If you liked Shinigami no Ballad. add

...then you might like Sousou no Frieren add

The main characters start off a bit empty but eventually gain depth. Episodic adventures. Lots of thoughts. Magic.

If you liked Arte add

...then you might like Runway de Waratte add

The MCs have an interest in their respective professions, and work hard to earn it despite obstacles or criticisms. There is no simply learning the tricks of the trade, the characters need to balance profession and passion for their arts.

If you liked Rakushou! Hyper Doll add

...then you might like One Punch Man add

They're both superhero parodies, with scary monsters that terrorize the city for not-so-terrifying reasons.

If you liked Rakuen Tsuihou add

...then you might like Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova add

Both have beautiful cgi rendering, and take place in a post-apocalyptic world.

If you liked Senyuu. add

...then you might like Nanbaka add

Over-the-top comedies that break the fourth wall...a lot! But despite all the wacky randomness, the underlying main plot has a start and an ending. The journey is the reward here. Senyuu episodes last only a few minutes but Nanbaka follows the regular format. Nanbaka also probably had a better budget.

If you liked Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuuchou: Tou add

...then you might like Ga-Rei: Zero add

Both use similar animation techniques and are about fighting demons. The moral undertones of these become a dominant plot device as the story progresses, and question the audience about their approach to common questions... Is it right to love or hate?

If you liked Devil Survivor 2 The Animation add

...then you might like Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova add

Apocalyptic series with a 'selected' protagonist (and his friends) who aim to restore balance to the world. The enemy they deal with are intelligent non-human entities. Both strike me as series you should watch if you have watched the other, they have their own style of execution but share a similar atmosphere and narrative. Ars Nova is more fleshed out in terms of strategy though.

If you liked Ayakashi add

...then you might like Dies Irae add

It's a "battle royale" similar to the Fate series (all sourced from visual novels too)! But keep in mind, the studios that adapted these were fairly new to the production scene at the time of making.

If you liked Skip Beat! add

...then you might like Bijin Kakumei add

Main girl aims for revenge on an old crush who slighted her.

If you liked Shisha no Teikoku add

...then you might like Kuroshitsuji Movie: Book of the Atlantic add

These take a page from Sherlock Holmes. 19th century England, and the fascination of bringing the dead back to life. Be prepared to see detective work, action, and the occult in both!

If you liked Rental Magica add

...then you might like Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist add

Stories involving Solomon's descendants. They also follow an easy monster-of-the-week format.

If you liked Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust add

...then you might like Hamelin no Violin Hiki: The Movie add

Hilarious, old-school, fantasy anime. The gags can be a little 'recycled' but still enough on the eyes.

If you liked Un-Go add

...then you might like Bungou Stray Dogs add

Detectives who take on supernatural cases, while being a mix of supernatural beings themselves.

If you liked Pale Cocoon add

...then you might like Shelter (Music) add

What happens when humanity is on the brink of extinction? Staking it out in outer space becomes an option. Pale Cocoon expounds on the mundane life of living in space, and can get dull eventually, but features a musical section that is as beautiful as Shelter.

If you liked Tactics add

...then you might like Kyougoku Natsuhiko: Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari add

Episodic cases of the supernatural, narrated by a group of recurring characters. Tactics boasts a larger cast of characters, but 100 Stories has more mature content.

If you liked Boys Love add

...then you might like Heaven's Door add

Both of these are touching stories with the couples fulfilling their lifelong wish to see the sea. Except that Boys Love is a BL romance and rather rushed compared to Heaven's Door. These have live-action adaptions to them too.
