If you liked Pandora Hearts add

...then you might like Bloody†Mary add

While the premise is entirely different, there are key similarities that make me think if one likes PH then they'd enjoy Bloody Mary: - both have a characters with memory loss and they slowly recover their memories - both explore the dynamic and unconditional love between two siblings in a very moving way - both have a relationship that starts with a nontypical contract but slowly evolves into something deep and genuine - similar storytelling; the story has been clearly decided from the start and you slowly unravel past events - both have a victorian-like aesthetic, even though Bloody Mary is set in modern day - breathtaking art

If you liked Black Lagoon add

...then you might like Great Pretender add

-Both feature a japanese main character that happens to get thrown in a group of 'criminals'. In Black Lagoon it's a group of mercenaries, while in Great Pretender it's a group of con artists. -There are interesting backstories for the members of the group. -Black Lagoon is more of a thriller with mature themes but both series show the darker sides of humanity. -There's a very distinct western vibe in both shows. - We get to see the risky heists and missions of the groups.

...then you might like Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited add

Both of these have a main duo with contrasting personalities, resulting in a fun dynamic. There are jazzy themes, with a western aesthetic. Both require suspension of disbelief but in a really fun way that only adds to your enjoyment; Great Pretender with the con artist skills and Fugou Keiji with Daisuke's expensive gadgets.

If you liked Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

...then you might like Kami no Tou add

There are many similarities between Tower of God and specifically the Hunter Exam arc of HxH: - MC is seemingly innocent, pure-hearted and cheerful - MC meets a few friends while trying to complete the challenges of the tower/ exam and they have to cooperate in order to complete them - the floors in ToG and the exams in HxH require quick-thinking, seeing through traps and fighting others smartly. Only a few among the examiners manage to pass on to the next stage - Gon's quest is to find his dad while Bam's is to find Rachel Bonus: in ToG the idea of the challengers having to go up so many floors, while fighting their way through them is kind of like the Heavens' Arena building in HxH in a broad sense.

If you liked Noragami add

...then you might like Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun add

- mischievous and funny MC who is a supernatural entity (Yato is a god/ Hanako is a ghost) - girl MC who is 'bound' to the male character in some way - similar type of humor - romantic undertones in the relationship between the boy and the girl, with a slow development - great combination of comedy and dramatic/emotional moments

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Hinamatsuri (TV) add

-Both of them have the same type of hilarious comedy. Each character has special traits and make you laugh because of their personal circumstances. - Both have emotional scenes and feels that hit you when you least expect it - Gintoki is taking care of Kagura and Shinpachi while he's not exactly the typical parental figure so hilarity ensues. In Hinamatsuri, Nitta is bringing up Hina and he is pretty similar to Gintoki in terms of personality.

If you liked Berserk add

...then you might like Devilman add

Both deal with the issues of friendship, betrayal, tragedy and more importantly, humanity and violence. Miura is a self-proclaimed Go Nagai fan and admits to being influenced by his work. As far as the characters are concerned, there's a passionate and violent main character, Akira/Amon and Guts. These main characters have a tragic backstory. There's a game changer regarding the central friendship of Griffith/Guts and Akira/Ryo. There are obvious homoerotic undertones, mainly concentrated on one character. One can argue that Miura has been influenced specifically by Ryo's character, One Summer Day, and the main plot twist of Devilman in creating the Eclipse. Lastly you can spot mythological and biblical allusions in both works.

If you liked Berserk add

...then you might like Shin Angyo Onshi add

Both stories feature a main character who is cursed and his sole purpose is seeking revenge from a demon that stole everything from him. Both demons are figures that betrayed them since they used to be on good terms in the past. We get to see a lengthy flashback to their past in addition to their current adventures. Both are seinen manga heavy on tragedy and action, with a very similar atmosphere. If you like Berserk, you are bound to like SAO. And without spoiling anything, I think that SAO's fantastic's ending would be quite fitting for Berserk as well, if we're lucky enough to see it.

If you liked Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun add

...then you might like Tsurezure Children add

Both shows are refreshing romantic comedies, with more emphasis on comedy rather than the romance. The audience gets to see a large, likeable cast of characters along with their daily lives and relationships. Similar type of humor.

If you liked Ao Haru Ride add

...then you might like Orange add

Both shows deal with the issues of friendship, depression, self-isolation and grief. To be more specific, both stories feature a main male character who has a very sorrowful past. Their friends are trying to be helpful and supportive. The female MC is in both cases the love interest. The difference is that Ao Haru Ride is more focused on the romantic aspect while Orange gives more weight to the healing process, and as such it's more dramatic. Both are totally awesome.

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

...then you might like Versailles no Bara add

While Berserk is a fantasy anime and Rose of Versailles is more focused on romance, both have to do with political intrigue, nobility's schemes, betrayals and kingdoms in crisis. Miura, the author of Berserk has stated that Rose of Versailles has been one of the many inspirations behind his writing.

If you liked White Album 2 add

...then you might like Koi to Uso add

- love triangle between three friends - heartbreak, unrequited feelings or resignation - many kissing scenes - melodrama and lots of crying - the boy's POV is the main one at least in the beginning - pretty art
