both narratives can be considered scattered, Haruhi in order to reinforce the sense of everything seeming out of place and Lain to tie to its themes of connection.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Texhnolyze add

Both series excel in terms of atmosphere. Thematically, both explore the distinction between simply living and being alive, and emphasize that nothing really changes about individuals and the world. Both have melancholic endings and moments during which the individual may be thrown into the "void." Although vastly different, they both have appeal as human stories; Bebop is more specific by emphasizing human interactions while Texhnolyze focuses upon encapsulating humanity as a whole.

If you liked Dragon Ball add

...then you might like Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

Both have an adventure charm to them. Those who like Dragon Ball may be interested in the stronger characterization and thematic moments that Hunter x Hunter has in comparison, with a simlar feel to it for some of its run-time. Those who like Hunter x Hunter may appreciate Dragon Ball as an entertainment product with a similar appeal. The protagonists are fairly similar in their tenacity and determination.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! add

Both shows involve characters who fit into archetypal roles in order to poke fun of the tropes associated with them while at the same time embracing them. The main character in both shows serves a cynical outlook with aspects of self-awareness given the scenarios they are placed into. Both shows trake pride in the mundane at times despite the fantasy (for Konosuba) or supernatural (for Haruhi) spin. Superficially, both feature a female goddess who constantly bickers with the MC.
