If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni add

As both series are remembered for their gore aspects, I definitely recommend watching Higurashi. It takes the gore scenes, but adds more suspense, a story that will boggle your mind until the second season, and both shows are just excellent watches. If you're into gore and suspense, I highly recommend Higurashi

If you liked Clannad add

...then you might like Little Busters! add

Little Busters follows a similar layout to how Clannad's story unfolds. They both follow a boy in high school and the main character develops relationships with many different people, specifically girls. Throughout each show, the girls eventually open up to our main character, and show their tragic backstories, or similar events that are troubling them in the present time. Our main character uses his friendship with others to help bring the troubled friend into a new perspective of life, helping them to be freed from their despair. Since both animes are based off the visual novels created by Key, you can expect similar dramatic events that tear at your emotions, yet both have enough comedy to balance out the tragic events. Both shows are tied for my favorite romance/drama series, and its to be expected as Key has a great way of creating characters that are pretty much impossible to hate. Definitely give both a watch, and you will see what kind of similarities both shows share.
