Both series are seinen grounded in reality about adults struggling with their relationships and choices. Wave is more comedic and episodic while Yesterday is more focused on the characters' romantic pursuits.

Positive cheerful protagonist thrust into a new world only to have his spirit absolutely crushed. Both involve the main character being disillusioned to the horrors of the world around them and thrust into despair.

If you liked Higashi no Eden add

...then you might like Zankyou no Terror add

Very similar concepts which use domestic terrorists to critique the Japanese government. They each have nice OSTs and cinematography but Eden accomplishes the terrorism/social-critique angle much more effectively than ZnT.

If you liked Kaiba add

...then you might like Space☆Dandy 2nd Season add

Artistic, stylish, colorful, contemplative, fantastical stories about exploring worlds and different ways of life in the universe. Dandy is much more comedic but can share some of the heartfelt moments of Kaiba. A few episodes of Dandy look straight out of Kaiba. Both series take such beautiful and courageous liberty with their art direction.

If you liked Perfect Blue add

...then you might like Jin-Rou add

Very similar atmosphere and style. They each have pretty intense endings which leave you questioning the characters' motives.

If you liked Sidonia no Kishi add

...then you might like Shingeki no Kyojin add

The last of humanity fighting a mysterious enemy. Sidonia's story is paced better/faster than Titan and introduces new plot points regularly to keep you interested. Sidonia is like Titan in space with mechs and a stronger plot and characters. I feel like Sidonia accomplishes what Titan is trying to do much better.

If you liked Ore to Akuma no Blues add

...then you might like Prison School add

Completely different manga and style. However, same mangaka. It is very interesting to see how his style differs between the two. Prison School is an interesting read to see how the author went in a completely different direction. You can see subtleties he carried over between the two like the dynamic camera angles and use of perspective. The nicely rendered environments and facial reactions too. I thoroughly enjoy them both and I feel like I appreciate one more for having read the other.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion Movie: Air/Magokoro wo, Kimi ni add

...then you might like Ergo Proxy add

Extremely similar themes about self-discovery, growing up and deciding your own destiny. Both contain heavy amounts of symbolism and introspection into characters' psyche. They're both about learning to take responsibility for your actions and thinking for yourself. Both Shinji and Vince face a dilemma about whether to obey the will of a father-figure or whether to create their own unique path in their life. Re-l's and Asuka's character development practically parallel each other verbatim. They each learn to become more open, less arrogant and show some compassion to others. Action and symbolism abound in them both but that's not what either of them are about. The true meaning is obscured and may not be clear if taken at face value. Despite what little significance something might seem to have it's all interrelated.
