Anime 32281 Kimi No Na Wa Userrecs

Love stories with a touch of supernatural. Both done by the same director and are awesome movies everyone should watch. They share the same universe(Tenki no Ko has cameos from Kimi no Na Wa's characters) which is irrelevant for the plot but fun fact to know.  

Overall, Makoto Shinkai's films tend to complete themselves, since all the films are set in the same universe. Also, in the search of a visual experience at same level (spoiler: its very hard to find) or if you just want to watch a more deeper story, Kimi no Na Wa probably its the right choice to you 

If you enjoy romance anime with exceptionally beautiful animation and a touch of mysticism, Kimi no Na wa and Tenki no Ko are excellent choices. Both films are created by the same author and share a universe, presenting stories that delve into a magical and superstitious atmosphere. 

Same director, same art design and the story structure itself is quite similar 

-Amazing soundtrack -Amazing Artwork -Good plot -Super good climax scene -RADWIMPS/Makoto Shinkai -Both anime focus on the relationship between the two character -Both anime create a supernatural situation  

Both: from the same universe same director and amazing animation Radwimps musics Romance, drama and adventure Very epic climax 

-Two absolutely stunning movies by the man himself - Makoto Shinkai -A love-story infused with the supernatural and more -High production soundscape and OSTs -Definite must-watch titles if you've watched just one :) 

This is an obvious comparison as both share the same visual style and director, but Your Name and Weathering With You are well-animated anime films with themes of romance and the supernatural (the latter is even set in the same universe as the former, though it's not necessary to watch the former to enjoy the latter). Several other similarities are well-done musical montages (as well as RADWIMPS), family problems, an emotionally charged climax, and a touch of Japanese culture. 

Other than the fact that these two were crafted by Makoto Shinkai and his team thus having the same art style and animation, they also contain the same formula and elements. Both revolve contain Shinto religion, both are love stories with supernatural aspects revolving around them, both contain extremely similar story/plot and pacing structure (especially during the climax), and both have RADWIMPS for the music. 

Tenki no Ko takes a more cynical approach to the supernatural, showing what happens when the will of the gods/supernatural interferes in the lives of the modern age. Instead of going on a desperate love quest to look for his destined one, he finds her at the beginning, easy right? Wrong. Life is simply unfair, and much more punishing than that. Overall, I feel like the flow of the story was much more fluid than Kimi no Na Wa. However, I would say the emotional parts aren't as powerful. Granted, this movie works wonders as a sequel, occurring 1 year after Taki and Mitsuha get together. The movie includes more realistic themes than Kimi no Na Wa but requires less knowledge of Japanese culture, because of how the details are strongly implied to you. The movie is even more realistic than the Kimi no Na Wa because of the fact that it's more connected to the city, but the protagonist is just so unintelligent it's sometimes painful to endure. Overall, I would recommend just sitting back and letting the movie take you in. The flow is just so well done. The sound design is brilliant, and the music is just so good of a match. The ending is an acquired taste, but I think a certain appearance will make you grin in your seat.  

It's made by the same director, who pays attention to great details in movies. Plus both movies have stunning visuals 

made by shinkai makoto animated by same studio similar animation heartwarming story  

A transcendental love story. Your Name and Weathering With You are both great boy meets girl stories around two teenagers who are caught up in supernatural affairs. Your Name follows Taki and Mitsuha as they continuously body swap with one another leading to a journey to find one another. Weathering With You follows runaway Hodaka and 'sunshine girl' Hina on their journey of helping others via weather changing powers and finding a place to be. Both simple supernatural romance but are visual eye candy with amazing OST, made by the same director Makoto Shinkai. 

In both: - there are two teenagers, which are main characters - director is Shinkai Makoto - tags are Drama, Romace, Supernatural, Slice of Life - amazing music by RADWIMPS - beautiful art 

Both films have similar themes and pull at your heart strings. Both have beautiful visuals and musical scores.  

To start, both movies are made by the same director and have a very similar art style. They're both absolutely stunning. Also, both of them follow a male+female duo who fall in love over the course of the movie. They also both revolve around the boy saving the girl from some supernatural happenings so she won't die. 

Kimi no Na wa and Tenki no Ko are both created by Makoto Shinkai and Radwimps did both of the stunning sound tracks. ~ Both are romance, drama, and fantasy/supernatural ~ Both have really unique storylines ~ Really pretty visuals and amazing music ~ Both are really bitter-sweet and are full of feels ~ They also both have appearances from characters in other Shinkai works Overall they are both really amazing films that I think almost anybody could love. 

Made by the same person, very similar character personalities. Art style is amazing in both. 

They are both from the same director. Both of them start using the logic of the real world (meaning that everyone know that time traveling or super powers are not real for example) and then they start being illogical like allowing time traveling for example. In both of these anime the same band sings. Both will make you cry. How the story flows and everything else are really similar in both of these animes. 

Both of the movies are directed by same person. And they both have stunning visual's with a very good story. 

Also directed by Shinkai, has both supernatural and romance elements with gorgeous visuals and storytelling.  

They are both Directed by Makoto Shinkai and both are a romance story involving two teenagers. Animated by the same studio and both just have. very beautiful animation. 

They are both linked and the visuals are absolutely stunning with great stories! Both directed & written by Makoto Shinkai Production Company: CoMix Wave Films 

God tier animations and probably the best art styles you will see in animated movies. Both movies include superpowers as well as romance and some depression ⁀⊙﹏☉⁀ 

Very similiar theme and feeling. The characters from Kimi no Na wa also follow here a little. 

Both of the movies are directed by Makoto Shinkai, and they exist in the same universe. Bunch of references to the previous movie, similarly beautiful scenery and animation. Both movies are awe-inspiring in similar ways, you will be immersed so greatly that the fictional world will become real and you will wish to share the experiences with the characters yourself. Both movies TRULY AMAZING. 

Romantic tales are established through supernatural concepts, sharing a similar premise within an identical universe. In general, I would suggest simply pausing for a minute or two and allowing the film to take you in. The story in these movies is well done while being accompanied by a splendid soundtrack as the drift of its art style is presented. Almost all the people I know love these movies, and I'm sure you'll like them too! Give it a try and see for yourself! 

They are both from the same studio and both have beautiful art, a beautiful story and scenery. The vibe of these two animes are similar and Mitsuha and Taki even makes a guest apearance in Weathering with you!  

The awaited sequel to Makoto Shinkai's highly praised and extremely well-received Kimi No Na Wa, or Your Name, Weathering With You has become another prominent movie in the early 2020 movie roster. I personally enjoyed Weathering With You more-so than Your Name, but that might just be my craziness. While both films' plots are debated frequently, the soundtrack of Weathering With You is objectively better, as RADWIMPS have simply outdone themselves in this new story. It might not matter much to you, but the soundtrack of a movie is very determinant in my overall enjoyment of it, and in some cases, can carry a movie the whole way through.  

Both are about a mysterious event happening, also a developing relationship between a girl and a boy 

Its another Makoto-goddamn-Shinkai movie, need more convincing? He manages to somehow perfect Your Name's visual fidelity, by some voodoo black magic make it even more detailed than before, with even the skidding of a shoe launching into a sprint off a floor slick from heavy rain looking perfect. RADWIMPS makes a return, orchastrating only another perfect fitting OST for Weathering With You. The only concern you should have is to not ride the tsunami of hype that Your Name brought over into your watching of Tenki No Ko. Its not a sequel, it wasn't written to be one, and should be respected as its own film. You'll want this over any blue sky.  

Both masterpieces by the same director Makoto shinkai. 

Both are great romance movies with a side of supernatural on them, they're great starters for people who just got into romance anime/movies, if you have watched the one, you should watch the other certantly. 

Both are really touching and romantic movies directed by Makoto Shinkai that will entertain you through all the watch. 

With the same studio and director, both movies give great detail to the scene and surroundings, making it really enjoyable to watch. The two stories are based on a supernatural idea witch carries the story of two students and the adversities they have to go through. If you've watched either and enjoyed it, the other is a sure must. 

