It's made by the same director, who pays attention to great details in movies. Plus, that other movie's characters make cameos here. Both movies have supernatural themes, and romantic relationships developing between their poster couples.

Both Kimi no Na wa and Koe no Katachi are romantic films featuring young people who are on the cusp of adulthood. They are both emotionally moving with beautiful artwork and animation. Koe no Katachi doesn't have the same supernatural element that comes with Kimi no Na wa, but it has a similar impact. However, while Koe no Katachi is appropriate for adolescent viewers, it does deal with some severe bullying and darker themes that are absent in Kimi no Na wa, so if that is something that is difficult for you, you may want to avoid this film.

Both explore the difficulties that arise from body-swapping, such as the impact on daily lives and coping with the invasiveness of it. 
report Recommended by ElanMT
Same director, similar theme of heartbreak, similar use of train metaphor of life going in different paths but always going onward. Both are beautiful artistically and I hold them both as my two favorite Makoto Shinkai films. 
report Recommended by RavarathTV
Instead of being reminded of Shinkai's other FAR more melancholic/sappy offerings, watching Your Name reminded me very much of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time in tone and direction. They begin as something akin to 'supernatural sit-coms' where a supernatural element is inserted into the daily lives of high school kids and fun silliness ensues. They do later switch their emphasis to drama but there's never an overwhelming sense of despair. There's also a spoilerific aspect that links Your Name with TGWLTT... but, yeah: SPOILERS.

Both stories are wonderful and very exciting. You can't help but fall in love with the characters. The animations are similar and the story is moving, too.

Strange Phenomenal that caused by comet, and both have same victims (High school students). As long as the story progressed, the plot become deeper. Both have a great visual, Very worth to watch!!

Both are cute heart warming stories, finding love along the way :3

Deeply moving, beautiful music. Both highlight the inner struggle and the influence of other people in understanding this struggle.  
report Recommended by Zerelada
Really good romance and slice-of-life stories with a mild sci-fi/fantastical twist. ReLIFE deals with more things however (the comedic elements and serious societal issues). The relationship between the two main leads is perhaps the biggest similarity. All I can say is, they are both in love and have to deal with a terrible truth somehow. 
report Recommended by Fortress_Maximus
Both are touching movies that have to do with time travelling and changing fate. Beautiful art, entertaining and creative concepts! 
report Recommended by jamontoast
The movie deals with the same teenage love, with its struggle. Both films cope with identity issue, overcoming your suffering, and the good relationships the characters have with their lover and friends they have. Plus, both movies have good memorable music.

Both Violet Evergarden and Kimi no Na wa featured realistic art and emotional scenes.

Unexpected twists are good in making these shows have more emotional effect. Plus the characters are well developed

Are you ready for more timeline shenanigans? Steins;Gate is a more mature series than Kimi no Na wa, but both feature organic relationships between characters - both romantic and platonic - as well as a deceptively pleasant start.

-Same Story telling styles -Amazing Soundtracks -Gorgeous animation -Emotional Stories

Similar in slice of life and romance, the main characters in both deal with struggles that are more or less the same.

Unnatural occurrences force a pair of teenagers to experience the others culture and avoid a deadly threat. 
report Recommended by Xoll
Both have the idea of "Akai Ito" (red strings of fate), that regardless of how much time has passed, if it's meant to be, it will be. 
report Recommended by artrockerisPunkd
-Both are about the male protagonist trying to save the heroine from the clutches of the opposing force -Both have a similar time travel element to them -Both have a similar method of developing and presenting their characters to the audience, which sees them with obvious surface level traits that are easy for the audience to attach to

Cross Road basically feels like a PV for Your Name that ultimately would scrap some ideas and would end up being a different movie that it was originaly planned. 
report Recommended by Punkero
These are both supernatural stories about some sort of incident taking place and the main characters trying to prevent it (I won't specify due to spoilers). They are beautifully animated, have great soundtracks, and leave you with a similar sense of satisfaction by the end. The scenery is fantastic in both. If you are looking for a good supernatural romance, either of these will likely please you.

Both Happen from Different Timelines and time travels you will enjoy this as much

If you looking for some supernatural mixed with some romance stuff, then kimi no nawa might be a good recommendation for aobuta movie, the storyline was stunning that'll surprise you. Romance giving it some sweetness along the way.

-Both are body swapping stories in which the locations stopped to are deeply relevant to the person swapped to -Both prominently feature two main characters working together to help one another and supplement each other's flaws -Both involve similar tragic events that I will not disclose due to how important they both are as plot twists

The first 3 episodes of Bunny Girl Senpai is simply an upgrade to your name; both series are about supernatural phenomenons as well as losing memory and forgetting about someone you love. 
report Recommended by Fallen_Leaves
Same productors, well it's not the same story but it has a love theme too and it's similar in some ways. I think you will like it. 
report Recommended by Klllady
Both are phenomenal movies that handle a beautiful romance that explores the themes of loss as well as stretches the bonds of a relationship through time and space. Haruhi is a bit more introspective and downtrodden, while Kimi no Na wa is a more upbeat movie. 
report Recommended by Rockmandash12
-While Golden time has a lot more comedy you can't notice how similar the drama aspects are on both. Golden time has a lot more romance than Kimi no Na wa and i'll recommend it if you're looking for something more romantic. -Without spoiling too much, the last couple of episodes of Golden Time have a lot in common with Kimi no Na wa's ending. -If you liked one i'm sure you'll like the other.  
report Recommended by Fabi777682
-both give the same vibe to how a girl and a guy cannot meet each other even though they love each other the ending to both of them were very similiar. -but if you are watching violet evergarden then watch the tv series and the first movie otherwise you won't be able to understand this movie. -btw i love the violet evergarden movie more than kimi no na wa:)

