...then you might like Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi add

Other than their similarities within their plot, a guy meeting a girl with health problems, the characters in these movies are also quite similar. The story mainly revolves around two characters, a resilient person who does not know the concept of giving up and a person having little to no interest in life; then they meet, and they thrive together; what happened next is simply unexpected. If you want to know what happened next, then you might what to check it out.

If you liked Kimi no Na wa. add

...then you might like Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi add

Features a romantic tale where the heroine is older than the hero, them presenting a story that many people can relate to and them showing what love really can do. Other things to keep in mind when considering in watching these two are their soundtracks and visuals.

If you liked Koe no Katachi add

...then you might like Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi add

Although "A Silent Voice" is a lot heavier to the heart in contrast to "Josee," the two can still be considered as similar since both have a premise of a guy falling in love with a disabled girl. Other than that, the two are also accompanied by a phenomenal soundtrack and astonishing graphics and animation. If you've already watched "A Silent Voice" and liked it, then I am positive that you'll also like "Josee."

If you liked Akame ga Kill! add

...then you might like 86 add

Terrific world-building, a considerable amount of lore, and well... a lot of character deaths. Although "Akame ga Kill" is about a group of assassins while "86" centers on an oppressed minority, I still consider these series similar since both fairly presents an idea where there is an outrageous government being chaotic neutral to chaotic evil towards its people (also presents racism, so yeah...). Loads of depressing scenes, passing and annihilation after demise then extinction; one can even call these two as "who would die next?" The Anime. Anyway, I recommend both to anyone who enjoys watching fantasy/sci-fi that presents ideas about the darker side of society.

If you liked Inu x Boku SS add

...then you might like Shadows House add

Offers a similar idea presenting the relationship between a master and their servant, except "Inu x Boku SS" focuses more on the romantic premise, whereas "Shadows House" is not romantic in any way and has a sinister ring to it. Thereby If you had watched "Inu x Boku SS" but wished it was darker, then go ahead and watch "Shadows House." If you had watched "Shadows House" but wished it has the romantic premise, then you might want to check "Inu x Boku SS."

If you liked Plastic Memories add

...then you might like Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara add

Are about a timid, pessimistic, and quite depressed white-haired girl who sees the world negatively; however, an unexpected event has happened, resulting in her meeting someone who could change her perspective and mindset towards life. As for my opinion, both has numerous amount of heart-fluttering and touching moments that even an avid romance watcher might find surprising.

If you liked Nagi no Asu kara add

...then you might like Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara add

Similar artistic approach using both 2D and 3D assets and then blends them to become a whole new definition of astonishing. I find every scene from both series is splendid, creative, and are mesmerizing to the eyes, and I can guarantee that one would not find either boring in any way. Other than that, the similarities emphasize the premise and character dynamics as well, since it is about a group of friends discovering love from one another while trying to comprehend the fantastical aspects that revolve around it. With all that said, I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys romantic ideas mixed with fantasy concepts.

If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara add

Tells a tale of a woman who sees the world differently as they try to comprehend the concept of happiness. However, as the story progresses, she will meet new people who could teach and told her otherwise, turning her into a fresh perspective that will develop her overall character. Another similarity is within the ambiance since both have a dramatic tone to them that can potentially give the "feels" to anyone who would watch these. The two also have remarkable animation and soundtracks that most people could find mesmerizing. If you want to watch a fantasy series that deals heavily with the concept of discovering oneself, then I highly recommend these series to you.

If you liked ReLIFE add

...then you might like Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara add

Focuses on a character who is granted a chance to go back into the past, providing them an opportunity to take back what was lost and for them to relive the life they could've had. Both have a school setting; however, the personalities of the main character as different. Nevertheless, the two can still give the same feelings and vibes as both incorporate the same concept at some point from the series.

If you liked Just Because! add

...then you might like Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara add

Same case, same scenario But with a difference in the concepts used A story that revolves around students developing a relationship with each other, either in a romantic way or as a friend. As for the said difference, "Just Because!" is a slice of life that focuses more on the romantic aspects, while "Irozuku: The World in Colors" emphasizes the discovery of oneself while dealing with fantasy concepts.

If you liked Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen add

...then you might like Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

Child in a fantasy setting, them discovering new things and them learning valuable lessons from the people around them. For me, both shows are relaxing to watch as it doesn't focus on complicated stuff but can still be interesting. I recommend these two for anyone who enjoys cutesy on a fantasy series.

If you liked Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki add

...then you might like Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

The two revolve around the concepts of family relationships, parenting, and fantasy as a cherry on top with a premise of both the parent and the child learning valuable lessons as they encounter memorable experiences with one another. As for my opinion, the two are one of the shows that hit too close to home. What I mean by that is both are relatable, and I enjoyed every part of it. Hence, I recommend both to anyone who also appreciates these kinds of stuff.

If you liked Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

...then you might like Kakushigoto add

Heartwarming yet painful series that focuses on the premise of a paternal bond between a father and his daughter, the daughter who yearns to learn the world while her father has something to hide that is a bitter truth. If you are curious about it, then go ahead and discover it for yourself. On the other hand, the ambiance between the two differs as "SomaliMori" focuses more on drama, world-building, and fantasy aspects, whereas "Kakushigoto" is a standard slice of life anime consisting of both drama and comedy. Nevertheless, both are fun and interesting to watch as they primarily present the same concept.