Same atmosphere, same director. Happen to be on the same page, but different timeline. Both about romance, both have some supernatural stuff. 

This is probably the closest you are going to get if want something similar to Your Name. Its got the same artstyle, director, band doing the OST, and type of plot (romance/supernatural). A definite recommendation! 

Both explore relationships in a fantasy manner and the main protagonists fall for people who seem close but are also quite far away. The animation for both are also really pretty 

They are both made by Mokoto Shinkai and are similar in plot beats such as that they are both about a romance with some supernatural elements.  

Similar in animation, genre and overall feeling. 

Both sad, both very aesthetically pleasing :) 

SImilar romance movies that deal with natural events. Two people who feel out of place find their place due to each other. Also, the animation quality is similar  

The art styles of both movies are breathtaking, and they are directed by the same legend Makoto Shinkai. 

Very similar art styles and genres, both beautiful movies. 

both made by same director have same themes and animation.  

Tenki no ko is similar to Kimi no na wa, as both have an amazing and complex plot, moments of tension and exciting scenes. Both were made by the same author, and that is why they take place in the same universe. 

Another movie filled with emotions created by Shinkai sensei. If Your Name made you cry you will tear up watching this movie too. 

Yes, this is quite obvious since both were written by our beloved Makoto Shinkai. In my opinion, "Your Name" outclasses "Weathering with You" since the latter has several plot holes, somewhat of a disturbing message (sacrifice), and an immature and irresponsible main character. HOWEVER, regardless it is still an amazing watch as the animation is breathtaking! Anyways, if you haven't watched either I strongly recommend. (Also, as a side note, watch "I want to eat your pancreas" if you haven't already:) ) 

The same developers. share a great graphic section for their time, both have a great soundtrack and have a decent story. 

Both by Makoto Shinkai. Beautiful visuals and story pacing overall. Very similar vibes and subtle references. 

Same director, same art design and the story is quite similar 

Romance, wholesome, both about how protagonists went through troubles to find each other again 

I recommend this anime and Tenki no Ko because they are pretty similar exactly since the director is the same person. At the end of the anime of Kimi no Na wa it really gives you excited vibes and makes you want the director to make movie 2, following on from that. It’s the same with Tenki no Ko. They are so enjoyable and entertaining. That’s why I recommend these anime’s and the similarities. Please don’t criticise or start a argument over things I’ve said or spelling because it’s not necessary. Thank you! 

when it comes to animation both movies have exactly the same awe-inspiring visual style amd even the characters feeels the same . 

Tenki no Ko and Kimi no Na wa both have the same director. This results in almost exactly the same style and feel in both movies. The plots are also very similar. They both depict a teenage romance with some supernatural elements thrown in to spice it up. They are both near the same length, have some of the most gorgeous scenery in anime, and, of course, the animation slaps in each one. 

Same director, same studio, magical songs by Radwimps. 

if you like Tenki no ko, then you'll 100% like kimi no na wa. Personally i think its the best Anime Movie of all time. And its my personal favorite anime of all time 

Compared to previous Shinkai works, Your Name resulted to me more fast paced and intriguing, so of all his works, I found Weathering with You to be the most similar one. 

From a tragic love tale to the soundtracks Tenki no Ko definitely gave me Kimi no Na wa vibes. if you have the time and if your one of those people who ranked Kimi no Na wa a "10" you wont be disappointed  

Both of the animes were directed by the same person, which explains the similarities between them. They have the same stylistics with great soundtracks. The stories are both simple but intriguing and the character’s progress at the same speed. Plus the main characters from Kimi no Na wa make cameos in Tenki no Ko. 

Same director, same animation studio, Radwimps composed the OST of the two films and there is a good romance in both works! 

They both have similar animation (Makoto Shinkai's). You will like it for sure. 

Not only do the movies share the same director but also the soundtrack is written by the same band (RADWIMPS) and the characters Mitsuha and Taki appear in Tenki no Ko as a short cameo. Both movies are great romances and have led me to tears. 

They’re both made by lord shinkai and have very similar plots.  

emotional, supernatural, romance  

- same director: Makoto Shinkai - aesthetically pleasing artwork with gorgeous landscapes - fantastical elements that have some tie to nature that are rooted in mythology - romance - the main characters being separated to some extent by the fantastical element 

*Tenki no ko* also known as *Weathering with you* is an movie like *Your Name* (Kimi no na wa) It has the same like theme, and it has an interesting story, it also revolves around the story of *Your Name* you will find it yourself in the movie. 

It's also a Shinkai film but in my opinion, Kimi no Na Wa surpasses Tenki no Ko by a lot.  

I personally cannot help but be reminded of the other movie when thinking about one of them. Perhaps it has something to do with both films releasing within the same season and me watching both of them within the same week. Anyhow, if you're into the bittersweet genre and crave romance that involves profoundly heart-wrenching moments, then both of these (+/- 2-hours) anime films are worth seeing! 

After watching Kimi no Na Wa, I proceed to watch Koe no Katachi. I was like "Wow. They're actually somewhat similar in comparison.". Heartwarming, yet subtle, focusing on our main hero and heroine. One about deafness and other switching bodies. I think its "trouble communicating others with a disadvantage and you really have to know a person to understand their struggles" sort of thing. 

Not similar in the sense of storyline, but a sort of similar style. Both deeply moving. Both involve two main characters and their journeys of understanding themselves and those around them. 

Both movies are about a tragic love story. Other people besides the main 2 characters the romance centers around, are needed to help bring about the happy ending. They both have high quality animation and art. I personally prefer Your Name( Kimi no na wa) a lot more and give it a 9/10, but Koe no Katachi is still a good movie and earns a 7/10. 

Both are simply the best movie of their particular years. Both are Oscar worthy. Both share the main theme of high school romance. Kimi no Nawa is more fantasy-like while Koe no Katachi is more grounded in reality.  

Both character is interest.So,girl difference of school or city or village the characters in pairs are different from the other anime.Whereas the voice of language is so polite and well mannered backsound a the soundtrack tt's just the soundtrack manage also very interesting though very remarkable.But that,the emotion of sadness, loneliness, separation, different and so on 

Both will make you shed tears out of your ass. 

If you liked Kimi no Na wa, the chances are you will enjoy Koe no Katachi, another emotion provoking and engaging film. 

Drama and lots of feels, definitely for you if you like tear-jerking anime movie. 

If you're looking for another movie with jaw-dropping animation, this is the one. Both also deal with similar themes of miscommunication.  

every goods at the question slice of life! ( inclused i like every the "romance" of koe no katachi, missed the kiss ;3 + 0k ) 

both movies are beautiful just watch for your self i cant explain !!! 

-Both are masterpieces. -Both leaves you wanting more after watching it. -Both makes you want to re-watch it many times. -Both have excellent OSTs. -Both have touching stories.  

both are very beautiful films with great art styles, they get emotional in a similar way 

They're both incredibly well written and stylized movies that will leave you wanting more. They both have very lovable main characters and such well conveyed emotions that you're left feeling a sense of dread that your life will never be as heart-wrenching as these movies. The love stories they tell are beautiful, hauntingly so, and so perfect overall. I quite enjoyed both movies 

They are both movies on touching yet complex relationships and youth. Both center on the interactions of two main characters and how their ideas and morals evolve over time. Both have a twist towards the end that shocks viewers but resolves the major issues in the end. 

These two are similar because they both express a relationship between a boy and a girl that isn't explicitly romantic, but still portray love and support that is really sweet and sad at times. The animation is similar in the sense they are both very high quality. 

They're both beautiful stories with much to offer. Two of my favourite movies of all time for sure! Emotional and tear jerking, I would recommend to everyone of all ages. 

