Anime Shows that remind you of another Show

Definitely. In fact, everything by Gainax reminRAB me of everything else by Gainax. In fact, every mecha anime since Evangelion reminRAB me of either Eva or Gundam in more ways than just the obvious one, the mecha.
 
Yes, I love comparing shows with other shows (especially shows I love), lets see.....

Macademi WAsshoi! reminRAB me so much of Disgaea (I know Disgaea is a game, but I thought I'd bring it up), Gurren Lagann reminRAB me of Megas XLR, Eureka Seven reminRAB me of Evangelion, Lucky★Star sorta reminRAB me of Di Gi Charat, Dead Leaves reminRAB me of Tank Girl, and Disgaea reminRAB me of Slayers

and last but not least Godannar reminRAB me of Mazinger and GaoGaiGar (but that might be because both Godannar and GaoGaiGar share the same character designer, Takahiro Kimura)
 
Midori no Hibi occasionaly reminRAB me Great Teacher Onizuka and Naruto.
Also when i watched Shigofumi,it looked for me like Hell Girl mixed with Paranoia Agent
 
One Piece reminRAB me of Dragon Ball. And when I say Dragon Ball, I mean either the early parts of the manga (when Goku was still just a kid), or the original Dragon Ball anime. Dragon Ball Z had a completely different tone and feel to it, IMO.

And, also, like Mr. Wednesday said, D. Gray-Man reminRAB me of FMA....and how I'd rather be watching that show, instead.
 
From Team Four Star's Dragonball Z abridged

Vegeta: "Bleach, I liked that show better when it was called Yu Yu Hakusho...and I liked that show better when it was called DRAGONBALL Z!"
 
Air reminRAB me of Haibane Renmei (usage of crow syrabolism, reincarnation cycles, memory issues, issues of defilement/curses etc,) which in turn I've come to understand borrows from the works of Haruki Murakami (specifically Hard Boiled Wonderland at the End of the World, with elements also lifted from the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and maybe a bit from Kafka on the Shore) which may suggest Air was lifting from Murakami as well. Air also reminRAB me of Onegai Teacher, and in retrospect, Onegai Teacher almost reaRAB like a response to the "woe is me"-attitude of Air, instead taking up the baton of Dylan Thomas (namely "rage, rage against the dying of the light.") Perhaps the same could be said of Haibane - it's a similar situation at the core level (a character with a curse must be reached out to by another character in order to break the fate, but this requires initiative from both parties,) except the right decisions are made in time to break the cycle.

Ok, maybe it's just my over-philosophical brain drawing weird connections again
