If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Bai Yao Pu add

The MCs are experts of the supernatural (in the case of Mushishi, mushi, and in Bai Yao Pu, yaoguai, though their phenomenon are similar). They travel, helping people or yaoguai, often taking some small supernatural bits as payment. It focuses on stories of different characters in an episodic or biepisodic format, mostly bittersweet.

If you liked Sakasama no Patema add

...then you might like Nagi no Asu kara add

Both are fantasy/soft sci-fi wtih similar plots. They both are set in run-down civilizations showing significant decline, and have people from two different worlds who are in conflict with each other, and people bridging the gap.

If you liked Wan Sheng Jie add

...then you might like You Shou Yan add

Both are silly comedic donghua with vibrant hand drawn animation, centered around slice of life of fantastical creatures living in something resembling our modern world.

If you liked Boku dake ga Inai Machi add

...then you might like Takopii no Genzai add

Both show some pretty horrific abuse of children (though Takopii has more and it's basically constant). The MC makes use of a particular ability to try to fix up the timeline and make things better for the young sufferers.

If you liked Liang Bu Yi add

...then you might like Kusuriya no Hitorigoto add

Both involve concubines, assassination plots, political scheming (i.e. standard palace drama topics). Liang Bu Yi is more overtly a romance, but Kusuriya no Hitorigoto surely has a ship that will eventually sail.

If you liked Haibane Renmei add

...then you might like Fruits Basket 1st Season add

These are stories about characters dealing with similar kinds of mental issues. Reki feels like some combination of Tohru and Kyo.

If you liked Haibane Renmei add

...then you might like Wonder Egg Priority add

Both deal with death, past traumas, self-harm, friendship, and salvation. Wonder Egg Priority is much more combat focused while Haibane Renmei is peaceful drama.

...then you might like Angel Beats! add

They both have the MC waking up in a strange place with no memory. They are taken in by a group of people who also have arrived in this place without memory of their previous existence. They make friends and strong bonds and it gets emotional.

If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Bai Yao Pu add

Both explore the lives of beings the female MC meets during her journey, focusing more on the feelings of these side characters as the MC helps them. They are both appropriate for audiences looking for a non-sexualized strong female character in an emotional drama.

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Wonder Egg Priority add

Both have girls work for mysterious beings, becoming magical girls and fighting monsters, in exchange for a wish.

If you liked Wonder Egg Priority add

...then you might like Dandadan add

Goes between high school setting and hyper crazy monster fights in a supernatural reality that most people aren't aware of. The animation is smooth with bright trippy colors. The monster designs are similar between the two series, sentient, with some basis in human but twisted and garishly colored like a harlequin, with giant, uh, appendages, and some connection to psychological trauma in the past.

If you liked Nagi no Asu kara add

...then you might like Atri: My Dear Moments add

Very similar watery setting with a similar appearance. Both have a run-down flooded school in a post-(partial)apocalypse type setting. And both are romance dramas intertwined with the characters trying to accomplish some goals. There's a bit of love triangle in Atri, while in Nagiasu it's more like a love dodecagon.

If you liked Hinamatsuri add

...then you might like Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! add

Similar vibe, due to the goblin brat MC who we give a pass to because she's cute and smol. Both are reverse isekai comedy, with a found family theme where the MC develops some level of humanity from interacting with the people who take them in.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Gintama add

Similar protagonists: perpetually broke opportunists who are very skilled with a dark past Episodic plot, usually some kind of money making job which never changes the status quo by the end Similar use of music, especially blues, during storytelling. Both made by Sunrise

If you liked Mousou Dairinin add

...then you might like ChäoS;HEAd add

Both use unreliable narration to make you question what is real and what is imagination.