Although the themes of both are widely different they both touch the audience's heart. Your Name and A Silent Voice, both are a romance anime with great art style and story. While Your Name focus has a more lighter and supernatural theme, which tells the story of a young boy and a girl who tries to get used to their new "body-swap" way of living, until things take a turn later on. On the other hand, A Silent Voice tells the story of a young deaf girl and a boy who had been a bully in his younger age. They both are full of heart touching and heart-wrenching moments, which might even make you shed your tears but also equally full of heartwarming moments. If you liked Kimi No Na Wa, then there's a pretty high chance you will like Koe no Katachi too~  

Similarities: -Both anime involves a high school life. -Both anime can make you cry. -Both anime's main protagonists may/may have feelings with each other. Differences: -Kimi no Na wa is somewhat supernatural, in a way that their souls is being switched to one another while Koe no Katachi they are not. -Kimi no Na wa's main protagonists are very separate and far from each other, only their connection and communication with each other is writing something while in Koe no Katachi, the main protagonists are nearby and somewhat close. -Koe no Katachi features the plot about bullying and redemption, guilt and repentance of the MC's actions in their childhood while in Kimi no Na wa it doesn't have the same plot as what is happening on Koe no Katachi. -Kimi no Na wa is all about meeting each other and finding themselves while in Koe no Katachi is all about forgiveness and bringing back the brighter connections between the main protagonists.  

Taking school life settings Have impossible love story Awesome graphic art syle 

If you enjoy romance stories with compelling character development that will tug at your heartstrings, great choices are Kimi no Na wa and Koe no Katachi. Both films offer poignant narratives that delve into deep emotions, exploring themes of connection, growth, and personal redemption. 

They're both movies that manage to touch the audience's feeling in a very beautiful manner 

Basically its love story too, in both movies there is kinda barrier between the two main characters that are supposed to fall in love with each other, but even tho they have to manage to overcome a lot of problems to be together and happy , they can do it. The animation style is similar too in my opinion and its really good artwork. 

Both movies happen in a school setting, and have amazing stories and visuals. Unlike kimi no na wa, there is no supernatural stuff happening, but overall the characters and story itself are better.  

Similar story structure, except for the supernatural element. Purely from opinion here, but even though the story structure of Kimi no Na wa isn't as solid as Koe no Katachi, it is able to convey something that you can relate more to and easily understand, in comparison to the many hidden meanings and social problems presented in Koe no Katachi. 

A beautiful story of two teens coming of age and facing the difficulties of life. 

Oh well. All I can say is they are a masterpieces for anime drama. Altough they have very different in visuals, the development of their circumstance are same especially in romance and daily life. That's how I feel. I highly recommend you because they can make you comfortable in the last part. 

Both movies are set in a school setting, and both movies have intense emotional moments. 

Both are beautifully made Anime Movies that tug on the heart strings.  

it both has an amazing story with both deeper meanings and amazing storytelling . if you wanna sit down and be fucking invested into and movie and cry like a little bitch watch these two movies as honestly silent voice is the best anime movie i have ever watched  

these two are like cursed to each other. Both came out at about the same time, both are emotional drama romances with high schoolers about to enter adulthood, and their both two of the most debated anime on which is better I've ever seen (your names better btw) 

I want to recommend you two anime films at once - Koe no katachi & Kimi no na wa. They are different, but these two films are simply masterpieces, both are simply the best films of their time! Both are very touching, interesting to watch, I really liked these two films, I love them! I liked Koe no katachi more, because Koe no katachi is more based on reality, and kimi no na wa is more about fantasy, that's my taste :) Nevertheless, these two films are simply masterpieces, they are definitely worth watching, I am sure you will love them very much! Recommend, good luck: D 

These are both very popular movies with a heartwarming story of love.  

I 100% Recommend this if your in to a emotional, romance, and adventure/journey kinda movie.  

Although these don't share a similar plot, they're both beautifully done love stories that go hand in hand with the development of the two main characters growing close. 

Just a great movie. If you like one you will like the other. 

if you enjoyed Koe no Katachi, you should definitely watch Kimi no Na wa. the reason why is because they both have a unique plot, relatable characters, some sad but also heartwarming scenes as well.  

Similarities: High school setting Both shows are in the romance genre Beautiful artwork Emotional 

These were the first anime movies which I watched (not casually). But yeah I think they both are amazing and pretty similar. Btw I cried watching both of them. 

Both follow a tragic mild romance between two characters, and both are sure to make you cry. Both anime's have unexpected twists within them, and are both beautifully put together.  

Great movies and they both have unique stories. I recommend to watch at least one of these. 

Both the movies share the theme of high school romance. They are not similar in the storyline, but are similar in the art style  

"A Silent Voice" and "Your Name" are beautiful, emotional animated films with incredible stories. Be prepared to laugh and to cry all over again if you've seen one and want to watch the other! While the stories are quite different from each other, the main factors that make each film great are common between the two. They each tell great stories, deliver powerful messages and emphasize the importance of communication (albeit in very different ways).  

-Best seller movies -Main character are high school students -Good endings -Great story line 

Both are a great romance movies you should have seen. 

Both are one of the movies that I really like so give it a try 

Both movies tell us the stories of two protagonists in each one, and first we must say that they are romance movies which are the best you can find in the romance genre, and as I said, the similarity of these movies which have an incredible animation each movie and a wonderful story, if you feel lonely watch these movies so you will feel more alone :) , and if it was a bad description but I just have to say that you have to see them yes or yes 

They both revolve around a main character who is bored and has had enough of their mundane life, when they meet people who change them. I highly recommend both of these anime to beginners as they are short movies and are easy to watch as new anime watchers may have difficulty watching a longer series.  

They both have strong messages in them, released in the same year. Both are great watches! They have heavy romance themes in it as well. A little comedy drizzled in Silent Voice. Silent Voice and YOur Name are sad as well. Your Name has AMAZING animation and music while Silent Voice makes u feel for it more.  

Same body-swapping thing between both protagonists. Both series are worth watching 

Both shows deal with body swapping and romance. Dont want to get into to much detail but both are a definite watch. 

Both have body swapping, highschool setting with highschoolers as mc. Kokoro Connect has a wider cast and deals with the swapping theme better 

Both have Body swapping concept that caused by some supernatural events, and great drama between high school students.. both are worth to watch and have charming love story ^^ 

Bodies are exchanged, feelings are exchanged. The emotions that did not know that they were there reveal themselves, connecting their souls to find what they have wanted for a long time. Two romantic comedy works with their characters, which seek meaning in their lives. In a supernatural way they show the beauty of not keeping to themselves what they want and not forgetting the most essential, which gives meaning to everything. 

Like others said, both anime deals with body swap, romance, as well as a supernatural aspect. Very emotional as well. Both are worth your time! 

Both shows have the same concept of body swapping between the characters  

Body swapping? Check. Romance? Check. Humor? Ya bet! While Kokoro Connect tends to be a little heavier on the drama side, both shows use body-swapping as a key plot device that is used in a light-hearted and humorous way. If you have spare time, be sure to check out both! 

Both shows have body swapping as a main part of the story and use it to provide a deeper understanding between the characters. Both shows also have an aspect of drama as well as romance.  

Kokoro Connect and Kimi no Na Wa. both features body swapping. It's not just that. They're both really deep and touches your heart. If you watch Kimi no Na Wa. after watching Kokoro Conenct, you will feel all the emotion and epicness. You'll feel the wideness and the beauty of the world as it is, and you will definitely be touched. If you watch it the otherway around, you'll realize Kokoro Connect handles all the emotion and problem inside one ground, which is school. Problems are dealt, mistakes are made, and you just have to sympathize for them. Kokoro Connect and Kimi no Na Wa are both equally good to watch, but I recommend watching Kokoro Connect first, because while Kimi no Na Wa. handles things large far away, twisting and turning time, Kokoro Connect handles things simply in ordinary life..  

The characters in both animes swap bodies, causing roller coasters of unexpected emotions and experiences which help the characters bond and become closer than they already are. I really recommend watching Kokoro Connect because it is an outstanding creation, with the best character development I've ever seen. 

Both are body swapping and both have romance and deal mostly with high schoolers 

Although one is a movie, and the other is a T.V. show, both of these are similar. Each anime has a little bit of something different, like the shooting star in Kimi no Na wa and the body switching in Kokoro Connect. They are both very enjoyable, and each has some romance. 