If you liked Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator add

...then you might like Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

This recommendation is one-sided since "Accelerator" is part of a massive franchise (which means you need to watch the series before it to understand this one) unless you have already seen/know the "Toaru" franchise. In simple terms, if you enjoyed the premise in accelerator wherein a powerful being is babysitting a literal child, then you might want to check "SomaliMori." Apart from that, I think the two are similar (aside from the premise) in retrospect of their character dynamics while being different in everything else (especially in the concepts used). With that said, I find "Accelerator" being fairly similar to "Golem" in terms of their attributes, while "Somali" having the capacity to bring the same vibes as "Last Order" as they essentially have the same personality.

If you liked Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou add

...then you might like Somali to Mori no Kamisama add

Focuses more on fantasy aspects with a premise of a mythical being meeting and raising a human child out of unexpected circumstance, who eventually have to say goodbye. Moreover, for me, the two have the same ambiance as they can bring in those wholesome yet sorrowful feels. In any case, if you enjoy stories that highly incorporate the concept of familial bond, then I am quite sure that you will adore this series/movie.

If you liked Hibike! Euphonium add

...then you might like Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight add

Although both revolve around various concepts (musical in "Sound! Euphonium" while theatrical in "Revue Starlight"), they are, however, similar nonetheless as the two reflect the same premise about a young girl wanting to become a star. For me, the character dynamics are the same; Karen from "Revue Starlight" is essentially Kumiko from "Sound! Euphonium" while "Hikari" from "Revue Starlight" is basically "Reina" from "Sound! Euphonium." To simply put, it focuses on the relationship between a cheerful type (deredere) and a cold type (kuudere). With all that said, if you enjoyed either, then I am sure you will love the latter too!

If you liked Lucky☆Star add

...then you might like Yuru Yuri add

Four girls and one friendship Your standard CGDCT with average school girls with ordinary life as they make every scene hilarious as it can get. As for my opinion, the two are similar mainly in their premise of not having a plot as it primarily focuses on its gags to make it seem fun towards its viewers.

If you liked Kanamemo add

...then you might like Yuru Yuri add

Shoujo-ai series that doesn't focus on romance but instead focuses on its comedic aspects. The two are substantially similar; everything from its setting, background, premise and even the plot is highly similar on so many levels. As for my opinion, the humor in these series is not for everyone, if you have already watched either and you liked it, then I recommend you to watch the other.

If you liked K-On! add

...then you might like Yuru Yuri add

Young girls with their hobbies, antics, and everyday happenings with their happy and memorable daily life. Similar settings and concepts used, as I said, are about the everyday life of schoolgirls as they enjoy the things they love. Furthermore, it is about talking, more talking, much talking, and endless amounts of talking. If you like watching young girls talk about their interests, then I highly recommend this series to you.

If you liked Yuru Yuri add

...then you might like Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? add

Moe moe kyun kyun slice of life series presenting the daily activities of four young girls as they show heart-fluttering moments and form a wholesome bond with one another. Similar vibes, but with a different setting. Both are relaxing on so many levels and can somehow ease the pain if there happens to be one.

If you liked Lucky☆Star add

...then you might like Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou add

Slice of life series that exists not for the plot but for the gags that can bring enjoyment and fun to its viewers. Watch these to laugh like there is no tomorrow, and watch these if you only want to have fun while not caring about the story or anything about its characters.

If you liked Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

...then you might like Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui add

Contains a romantic premise of a person hopelessly pursuing their loves towards a person who is much younger/older than them. Although the said premise is romantic, none about these two series feels erotic nor sensual as it mainly focuses on dramatic aspects (After the Rain) and comedic concepts (KoiKimo).

If you liked Kotonoha no Niwa add

...then you might like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

Rain and love about two people having an age gap. Them meeting and being friends in spite of rain, and then them having to form a romantic relationship despite their age. The setting is significantly similar so expect to feel the same vibes. If you have already watched either one, then I am sure you will like the latter too.

If you liked Blend S add

...then you might like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

Did you watched "Blend S" and wished it was dramatic instead of being comedic while having a romantic premise? Well, "After the Rain" is what you are looking for! Other than that, the two have some similarities like the setting (eatery/restaurant/cafe setting) and concepts used, focusing its characters having to form a platonic bond between the cashier, cook, waiter, and the manager.

If you liked Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

...then you might like Yesterday wo Utatte add

About a worker with love from the past, and a girl who wants to pursue her love towards the person who is much older than them. Other similarities are within the setting, gloomy atmosphere, and slow-paced story progression. One would like both if they are interested and want to be invested in those things mentioned.

If you liked Koi wa Ameagari no You ni add

...then you might like Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. add

Romantic series about an adult man meeting a high school girl. What happens next is completely out of the loop as they don't know if the relationship they have is as friends or as lovers. What to know what happens next? Then why don't you head out and see for yourself!

If you liked Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare add

...then you might like Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu add

Great anime romance movies to watch for relaxing and passing the time as they are lighthearted, short, and aren't too heavy for the heart yet can still give the same sensation as other dramatic romance films can do. Moreover, I think that the premise and setting are highly similar; a tale about a young schoolgirl who cannot confess to her crush. I recommend both for those who want to watch a non-depressing melodramatic romance film.

If you liked Nagi no Asu kara add

...then you might like Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare add

"Love Me, Love Me Not" is remarkably similar to "A Lull in the Sea" but without the "sea/ocean" concept. From friends to lovers, confession, rejection, unrequited love, and a five-way romance. If you like all or most of those things, then I think both can provide the same feeling to you as it starts as funny and proceeds to become dramatic over time.

If you liked Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita. Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai add

...then you might like Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare add

Contains a premise of a young girl who cannot be vocal with her feelings yet still tries to do her best to confess towards the person she likes. I find both similar due to them having similar settings, atmosphere, and character dynamics. I recommend these to anyone who enjoys watching fast-faced animated romantic movies.
