Ocean Waves has a more mild and believable Tsundere lead who ropes in a similarly earnest guy, with the same context of high school melodrama and family problems. While these essential elements are the same, the plot and the characters are aimed at a completely different target audience.
It's not a sure bet that Ocean Waves will be to your liking just because you enjoyed Toradora, but it provides an interesting and more realistic look at a tsundere romance that's worth checking out.

The first half of TPPiOED is a lot like Ocean Waves. There's a love triangle, where two guys (one with glasses, one not) get involved with a girl. The girls in both differ greatly, Ocean Waves' being very selfish, but you'll watch both and have similar feelings.
Unlike TPPiOED, Ocean Waves doesn't turn into a sci-fi mess half-way through. That's why I rate Ocean Waves a lot higher.
In terms of other Ghibli titles, Ocean Waves is very similar in execution and 'feel' to Only Yesterday and Whisper of the Heart; two of the more mature Ghibli releases.

Both stories deal with youth, time and romantic relationships.
Make sure to watch 5 Centimeters Per Second right after Ocean Waves.

both are about growing up, falling in love, and a slice of life. 5star rating.
All by the famous Hayao Mayazaki from Studio Ghibli in Japan.

It's another heartwarming, coming-of-age story by Ghibli. Like Ocean Waves, It's also one of the few Ghibli films not directed by Miyazaki.

Both are slice of life, coming-of-age stories about young teenage males. They both involve drama and romance, though it is more of a main focus in "Ocean Waves". "BECK" focuses more on music.

Slice-of-Life character study featuring college students having ambiguous romantic feelings for each other. Totally different feel, though.