Body swapping in both, both deal with young school kids dealing with problems that LITERALLY are not there if you catch my drift. Both are amazing but Kokoro connect also has a large Romantic side to it as well, as it is 1 season with a movie whereas Kimi no Na Wa is just a movie. (A REALLY GOOD MOVIE THOUGH) 

I reckon 'Your Name' had a good strong premise with the body-swapping scenario to critically evaluate what it means to 'walk in another's footsteps'. Unfortunately the film quickly diverts from that to focus on a time-travelling scenario, which isn't where its strength is in my opinion. A show that better deals with deconstructing the perspectives of others is Kokoro Connect, using not just body swapping but other methods that betray an individual's projected persona. 

Both are about characters switching bodies, and are funny and are under the genre romance. In Kimi no Na Wa, it's only 2 people. In Kokoro Connect 5 people are involved. :P 

Same concept by body swapping Both heartwarming shows 

Body swapping and weird phenomenons which both contain romance 

It is similar because in the two works something supernatural happens, and there is romance in both animes. 

Body switching. Good story. We can see both characters' relationships in life. Romance is also there. 

-Both the movie and the series revolve around the body-switching of the main cast of characters, resulting in both problems and humour. -Both the movie and the series are mainly driven by romance, whilst also showing some love for comedy and slice of life. 

Both shows involve romance and body swapping dealing with the supernatural. Kokoro Connect imo goes more into character development vs Kimi no Na wa, but Kimi no Na wa artwork and overall beauty is way better than Kokoro Connect. Both shows are worth a watch. 

Both have exchange body scene Taking school plot. 

They have the same expect that Kokoro connect have more than only switching bodies, personally I prefer Kokoro connect more than your name. Kokoro connect is easily one of the top three.  

Both story have romance and body swapping concept, which will build up their friendships and relationships. 

Both include body swapping with a deeper purpose. They are about growth and personal change with supernatural elements and a touch of romance. 

Almost the same concept...its so similar you would actually start blaming the writer for copying the idea 

Same concept with switching bodies but more supernatural stuff in the story but guess what, ROMANCE. 

You'll know it when you watch it! 

Kimi no Na wa, your name, is simply put the better version of Byousoku 5 Centimeter. Both anime deal with the same themes and similar story ideas, only in my opinion your name handles them in a more interesting and original manner. The art style, animation and music are fantastic all around in both anime and are very similar too. 

Both made by the same director I personally felt a bit unsatisfied with both endings of them, but overall they're pretty nice movies 

*animation style is similar *boy and girl that met in their teenage years,seeing eachother again in their adulthood 

Both are romance, and both have emotional drama. Although Kimi no Na wa is better, Byousoku 5 Centimeter is still worth watching. 

Same director, similar animation, similar character interactions, similar situations, similar themes 

Both are bittersweet romance films from director Makoto Shinkai with amazing aesthetics, that carry themes of separation and heartbreak. Kimi no Na wa differs with supernatural elements while Byousoku 5 Centimeter focus more on the relationships between characters. If your a fan of Makoto Shinkai or romance films you'll be sure to like these works. 

- Same time of concept of romance across some distance, whether it be physical, emotional, or other ways. - Same director and similar drama, although some part my greatly differ. 

Both directed by Shinkai Makoto, represents strong resemblance of a heartwarming story of how the main characters seek for a particular someone, a goal and a destination driven by their passion. Its also beautifully animated CoMix Wave films. Highly recommended! 

Two stories about two people destined to be together but they have to sweat for it through real life struggles. 

This anime movie shares similarities. they are in its exploration of distance and separation, as well as the power of memories and emotions. The stunning visuals and beautiful soundtrack are also reminiscent of "Byousoku 5 Centimeter". Overall, "Kimi no Na Wa" is a touching and unforgettable love story that will leave a lasting impression on viewers. 

a girl and a boy try to meet for the whole movie and it's emotional. 

Both carry massive amounts heavy emotions through stunningly beautiful animation.  

"5 cm per second. The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall." It looks like Makoto Shinkai has directed another little minimalist masterpiece. Bearing a distant resemblance to underground coming-of-age classics such as Kimi no Na wa, 5 cm interweaves three short stories seen from the viewpoints of different characters. Each story revolves around a specific time period in the protagonist's life: his last days at primary school, graduating from high school, his early life as an adult. 

You liked Your name? Then you have got to check out 5 centimeters per second! Beautiful, sad and irresistably melancholic, it's a classic that needs to be seen. P.S: DON'T WATCH IF YOU'RE IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP! 

If you cried in Kimi no Na wa and are looking to again, look no further than Byousoku 5 Centimeter. Both are directed by Makoto Shinkai, with 5 Centimeter as their first breakout movie. It is the spiritual predecessor to Your Name, addressing the similar themes of separation and searching. The bittersweet feels in each are second to none, and I highly encourage exploring all of the films of this world-class director.  

Byousoku 5 Centimeter is a very similar movie to Kimi no Na wa, being wrote by the same person. It follows the same style of romance story as Kimi no Na wa, but without the body swapping. If you liked Kimi no Na wa you will most likely like this movie too. 

these movies have similar concepts 

Similarities: Both are created by the one and only director Makoto Shinkai Both have stunning art style and a great plot High school setting Boy and girl meet at a similar age Emotional scenes 

Both directed by the brilliant mind of director Makoto Shinkai, Kimi No Na Wa and Byousoku 5 Centimeter share a lot of similarities. For some odd reason, both films feature beautiful space scenes with comets. Both films are about star-crossed lovers wanting to meet each other. The main characters have a strong bond, even when they live far away from each other. The endings of both films are beautiful. I definitely recommend Byousoku 5 Centimeter if you love Kimi No Na Wa  

Characters make the most of strange phenomenon to prevent tragedy, funny interactions and heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. ensue, all to backdrops of beautifully animated scenery. 

Both movies have plot developments that are similar to each other in its sci-fi/mystical elements, to which I will not say more about in fear of spoiling the story. Due to the nature of short length of the movie, both works chose to focus more on the atmosphere and characters rather than making a seamless story.  

Kimi no Na wa and Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo are both beautifully animated films, with lovable characters, interesting and fun stories, and both are thoroughly enjoyable. Both deal with themes of time and have sci-fi undertones, but are heavily centered around day-to-day life, youth, and of course, romance. Tears will be shed, laughter will be heard, and smiles will be seen during the course of watching both of these films, so please, if you have a spare couple of hours, I definitely recommend you to watch both of these films.  

Won't say much in fear of spoiling either story so all you need to know is that they are quite similar, sweet yet funny romantic films that will tug on your heart strings and leave you contemplating life for months after you watch them. Enjoy watching them for you'll never be able to watch them for the first time again. 

Characters gain supernatural powers and struggle to use it's capabilities to achieve a greater good. The structure and pacing of both stories are very similar, but The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is not a romance, it is a coming of age story. 

Very similiar themes and romantic stories. Both movies evoke similiar feelings and have similiar characters. While watching Your Name I felt like watching a sequel to A Girl Who Leapt Through Time 

Has a similar feeling of at first having a comedic, slice of life type tone with a wacky supernatural power changing the lives of our protagonists as they make use of it and adjust, but then later develops a sadder and more desperate tone. There is a beautiful but bittersweet romance, and a similar twist that occur in the later part of both movie. The directing style feels a bit similar too. 

Both films feature protagonists who must deal with a supernatural phenomenon occurring in their lives, and ultimately discover who they love. Character design, visuals, and setting are very similar. 

Slice Of Life. Really gives you the feels 

There are some time travels in both movies, but also there are funny interactions and heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. Both movies evoke similiar feelings and have similiar characters. 

Both are about time paradox/time leap (going back in time) 

Both movies have similar characters, and both mc deal with supernatural events.  

The power of beyond. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Your Name both follow regular students having their lives changed forever with this new ability that had suddenly fallen upon them. TokiKake has Makoto gain time travel powers, Your Name follows Mitsuha and Taki's odd connection via body switches. Both are great movies with a colourful atmosphere being shown off, also sharing the same genre of romance too. 

