Top 30 of 60 suggestions

Anime like Gundam

347 people recommend Legend of the Galactic Heroes to anyone who liked Gundam — more than any other title. Space Runaway Ideon is second on 221 votes and Neon Genesis Evangelion third on 165. 27 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched Gundam and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Seven of the 30 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished Gundam and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Legend of the Galactic Heroes follows Gundam, only that 347 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

60 suggestions cleared the vote floor for Gundam — far more than a page can usefully rank, so these are the 30 with the most votes behind them. The rest are the long tail of one or two seasons each. Add Gundam to the picker if you want them weighed against everything else you have watched rather than against this franchise alone.

7 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Legend of the Galactic Heroes , Neon Genesis Evangelion , Macross , Gurren Lagann , Code Geass , 86 Eighty-Six , Dragon Ball .

Keep going

Each of these has its own list of what people recommend after it — so if one of the suggestions above appeals, you can see where it leads before committing to it.
