Synopsis:

Welcome to the game of Live On! In it, people known as Cardlivers use collectible cards to summon mysterious creatures for battles. One such Cardliver is Kakeru, an elementary school student who wants nothing more than to beat his friend Ai in a game. During a stroll through a park Kakeru runs across a hurt puppy named Petal and, using a card that it gives to him, transforms into a wondrous wolf and defeats the dog's would-be and sinister captors. Alongside Petal, Kakeru sets forth with his new cards to become the best Live On player around!

Live on Cardliver is essentially Yugioh + Pokemon, so this recommendation should come as no surprise. Both have stat-displaying and towering monsters summoned from cards, battling each other in impromptu locations.

Pokemon

Along with the electrical Pikachu and human buddies Brock and Misty, Ash must embark on a journey to battle countless others and become the best Pokemon Trainer of them all!

While many titles out there mimic Pokemon, most aren't as good of a pairing as it and Live on Cardliver. Both have an overly eager protagonist and plenty of proxy battles (cards and pokeballs), and the tone and feel are more lighthearted than most of these shows. There's enough shounen action to appeal to fans of either title.

Inazuma Eleven

Raimon Middle School’s soccer club is led by the boisterous and determined Endou Mamoru. Armed with his grandfather’s notebook on special training and a fierce spirit, Endou desires to lead the team to victory; there’s just one problem: the team is weak, unskilled, and disheartened. However, when several new members come on board, including soccer star Gouenji Shuuya from Kidokawa Seishuu Middle School, things begin to look up for the team. With ruthless opponents to defeat, special moves to acquire and the Soccer Frontier tournament to win, Endou and the gang will kick and block their way to victory!

Admittedly, Live On Cardliver is a card battle anime while Inazuma Eleven is solely sports, but they both have a very, very similar feel and I'm almost certain they'll be enjoyed by the same audience. Each is stereotypical shounen fare with an overly eager protagonist and plenty of glorified battles (whether on the field or with monsters). Try it on for size.

Metal Fight Beyblade

Live on Cardliver Kakeru doesn't deal with tops, but both it and Beyblade have a similar mood/feel, are clearly aimed at the same audience (young boys) and are stereotypical shounen/battling series. If you liked one, give the other a try.