Both have themes regarding changing an event through the use of a form of time travel. Main difference is that in The Girl who Leapt Through Time, she can control when she jumps through time whereas Your Name is completely on a set time frame for when they switch bodies. Your Name has better visuals but The Girl who Leapt Through Time is worthwhile to watch. 

Both animes are about time skip or something like that, they have funny moments, tense momets and sad moments. The vibe is similar. 

very beatiful music, amazing backgrounds and animation, same theme and atmosphere, shocking plot-twists, romance  

Very similar in terms of tone and style. They both involve the MC gaining some kind of supernatural power, which affects how they view relationships, especially who they love. There's a bit of romance, and a bit of sadness, but nothing too intense. At the end, you might be left with a certain longing. If you watch both, you'll notice other similarities, which I won't spoil here. 

Both of these movies are great love stories with plot twists and moments to make you cry. Although the plots are a bit different and the conflicts are different, I believe that if you like one of these movies you'd like the other. Both have very beautiful visuals and the songs/ost are very similar. 

its a more defined version of your name , its not a too typical of a romance movie and its special in its own way . 

- similar vibes - both have good animation and styles of animation are kinda similar - similar feels - both include romance -both have good music! (actually quite similar music at some points) - similar plot turning elements in both  

I'm kind of surprised that people don't usually relate these two. They both have very similar art styles and soundtrack at first. They also both explore a cute adorable romance with an InTeReStInG twist (although the way they handle things from that point on is very different). Pancreas Movie is a bit more edgy, but not too much. They are very different experiences but have enough similarities that if you enjoyed the masterpiece that is Your Name, you will likely enjoy the almost-masterpiece that is Pancreas Movie. 

A story that is just as beautiful and even more compelling characters. If you watched Kimi no Na wa, and it was something you enjoyed, then Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai is the perfect movie to follow up. Drama, romance, a beautiful soundtrack, plot twists, it's all here waiting for you. 

these are both anime movies with stunning visuals, and well written stories. if u havent watched any of these yet i do u hope u watch these movies because they are great. 

Similarities: Both animes have a stunning art style Lost of romance involved with the story Great music, plot and story line 

Although the animation is far superior in "Your Name," "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" creates an amazing story about two individuals who learn from each other and grow together. The latter has more of a romantic approach, however, "love" simply cannot describe the relationship between our two main characters. Both are great and truly worth the watch! (Also the first anime that ever made me cry as I'm not the most emotional person)  

Both are great romance movies that are very emotional and can leave you feeling heartbroken. 

The main characters of both anime are people who are bored of their regular high school life but they meet people who change them completely. Both are movies which are good for new anime watchers who have difficulty watching longer shows.  

gorgeous art, awesome character dynamics, and emotional as fuck plots all things both of these movies share 

Both are very engaging romance movies. The ending of both the movies are marvelous  

Both the stories revolve around a comet and have a bit of a romance in it. The story also progresses in a really similar way. 

-It all started with a comet -Hint of romance -Both are about a boy and a girl -Alike story progression -Both are drama/school Also, in Kimi no Na wa, the two people switch bodies, on the other hand in Charlotte, Yuu could possess ones body.  

Both are very dramatic and has a bit of fantasy and sci fi. Both also very calm and soothing to watch. Both anime are telling about people who got 'abilities' like switching places (kimi no na wa) and other powers (charlotte). Both anime involves comet. In kimi no na wa, the comet is something that become the trigger of the whole story. In charlotte, the comet named charlotte is the one that gives abilities to teenagers which is the main of the story. 

Both animations have a comet as the origin of their story's conflict. Both animations deal with adolescent life. Both animations deal with the main characters' development as a person. Both have Sci-Fi (in this case Time Travel) elements that is used as the solution to the protagonists' problems. Both are intense love stories beyond its supernatural atmosphere. 

Both have a theme of stars and leaves amazing feeling inside of you 

Same time aspect, except in a move. Kimi no Na wa has greater focus on the love aspect and it isn't as humorous but still exceptional.  

both focus on polar opposite characters and also have a comet as a plot device as well too. 

Charlotte and Your Name are both anime about high schoolers getting some kind of supernatural ability, and there seem to be a bond formed between the main characters as the story goes on, despite their harsh first impressions. There is also a comet, and both anime feel like they are pumped with a lot of elements that kinda make them feel more like complete packages. 

A pair starting from low, ending at a high. Your Name and Charlotte are both very different anime, though, they hold the similarity of a male and female pair and their time to grow together. Charlotte has Yuu and Nao who have to work together to help others, with Your Name having Mitsuha and Taki and their abnormal body swaps, leading them to search for one another. Both are good supernatural slow romance anime dealing with students. 

Similarities: High school setting Supernatural occurrences and powers Both occurrences are caused by a comet Similar Victims The plot gets deeper and deeper where when you get to the last minutes of the show. You might not even remember what happened at the beginning 

Both are tear-jerkers and can literally get the best of your eyes. Both have great plot especially in the league of drama. Although Kimi no Na wa has more humorous content on the beginning, both will stab your heart and pierce through your mind with it's tear-jerking story and ending.  

Both great movies with amazing animation and landscapes! With great characters, I really enjoyed both, especially Your name. "Your name." the movie is a bit more adventure and fantasy-based rather than a slice of life whereas the garden of words was more like a slice of life romance, both very enjoyable. Both romances were great stories in my opinion.  

- Both are made by the same director - Both have amazing jaw dropping animation - Both have the same vibe and feel while watching - Both have great music 

These two films are by the same director, and feature a specific style of artwork and cinematography that is recognizable in all of his works. Their narratives involve a set of protagonists whose love for each other is challenged by the distance between them. 

Two Shinkai movies, while Kotonoha no Niwa is more realistic, Kimi no Na wa is more entertaining. Both give you the Shinkai-feeling. 

if you like "Yukari Yukino (雪野 百香里)" it'll also appear on "Kimi no Na wa. (君の名は。)" because they are same Studios, and their story are both written by Makoto Shinkai that has strong romance and drama in their story, their also had same sound director and sad music. Summary: - Same Studios - Same Universe - Same Genre - Same Type - Same Writer 

They both have beautiful and calming animation. I'm pretty sure that the teacher in Kotonoha no Niwa was in Kimi no Na wa teaching.  

Both are very emotional and very enjoyable to watch.Both will carries your feeling to whether it's going up or maybe going down, Kinda like a roller coaster.In the end both are really great movies and highly recommend to watch. :) 

Similarities: Same studios Similar art work Same director Both are romance genre 

They both have same vibe, and the artstyle is so amazing. If you liked your name you will love this one too. 

- The most obvious similarity: they were both directed by Shinkai Makoto, and both have their supernatural elements done CORRECTLY (we won’t talk about the 2019 trash fire). - They’re both likely to make you cry. - They both involve romance, although Kimi no Na wa focuses more heavily on it, while Suzume no Tojimari is more of a coming of age story. - They both have gorgeous visuals and beautiful soundtracks. 

Both Suzume and Your name have both AMAZING storylines, plots, and animation. Both wonderful movies.  

- same director: Makoto Shinkai - aesthetically pleasing artwork with gorgeous landscapes - fantastical elements that have some tie to nature that are rooted in mythology - romance - the main characters being separated to some extent by the fantastical element 

Both of them are directed by Makoto Shinkai and have supernatural events. Also the music is from the same group and the animation is equally beautiful. 

same art style , same characterizations , both show are good enough in music and voice actors done their job well again in this anime we have some time traveling style things like "your name" (but your name is much better in that) they both will follow same storytelling type it will be familiar while you watching it could be good(for those who are new with this director) and annoying(for those who watch other shows from this director) In total, if you likes one of them you may like the other too 

both made by Makoto Shinkai they have beautiful stories,the animation is amazing, and the soundtrack is beautiful  

Kimi no na wa in English known as Your Name is an similar movie like suzume. You will feel the same theme in both the movies. It has an epic story. Give it a try! 

