...then you might like Sengoku Basara Ni add

Manly villainous rulers who want to unify the warring lands by using their fists.

If you liked Lupin III (2015) add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze add

Of the many Lupin The 3rd anime that exists, Part 4 specifically focuses on the Italian setting along with historical landmarks & choice of music. This can be a companion piece to the Italian Mafia themed Golden Wind as Lupin III Part 4 also follows the viewpoint of criminals.

If you liked Cinderella Boy add

...then you might like Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna add

Rella & Fujiko are characters created by Monkey Punch. These anime offer the perspectives of a similar woman character in opposing career choices; a private detective and a thief. By watching these anime I was able to experience a unique point of view when using a "Monkey Punch lady" as the protagonist.

If you liked Cinderella Boy add

...then you might like Lupin III: Part II add

Created by Monkey Punch, Lupin The 3rd & Cinderella Boy offers the episodic adventures of thieves & private detectives while maintaining similar character designs. In my viewpoint, if you ever wanted to see a Lupin III anime with greater focus on Lupin & Fujiko then Cinderella Boy is the closest story you're going to get.

If you liked Shinzou Ningen Casshern add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Casshan & Devilman are superheroes who sacrifice their humanity to wage war against evil. These heroes fight out of love for their parents but are feared by humankind. The only people who accept them are their girlfriends; Luna & Miki.

If you liked Garo: Honoo no Kokuin add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

Both Devilman & Garo are superhero anime that have roots with dark tokusatsu; demonstrating the transformation of a hero into a demon.

If you liked Speed Grapher add

...then you might like Devilman: Crybaby add

These anime explore the faults of human nature such as lust & anguish through drug usage & other perversions which transforms the characters into powerful yet tragic monsters of mankind.

If you liked Kinnikuman II Sei add

...then you might like Tiger Mask W add

These wrestling anime were animated by Toei Animation, are sequels following the next generation of wrestlers and in my opinion share the same masculine spirit for the sport.

If you liked Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 4: Diamond wa Kudakenai add

These anime are about high school delinquents protecting their hometown from killers with paranormal abilities. In my opinion, DIU has a lot in common with YYH's Chapter Black arc due to its slice of life pacing, unpredictable nature, and the similar functions of Stands and Territories.

If you liked Souten no Ken add

...then you might like Tenkamusou: Edajima Heihachi Den add

These prequel stories feature a hero growing into a proper man and in my opinion are highly recommended to manly enthusiasts.

If you liked Riki-Oh add

...then you might like Dokuro add

These stories share the same author and includes a recurring religious theme, violent heroes and a prison setting. In my opinion, Dokuro's story isn't as impressive as Riki-Oh but it's still worth a read.

If you liked Dororo to Hyakkimaru add

...then you might like Young Black Jack add

Both series feature alternate stories to the tormented character Hyakkimaru. Despite the differences in age and animation I believe the tragic content manages to be portrayed effectively.

If you liked Devilman add

...then you might like Shin Mazinger Zero add

These are manga created by Go Nagai carrying a similar dark tone where our heroes lose their humanity to protect the world and its people. In my opinion, out of all the Mazinger Z series Shin Mazinger Zero is Devilman's equal.

If you liked Jigoku Sensei Nube add

...then you might like Ansatsu Kyoushitsu add

Episodic anime based on teachers who care for their students while being accompanied with a dark tone. While Nube has more horror elements than Assassination Classroom, I feel both Nube & Koro Sensei are very likable teachers.

If you liked Souten no Ken add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 1: Phantom Blood add

Both stories act as the origin of their family lineage; carrying an emphasis on destiny, martial arts, masculinity and tragic story telling.

If you liked Souten no Ken add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 2: Sentou Chouryuu add

Manly martial artists who are perfecting their respective fighting style. Both heroes are very brash & comical while also developing an odd friendship with a Nazi.

If you liked Souten no Ken add

...then you might like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze add

Gangster related story arcs, outrageous violence, fights featuring assassins, & a main character whose friends are criminals.

If you liked Hokuto no Ken add

...then you might like Kinnikuman add

Both series feature incredibly heroic men, manly tears and very masculine fights. While Kinnikuman is more humorous in tone, Kinnikuman's characters are just as likable as the cast of Hokuto No Ken.

If you liked Sakigake!! Otokojuku add

...then you might like Kinnikuman add

Both are old school shonen of the 1980's which originally debuted as comedies but gradually become focused on tournament battles. A flaw in both shows are characters constantly dying only to be revived in some ludicrous method. However, both shows are so outrageously manly that you will look over some low points.

If you liked Jungle no Ouja Tar-chan add

...then you might like Tatakae!! Ramenman add

These battle shonen blend martial arts and wrestling allowing for outrageous yet manly fights.

If you liked Devilman add

If you liked Kenpuu Denki Berserk add

Both authors have similar styles of classy characters, gritty action, supernatural beings, cool visuals and sometimes a hint of random humor.

If you liked Yu☆Gi☆Oh! add

...then you might like Mashounen B.T. add

Both series contain anti-heroes who utilize their intelligence in deceiving their enemies while maintaining a sadistic demeanor and a slight touch of horror. (I'm specifically referring to the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh! which had a darker tone about puzzle games.)

If you liked Jigoku Sensei Nube add

...then you might like Devilman add

Both are episodic horror classics that usually consist of demons attacking students. They can also flip between comedy and more serious moments but Devilman can be very repetitive.
