If you liked Tamayura add

...then you might like Koisuru Asteroid add

Having watched quite an amount of SoL animes, I found that Koisuru Asteroid has a lot of elements that resemble the Tamayura series. Tamayura is a long original series while Koisuru Asteroid is a 12-episode anime adapted from the manga. Tamayura delves deeper into each individual character and is a much slower anime compared to Koisuru Asteroid. Both animes emphasize on the theme of "to each his own". They feature characters that have different interests but somehow able to form relationships through events and encounters; Thus, making them more diverse than most school anime. In Koisuru Asteroid, it has subjects on astronomy, earth science, tabloid and bakery while Tamayura has photography, theatre, cooking and exploration. Both animes feature going to new places to discover new things. Koisuru Asteroid often has club activities that require the characters to visit exhibitions in different prefectures. In Tamayura, characters venture out to discover new points of interest. Both animes emphasize on the coming-of-age period faced by students. Some of the characters are lost in lives and have no idea what they really wanted to pursue after graduation. Both animes emphasize on the theme of "life goes on" and didn't shy away from topics on separation and new encounters. Seniors will eventually have to graduate while new freshmen will arrive.

If you liked Tamayura: Hitotose add

...then you might like Sakura Quest add

You might be wondering..hmm... One anime is about working adults and another is about high school girls. How could they possibly be similar? On the surface, Sakura Quest doesn't seem to be similar to Tamayura in any way but when you go through them, you'll slowly capture the essence and messages they are trying to portray. The noticeable themes of the anime are that they are both slice of life and the setting is set in a small town and that's about it. What makes Sakura Quest and Tamayura similar is that they are about the journey into finding the purpose of life. In Sakura Quest, you have five main characters who are lost in their lives but stumble upon each other in a small dying town and wish to revive it. Throughout the anime, the main characters slowly gain confidence and realization of what they really wanted to do. Meanwhile, in Tamayura, you have main characters who are high school girls and like to explore the town together. By the time of graduation, some characters questioned their decision in lives while others slowly realized what they really wanted to do. If you enjoy this kind of character progression or maybe you yourself can even relate to them in some way, you should definitely check out whichever you haven't watch. ***I'm recommending Tamayura: Hitotose because it had more exposure than the OVA prequel to Hitotose. If you wish to watch Tamayura series, start from the OVA first.