Fabulous OST first of all, but these are deserving of their high ratings. Both have a story that is very strong and interesting to follow, and by rewatching these you can see new things that you hadn't the first time. Both story's are incredibly well told with twists and turns, but the entire thing is covered in foreshadowing. Along with beautiful art style, I am really glad that they both receive credit for all of the amazing attributes of these anime 

Premise wise and all, not similar at all. They feature personal connections and love as driving plot points in common, but that would be about it. What you're looking to watch Kimi no Na wa for after this is for that same GUT WRENCHING, POWERFUL, feels moment. In everything I've watched (which to some salted veterans of this site is very little but I digress) nothing has hit that emotional roller coaster ride quite like these two experiences. Don't do them back to back. You won't cope. 

although the story is completey different, but the way they apply the realistic feeling of human are the same and u could feel how the character was feeling. And also after finishing kimi no na wa/ shigatsuwa kimi no uso, will have the same feeling, the emotions keep roling in your head and heart.  

Both have amazing music and animation. Both of these anime are quite sad and might make you cry. 

Are you longing for the bittersweet, sad feeling you got from Kimi no Na wa? Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is a marathon of sadness compared to Kimi no Na wa's more perfectly tuned length. Their plots are quite different, but both are set around teenagers and their personal relationships. As a emotional fix, this is the perfect followup to Kimi no Na wa. 

Both Your Lie in April and Your Name have "your" in the title. Both of these titles follow mainly a male protagonist with a female supporting. These titles are easily able to pull tears out of you and keep you intrigued the entire way through. 

Heart touching romances and thrillers will surely please u.....and at the end,,,u will be lost in an abyss.... 

Both anime have protagonists who start off "broken" but throughout the course of the anime, find friends who help them become a better version of themselves. 

Body switch and memory alteration romance shenanigans. 

Though the situation is different for both anime, both contain similar vibes that allows me to make a recommendation. Embracing the moment to make the present worthwhile, in a desperate attempt to not forget. This is perhaps the most spoiler free thing I can say regarding these two anime. If you have watched one, you will most definitely enjoy the other. (Tip for maximum feels: Watch s1 of ReLIFE)  

Even though the story aren't similar, both anime share some things in common (even to the smallest details) that will blow your mind. 

Both of them deal with remembering the name of your soul mate that you forgot, one with ReLife program, the other with the main character which is in a state of oblivion about the name of the girl he love. There is also a lot more of similitudes between these 2 animes but I can't say more because it would be spoiler for both so I will stop there. 

The feeling of losing something. Something that you can't quite recall, but you know that it's somewhere out there. Something, or someone... both of these anime capture that emotion in a similar fashion, and if you want to continue the feels train, I would suggest watching this too. 

- Both are composed of slice of life genre, with high school setting - Both are spiced up with a bit of romcom - Both has a beautiful and perfect ending that leaves you crave for more - Both touched on memories and regret, and how painful it can be to be forgotten of to be one that forgets, that tingly feeling that always linger around They both are composed of almost the same storyline and the ending is truly satisfying. 

These guys flying to and from breaking rules of the universe. Quite a ton of physical similarities between the two, which I won't get into due to spoilers on both sides. This works more like a ReLIFE --> Your Name recommendation, but go watch ReLIFE if you have seen Your Name. Both are alright. 

It just is,I can't say anything without giving away a spoiler. RElife has a series before the special. 

While also similar to the main Steins;Gate series, Kimi no Na wa and the Steins;Gate film are even more similar in that they carry many of the same compelling thematic elements. They both tackle the core theme of longing, longing for something or someone but not being quite sure of what it is or why you'd want it. They both also deal with the loss of important memories and how that can affect people who don't appear to have similar experiences. At the heart of each film is a journey, one that demands the protagonist's resolve until they figure out what – or who – is making them feel so empty and unfulfilled.  

Both films deal with themes relating to love and death in the face of extreme challenges, time, and memory. However, Kimi no Na wa is far better executed than the Steins;Gate movie. 

Time travel elements and also have similar "forgetting names due to timelines" kind of stuff. Just go watch it and you'll get it. It's a definitely must-watch if you have already watched Steins;Gate. 

Both films feature protagonists who, as lovers, are affected by the time and distance that separates them, and must overcome these challenges to be with each other again. 

If you're coming from Kimi no Na wa, watch the original Stein;Gate series first! While watching the Steins;Gate Movie, I couldn't help but notice the striking parallels between it, and the ending of Kimi no Na wa. Kimi no Na wa captures the best parts of the relationship between Okabe and Krisu and twists it into a fresh and exciting movie set in our down-to-earth present day. Both movies are definitely worth the emotional payoff, and will leave you thinking for a long time.  

Time travel elements and also have similar "forgetting names due to timelines" kind of stuff. 

I Love those both ost,it will ringing back after you watched this.masterpiece story,graphics,and more! 

Magic. Your Name and Josee Tiger Fish follow people in this awkward relationship of a messy start to get to know one another, into this magical adventure of going forward to pursue what means most to you in your life. Josee Tiger Fish follows the description in a relatively conventional way, with dreams of Tsueno being pursued via working hard work, which in turn creates his one-in-a-lifetime relationship with Josee. Your Name is the same thing, but a little different, with a weird first interaction between Mitsuha and Taki, but the pursuing part is not for an object, but for a person, with the two using any means to meet each other, even if it means travelling the country. Both movies are fantastic in what they sell, using nothing but feels for those who love movies as such, I'd recommend these for a good romance story with a little bit of magic that the two like to shower their atmosphere with ;)   

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. 

Beautiful audiovisuals on all levels. Story is about a young adult/teenage romance that relies on feels. Neither are particularly subtle. 

There are both sweet roamance, if you liked one you'll surely like the other 

Josee, the lion, and the fish also has beautiful environmental renditions and an emotionally charged story which connects two people. 

Beautiful art. Like Shinkai's works, Violet Evergarden also has hyper-realistic animation, beautiful attention to detail, and the lighting is just gorgeous. Although their plots and views are different, they share the same emotional, tear-jerking, yet heartwarming style of storytelling that leaves the viewer satisfied yet yearning for more. 

If you're looking for great backgrounds, a nice soundtrack, fantastic animation and a moving story, this is your way to go. While Violet Evergarden and Kimi no Na wa. have rather different scenarios, they're equally well made, and definitely are two anime you will remember. 

Beautiful visuals and music 

Wholesome Romance Drama 

Both are so visually stunning and both main female protagonists are filled with so much emotions when they say words with meaning and it can make you cry 

Anime ini sangat saya rekomendasikan buat kalian yang suka dengan anime yang bergenre romance atau juga yang suka dengan anime yang membuat kita sedikit berfikir untuk bisa memahami jalan ceritanya. OK.. Mungkin itu saja yang dapat saya rekomendasikan buat kalian kali ini.. #Salam_Agent_Esa I highly recommend this anime for you who like the anime genre of romance or also those who like the anime that makes us a bit of thinking to understand the story. OK .. Maybe it's just that I can recommend for you this time .. #Salam_Agent_Esa  

Both are about a supernatural love story and have incredibly well animated scenes and beautiful music.  

Angel Beats! and Kimi no Na wa share characteristics that are qualities in both works: plot with a tone of mystery, but a little comical and dramatic in the ideal measure to keep the narrative focus, along with a soundtrack that conveys the past feelings of the characters for those who are watching and ending with the light atmosphere of a supernatural theme. 

both have a deep relation of two main, character. The character development, story, and most aspect are just great. 

Both has mind-blowing story full with twists and turns, comedy, and also tear-jerking. And both end with bittersweet feeling that makes you want more.  

This a romantic story where the characters switch bodies and there is time travel. It is an excellent movie. You will never forget! 

Both are time travel anime with elements of romance that transcend time. 

Steins;Gate is a 24 episode series while Kimi no Na wa is a movie, and so the common plot point of time travel is fleshed out a lot more in Steins;Gate. However, it is the relationships between the main characters across both titles that create the strong emotions that keep people coming back to these two titles.  