If you liked Isekai Shokudou add

...then you might like Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi add

They both center around food and have fantasy creatures gushing over how good real Earth food is. They both have a laid back vibe with no real danger and are mostly a device to have people react to yummy food they have never tasted before. Campfire cooking has a little more adventure and progression, while Isekai Restaurant is episodic with a large varied cast and no central story.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

...then you might like Tu Bian Yingxiong Leaf add

Both have a group of childhood friends and contain themes of growing up, grief, drifting apart, and getting together. Lots of flashbacks to childhood memories. There's more, but that would get a little too spoiley to say.

If you liked Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon add

...then you might like Hinamatsuri add

The vibe between these shows is similar, with outlandish comedy mixed with real heart-felt moments of found family. In both, a child with superpowers is adopted by a person and they learn some things about family.

If you liked Gintama add

...then you might like Hinamatsuri add

Both are situation comedy with heavy hearted moments and outlandish moments. Both have a superpowered child getting more or less adopted by a not-so-good person. Well, the child is also not such a good person, but they manage to form some familial bonds anyways.

If you liked Mob Psycho 100 add

...then you might like Mashle add

MC have a similar personality and are really dumb but very OP. They have a pure innocence and righteousness which inspires baddies to be better people. They look similar, too.

If you liked Aishen Qiaokeli-ing... add

...then you might like Kimi no Koto ga Daidaidaidaidaisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo add

Both have way too many girls in love with the MC due to some love god mishap. Both shows don't take themselves seriously and have a lot of silly nonsense.

If you liked Death Parade add

...then you might like Bai Yao Pu add

The main characters look into the lives of new side characters of the week, and by unraveling the tensions in their life we understand what it is to be human.

If you liked Mob Psycho 100 add

...then you might like Dandadan add

Similar art style with a lot of moving stuff and chaotic high energy line work. Psychic powers, ghosts, aliens. Similar kind of quirky humor Intense action.

If you liked Ookami to Koushinryou add

...then you might like Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

Both shows involve making money from merchants and organizations by using sharp negotiation skills.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu add

...then you might like Steins;Gate Movie: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu add

I won't normally add sequels to recommendations but this one is too obvious to not add. They both involve the beloved central character from the main series disappearing from the world line and everyone acting as if they never existed, except the protagonist knows something is wrong. There are time travel shenanigans in both.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like ChäoS;HEAd add

Suzumiya Haruhi has definite Science Adventure Series vibes to it. Conceptually, it is pretty similar to ChäoS;HEAd, but the group dynamics and overall quality are more like Steins;Gate. Weird stuff happens for vaguely scientific reasons, and it would be spoily to get into details, but Suzumiya shares a lot of the mystery and philosophical aspects to ChäoS;HEAd.

If you liked Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Suzumiya Haruhi has definite Science Adventure Series vibes to it. Conceptually, it is pretty similar to ChäoS;HEAd, but the group dynamics and overall quality are more like Steins;Gate. The SOS brigade is a lot like the Future Gadget Laboratory, headed by an obnoxious larger-than-life deluded individual and doing pointless projects to stave off boredom. The overall vibe is similar to the first part of Steins;Gate before Steins;Gate becomes sad.

If you liked Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

...then you might like Kusuriya no Hitorigoto add

Similar vibe and story. The MC is a girl in a historical setting born into a lower caste in a very socially stratified society. But she uses her intelligence and knowledge to advance herself, catching the eye of higher ups. She has to tread carefully as as a low class girl her life is cheap and could be taken for any mishap or perceived mishap. The MCs are similar in that they aren't really interested in power but they are obsessed with one thing (books for Myne and drugs/herbs for MaoMao). Oh, and both shows are very, very good.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Bai Yao Pu add

MC befriends yokai/yaoguai. Yokai/yaoguai can be malevolent but many of them are kind like humans, and they can talk and fall in love with humans. These shows focus on their stories. Natsume Yujincho is more peaceful and happy, with very little tension, while Bai Yao Pu has a lot more sad moments.

If you liked Ergo Proxy add

...then you might like Kaiba add

Weird as fuck story telling style. You are going to have to do some work on figuring out what this is all about. Presents philosophical ideas by showing rather than telling, and as such is really confusing.
