If you liked Bounen no Xamdou add

...then you might like Heroman add

420 - Big white avatars/robots, fighting together reluctantly brave heroes. Invasions, military, explosions, "alien" possession, and teenagers. Except Xam'd has the hero in complete sync with the avatar in some Steampunk reality, while Heroman has the hero working along side the avatar/robot in modern day California.

If you liked Toaru Majutsu no Index add

...then you might like Bakemonogatari add

420 - Both are similar because they feature a reluctant, impotent but extremely invulnerable high school male main character, who continuously finds himself saving (passive) aggressive females who become enamored with him. Though Toaru Majustu never really commits to just one female, and Bakemonogatari is more sexually charged.

If you liked Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi add

...then you might like Kara no Kyoukai Movie 5: Mujun Rasen add

Same kind of fragmented story-telling: a mixture of noir, paranormal/abnormality, with varying degrees of sexual tension while centering on a strong female heroine.

If you liked InuYasha add

...then you might like Kekkaishi add

Both feature adolescent males with a guilt-complex, who are dense, hot-blooded, and intensely protective of a more intelligent girl who feel obligated to share in responsibility of guarding the surrounding area of demonic invaders. Though considering Inuyasha's popularity, Kekkaishi offers a better plot, less repetition, and a more varied cast of re-occuring characters.

If you liked Spriggan add

...then you might like Giniro no Kami no Agito add

Both movies feature an athletic hero, who gets a power-up, alone against an apocalyptic industrial force bent on world domination. Both movies also have a themes surrounding the man vs. nature, ecological concerns.

If you liked Vexille: 2077 Nihon Sakoku add

...then you might like Biohazard: Degeneration add

If you liked Biohazard: Degeneration, then you might like Vexille-2077. Although they differ somewhat in regards to genre. Both showcase an antagonistic global corporation that is flirting with catastrophe for profit. Also, both anime make good use of CG style animation, and have strong gun-toting heroines as central figures.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Seihou Bukyou Outlaw Star add

Both have stellar bounty hunters, explosive battles, and femme fatales.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion Movie: Air/Magokoro wo, Kimi ni add

...then you might like Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven: Pocket ga Niji de Ippai add

Both movies are derived from series full of religious and mystical symbolism. Both are about a conflicted adolescent boy piloting an alien bio-mech, in love with a half-alien/half-human girl, who come to conclusions about authority, their own identity, and their love in the middle of a prophesied apocalypse.