Easily two of the most heartfelt stories to be released in the past decade. With honest characterization and light fantasy/sci-fi elements, these stories are able to tell extremely deep, memorable, and emotional experiences that few other films can rival.  

Maybe time can separate people. Maybe backgrounds can separate people. For a few that is the case. For Your Name and Wolf Children, that is not the case. Even with the differences in where people come from, or the literal boundaries time has on us. Both stories go to show that even these circumstances can be defeated. Your Name is the odd relationship of Mitsuha and Taki as they go through inescapable body switches, and how that draws them together. Wolf Children is about Hana’s relationship with the anomalies of literal Wolf Children. Both are great movies with amazing visuals, and elements of supernatural in both of them   

Stunning in visuals, story line and overall production value, if you enjoyed Your Name, you'll love Wolf Children. Each film tells a beautiful story, with great aesthetic and design value along with it.  

When you like another really good Anime Movie then watch Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, it´s about Family and the everyday problems of raising Werwolf kids as an Human Mother. 

Meeting someone in a bizarre fashion who ends up impacting your life in a big way 

!First Recommendation! I realized ReLIFE had similar feels with Kimi no Na wa. on the latter part of the series (including the OVA). If you're feeling empty after watching Kimi no Na wa., i recommend watching ReLIFE next! It's like ReLIFE somehow filled part of the void that Kimi no Na wa. left. 

It is also a romcom where the lovers forget each other because of certain reasons [I'm not going to spoil it].  

uh basically relife did your name but better. they both end with two people trying to remember each other's name (if thats considererd a spoiler im very sorry). i really enjoyed watching both, so i recommend watching them 

These films showcase the development of a friendship and partnership between two teenagers in various dystopian worlds, with circumstances forcing both protagonists to empathise with one another through 'stepping into each others shoes'. Both make the viewer question life and try to find the meaning behind the plot, providing a throughly entertaining watch. 

Both bring a whole different perspective of the world (surprise the viewer), and are about an apparently impossible relationship. 

An intense complicated love story ! Make me cry :P Your Name was my favorite anime movie before I watch this masterpiece :P 

- Both have absolutely incredible visuals. - Both centre around supernatural phenomena and watching as the characters attempt to deal with their consequences. - Both have romantic plot lines between a boy and a girl who start off hating one another before growing closer during their adventures. - Let’s be honest, both will probably make you cry. 

The piece about "going back in time" and trying to save someone really reminds me of Orange. There is a similarity in the feeling of hoping that things will turn out the way you wished and the tuck in the heart while you wait for the ending. 

same vibes, somewhat similar when it comes to including the whole concept of time, both made me cry 

Both are super emotional and you get to get attached to the characters. if you like to have a good cry when watching an anime, I would recommend orange ///// TW: suicide!  

Well...both have Romance as their driving plot and timetravel as sub plot so yeah.. 

Both stories have a male protagonist wanting to change the present using time travel and modifying the past. Both have several emotional scenes that connect with the viewer, trapping mostly people with similar experiences. Both just dig the necessary in the characters, avoiding fillers. Both are enjoyable, play with your feelings and emotions while developing the story but at the end you don't get a deep message or learning. The OP of both share a similar technique and have a hidden purpose (not saying more, find it by yourself) 

For a sentient and sensitive human being. For those who love time travels and/or parallel universes crossing. For those who like real life superheroes. For fools who believe in destiny. 

1. Both animes have to do with time travel. 2. Both protagonists are trying to stop a "bad cause". 3. Both have supernatural causes. 4. Both animes include a bit of romance. 

there are 2 main characters im both of them 2 main characters are also the same and the time give them a chance to meet each other ( and art also beautiful) 

2 students. 2 different lives. Distanced apart. Coming together. Cross Road is basically a 2 min version of Your Name without the superntaural parts. Both directed by Makoto Shinkai. 

In both there are 2 students which are main characters and which lives are completely diffirent - one lives in a big city and one in a small town, but actually, they have a lot in common with each another. Because of the same director (Shinkai Makoto), there are an awesome and music in both. Cross Road just feels like very very shortened and not supernatural version of Kimi no Na wa. 

On the surface, these two might seem like they don't have much in common, but they have a similar core plot that aren't usually in other anime. At first, the Nagi no Asu kara starts very slow as a school slice of life with some fantasy elements, but then something unexpected happens and changes the entire dynamic, putting aside the shoujo parts and focusing on a unique plot to save a group of people. This is very close to how Kimi no Na wa presents its story, it first appears to be a cute story with a strange fantasy twist then the characters find out they were connected for a reason and must save a town from being destroyed. Most likely you watched Kimi no Na wa first, so comparing it to an anime series might be difficult because the animation won't be on the same level, and the story is much slower but I promise that Nagi no Asu kara does pick up the pace. Both have a unique style that encompasses an everyday ordinary life with unbelievable fantasy elements. The actual plot and execution may be different, but both are great stories that share a beautiful style and similar storylines.  

Both feature teenagers exploring the strange interconnections of love amidst supernatural occurrences in a tiny seaside town with strange rituals. Both have drop-dead gorgeous art and are created by some of the most respected storytellers in anime (Shinkai Makoto and Okada Mari). Both make clever use of an overused trope (body swap and timeskip). 

Anime Recommendation Nagi no Asu Kara (凪のあすから) is a 2013 Japanese anime television series produced by P.A. Works. (君の名は。) Kimi no Na wa. is a 2016 Japanese animated romantic fantasy film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, and produced by CoMix Wave Films. 1 - The two animations have sensational, breath-taking and remarkable visuals. 2 - Grand striking plot that is emotionally heart-wrenching and thematically deep leaving behind emotional masochism 3 - A good script which the characters emotions and attitude is suited, voice actor embraces the role as well. 

Both are romance that are set in fictional worlds, although Hello World is a tad bit more complicated. 

Both are movies that focus on romance with a time travel plotline, Kimi no Na wa uses a supernatural element for the time travelling while Hello World goes for a Sci-fi approach. Their stories have several similar elements so if you enjoyed Kimi no Na wa, I'm pretty sure you'll have a good time watching Hello World too. 

- Both have romance involving two teenagers - Both incorporate supernatural elements - Both feature time travel as a plot point - Both have really nice animation 

-Both of these movies involve the use of time-travel, so as to change a certain outcome in the protagonist's relative present -They share the same 'Romance' tag, and rightfully so. All my fellow romance lovers out there will enjoy the levels in both (Do note though, that you'll need to have watched the original TV series for 'AoButa' for the movie to make any sense whatsoever) 

- Similar style. - Almost same genres. - Both movies are very emotional. 

Similar story progression. Remember what made Kimi no Na wa interesting when you watched it. An above-average anime that evolves into a masterpiece, right? Bunny Girl's series was the above-average anime part. This movie, the sequel of Bunny Girl is the masterpiece part. Other than that, things are similar genre-wise. You'll probably think of both in a similar way. 

Both have body swapping story elements in it as well as a downbeat low key feel to the story and the characters working together to figure out why the events that have ouccured happened.  

The feeling was similar in some of the episodes. Both have amazing visuals. 

Both have someone possessing the body of someone else. Both focus on the emotional aspects of the story. The plot of the basketball arc of Shiguang Dailiren shares a lot in common with Kimi no Na wa. 

Both deal with a girl and a boy switching bodies. Both fight to regain memory after loosing it. Although yamadakun is more of a comedy but enjoyable. If you like one then will like the other. 

Both express the theme of forgetting your loved ones. It can be seen the most if you read the manga for Yamada-Kun to 7-nin no Majo where the story is completed.  

both anime are on body exchange 

- Both give similar feelings - Both Gorgeous animation - Both Emotional , Kind bittersweet stories.  

the animatic, the mood, and the way the anime brings us into their world, especially with how the characters are connected by the 'red thread'. 

Even with differences, nothing changes. The stories Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms and Your Name both follow protagonists with different lifestyles and far apart who try and come together understanding one another. Promised Flower is building a family bond between an Iorph and human, whereas Your Name is about a relationship of a city boy and country girl. Both are great visual masterpieces with one made by Makoto Shinkai, the other Mari Okada, someone Shinkai actually acknowledges quite well. 

These two have a similar vibe: similar characters, beautiful animation and romance as the main topic. Tsuki ga kirei could easily have been a movie like "your name", because of its structure. I'd pick kimi no na wa over this series in general terms. 

A very similar vibe to Your Name. A sweet story which focuses on character interactions, and the climax does feel VERY similar. 

If you are looking for anime romance, the conflicts are not too heavy, which can make you peaceful, and happy ending, I suggest you watch Tsuki ga Kirei their love is very, very beautiful 

Similar stories , both of them are kinda based on "Puberty Syndrom" 

After watching episode one of Bunny Girl, the "Adolescence Syndrome" reminded me of Your Name. 

They are pretty different story telling wise but the topics handled in both Animes are pretty similar. They are both dealing with supernatural urban legends of the japanese culture and are build around a romance. Even though bunny girl senpai has more time to explore those legends and the relationship itself, I think if you liked one the other is definitely a worth watch. 

Both has impossible love story Both Makoto shinkai story board spice (he not write the story full) Both have nice graphic. 

Flavors of Youth and Your Name both have this youthful adventure being shown out, whether it be your average school life or the time spent together they both do a decent job at showing this side of a young person's life. Flavors of Youth does this with one of three distinct stories, Your Name is the whole deal of a movie. Both are good anime movies with the same stunning visuals, both made by the studio CoMix Wave Films.  

Flavors of Youth (Shikioriori) was created by the same creators as Your Name. (Kimi no Na wa.), and we feels that. We indeed feel the fervent and warm atmosphere of Your Name., But with a more melancholy touch in Flavors of Youth. Where Your Name. tells a single story, Flavors of Youth tells us three, different from each other, but all rather interesting, you will inevitably have your favorite. These stories may even remind you of something personal, because of their realism. Two very beautiful films! 

Finding and bringing back the one mc loves... also includes lost memory, supernatural, time travel, etc.  

- Both are about disappearance - Both invoke warm feelings - Both are easy-to-watch 

As a romance story, i think its pretty same for me. And the plan to the time leap idea from the story really made this two movie seems so simmilar. I just always remembering all of this two same movie with slightly concept on everyday at my life.  

When love literally transcends the natural. To a point in which it plays a danger, and to a point in which it sparks the human will. Whatever it may be, Golden Time and Your Name play their stories well in what is a long journey to truly reach one another with the barricade in the way. Your Name takes this quite literally in some way I cannot specifically specify due to spoilers, but the gap between Mitsuha and Taki is not just distance-related. Golden Time is a little supernatural with Tada having to fight against his past in his amazing relationship with Koko. Both are good dramas if you are one to not belittle anime for trivial reasons. I'd take Your Name for a blast of a movie compared to Golden Time's attempt at a fully-fledged and embellished story.   

Both works deal with memories and their friends trying to help them. Both were interesting to watch. The overall issues are different, but it's cool to see how they overcome the issue. 

Both are similar in a way and give off a similar vibe - The MC is trying to find a specific person important to them, someone that they feel is missing from their lives. Really compelling stories and beautifully animated movies. 

The Violet Evergarden movie is a stand-alone film while Your Name is a anime series. Both deal with time and space travel as well as regrets in life. In Violet Evergarden, the main character tries to understand the meaning of love after losing someone important to her, while in Your Name, the two protagonists try to prevent a disaster from occurring and must also grapple with their own feelings for one another. While they are different genres, both movies will make you cry buckets, so be prepared with tissues! 

Both of them had intense love. The emotions are so deep... This is the movie I love most after Kimi no Na wa. I think this movie should be given a chance. 

Both of the anime focuses on saving someone who is precious to you....someone whom you don't really know much about. Both of the journey is unique and unusual and both protagonists try their best to accomplish their goal by any means necessary. Both anime has great animations. Though both of them radiates same vibes, Big fish and begonia takes place in a beautiful fantasy world parallel to human world. This is definitely worth a shot imo. 

Chance encounter. search, red string of fate, time-skipping, a character named Tachibana time-skipping, fading memory.... Incidentally takes part of it's plot from the very popular post-war 1953 'Kimi no na wa' movies, which it directly references visually at key points 

Explore the theme of love across space and time, fading memories, many scenes of a girl running, all with great character animation courtesy of Mashashi Ando and many other Production IG/Madhouse/Ghibli animators - which is actually unique (at this level) for Shinkai, where Character Animation is not at the same standard as his backgrounds. As pointed out elsewhere likely have some common origins in the popular 'Kimi no na wa' series of movies from the 1950's where 2 people meet and are then separated by catastrophic events without knowing each others names...these movies are referenced in 'Millennium Actress' both visually and in plot, and obviously via the title and some plot aspects in the Shinkai movie.  

They're both movies with romantic undertones where the leads are basically polar opposites. Both movies also have a unique and beautiful art style, and are very heartwarming. 

They both meet similary and the animation is very pretty :) 

Both slice of life/romance/drama between 2 teenagers. Movie alternates between Kochi (countryside city) and Tokyo and some scenes made me think that Shinkai was inspired by this movie to create your name. Great chill 90's vibez ! Highly recommend. 

Both are movies (yep.) Both are the similar type of romance, a heartwarming and bittersweet romance with a lot of surprises. Both involves a couple who are at lost of each other. Body swapping in Kimi no Na wa & robotic human in Hal. Both females are the similar type and both are dearly connected to the male protagonists. Both involves life, death, time and memories. DIFFERENCE : Hal is more calm oriented than Kimi no Nawa. Hal is also more realistic and possible. Kimi no Nawa is more funny and interesting. Kimi no Nawa is like making the impossible possible while Hal is turning the possible upside down. 

Similarities: Stunning animations and art style 

At first glimpse they may not be that similar, but if you take a further look in you can see that both shows follow some of the same patterns. Dont want to spoil it but please take a look if You're intrested in that romance/Drama thing. It will leave you in tears. 

Good chemestry between the main duo Amazing (night) animation Great OST 

Both have fantastic soundtrack and beautiful backgrounds, visual effects. Both are related to some kinds of 'dream'. Both are stories related to comets (or asteroid). and a man tries to save the woman he loves. 

Similar premise. Similar art style and story telling. 

Both Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo and Kimi no Na Wa feature stunning and detailed animation, with a focus on beautiful landscapes and character designs. They also share a theme of longing and the search for something greater than oneself. 

Both are touching and somehow tragic love stories although they differ in endings. Both movies are also incredibly beautiful and (I maybe a bit bias because Howl Moving Castle was my first anime) any sane and sensitive person should see both of those at least once. ^w^ 

Okay, so bubble is a kindve romance? It is and isn't, depends on your own interpretation. The major reason I recommend this in relation to Kimi no Na wa is the stunning animation, artwork and music design. It goes for both movies, it is phenomenal. The story telling in your name (Kimi no Na wa) far exceeds bubble, but that doesn't mean that it's bad. It isn't crazy difficult to follow what is going on in bubble but it may require a rewatch or two to fully comprehend it. Other than that it is well worth watching. 

Best Slice Of Life 

The couples are separated by time. The romance is great. A masterpiece story. 

Very similar storyline, if you liked the twist in Kimi no Na wa and are looking for the same kind of story, you'll like this one.  

Both animes have amazing art (imo) 

They essentially have the same plot line except with different circumstances, characters and genre. To be honest, both these stories could potentially be in the same universe as some sort of fan theory and I wouldn't be that surprised. 

Both the anime focus on body swapping between a boy and a girl Both the anime have perfect balance of romance ,supernatural and thriller genre  

great romance with a slight supernatural feel; though the supernatural theme does not have quite the explanation, but that's the charm of the animez. so if u loved the anime "Kimi no Na wa", i think u will also love "Midori no Hibi". 

Both shows depict tragedy and loss. One is real, the other is a fantasy relying on time travel but the real drama following a tragedy are present in both.