If they are not similar in love story, they are similar in the deep, noble feelings of the characters. Superb animation and music. 
report Recommended by Niveen_Sleem
Both had similar aspects of finding their true love with a twist by using Time as their primary obstacle. Both are Impacting and gave a very deep meaning. The feels chart do not over shadow each other, they're equally beautiful. I don't know why people didn't thought about Millennium Actress when people watched Kimi no na wa, that's practically a more modernized version of it. 
report Recommended by Ryetz
It's more just the fact that these two are literally similar as opposed to feels. The art style, romance story, teen love. You get the drift. Also live in a time that's a lot like the present day, presented in a way that doesn't seem too out of touch with reality. Good as movies, maybe something to take in the long run. I personally wouldn't say Soda Pop is all that good, but it is there if you want a try. It's all fun if nothing else.

Youth with big dreams in a small town. Growing up and growing apart, flittering back to those memories of the past that grow ever fainter. Art styles that find beauty in the small details of everyday life.  
report Recommended by Thedude3445
I recommend this movie, I mean there's no body swapping in this movie but it does the same effect to your heart as much as Kimi no Na wa does, the art and love story is similar in predicaments because someone does die in it also so it is similar in ways. But i do highly recommend this movie to people who loved the touchy feely types of anime movies like Kimi no Na wa.

Both have beautiful and amazing art and visuals.

Both are movies that describe the relationship between the boy and girl. They both have more bittersweet endings and have great storylines, and art. 
report Recommended by flarey_
I get the same vibe as "Kimi no Na wa." When watching "Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia". The MC and heroine like Taki and Mitsuha too. And yeah, the star. The story isn't that similar though. It's just the same vibe 
report Recommended by AdityaRizkiS
Both are greatly emotional and beautiful anime. Both have some kind of astronomical disasters in them. Both have great music. One is a music video one is a movie. 
report Recommended by AgentJames
Ano Hana isn't about body-swapping like Kimi no Na wa. But what significantly makes them similar is the way the shows are extremely emotional. They both shock us with sad twists. The two shows also have similar background musics that trigger your sense of sympathy. They both also deal with superstitions involved around the main female characters. If you want to cry again, I'd strongly recommend this anime. (Plus, they have the same character designer). 
report Recommended by Rythme
The more mystical meaning of this does come close to Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo and even the character development is close to it. The art is also closer than to some of his other works. 
report Recommended by Ace19
Both are beautifully animated and heartwarming films that have similar imagery of shooting stars and several plot simiarities, such as time-slip elemtns and the main girl cutting her hair short. Sophie and Mitsuha feel a little similar to me, as they are both very strong young women but are not quite happy with themselves and the lives they lead. 
report Recommended by TaliaMatsuo
Both shows are movies with beautiful and detailed visuals, accompanied by great animation in more dynamic sequences, top-notch direction, and good music. Their stories are centered around powerful "meteorological anomaly", however in each case the scale and character of that anomaly is different. 
report Recommended by Adnash
The artstyle are very similar with the surrealistic drawings that draws you into the scene; very detailed. The stories deal with a normal world and another vaguely explained world. The way everything works is not put in front of you and requires you to activate your brain and think things through; maybe even doing research. The stories are very powerful and both activate emotions very easily. The biggest difference is how Clannad takes the emotions very far and toys with your heart, while Kimi no na Wa takes simple steps to trigger a lesser level of sadness. 
report Recommended by GiantQAACSleier
They are directed by Makoto Shinkai They talk about a distant relationship and between them there's a way they can talk but always with time between them. I the two movies there are references about the sky world, the stars, and the different worlds.

The plots in both involve the entanglement of the past and the future, with the future influencing the past and the past influencing the future.

- Time travel. - Girl, meets boy! - Generation-skipping. - Contemporary setting. - Low fantasy. Supernatural household. - Pretty visuals with lots of gloss and shininess, full of aqua, sky blue and green With more to come ...I think 
report Recommended by Lanz
Both are set in a small village when a time for a local festival is approaching, and one of the main characters is a priestess that has to perform in it, both involve a kind of time travel related to the village's beliefs, and both Kimi no Na wa and Higurashi second season have the same tension and are exciting in the same way when a small group of friends is trying to prevent something from happening and getting other people to cooperate. 
report Recommended by Narushisto
In both anime, the protagonist wakes up in the body of someone else, of the other gender. Both revolves around a mysterious setting and finding the reason for their body switch. The animation style of both anime is simply amazing. Both series focus on preventing a disaster. If you like kimi no na wa, you will also like Eoneu Nal Jameseo Kkaeeoboni Bagelyeoga Doeeo Isseotda.  
report Recommended by future_dose
Things that smiliar? Supernatural things that only happen to two people and make them closer. Midori no Hibi is more silly (wtf, my right hand become a girl?) and old anime (clearly kimi no na wa is better), but you can still enjoy it especially if you already watch Kimi no Na wa and you can't forget about the movie and keep bugging you all the time and feel hopeless... The thing that Midori no Hibi do better is how the anime ends. Shinkai definetly still could learn something from Midori no Hibi

Tragedy can bring forth hope in its own way. These two animes in particular show that in their own way. Tokyo Magnitude shows how our main protagonist lives her life after the earthquake that struck Japan and caused the people to have many losses. While Kimi no Na wa shows our two main characters who wind up in great confusion when living someone else's life and also how they were able to break out of the confusion. These events bring about a huge change in these characters' lives. Changes that one, the viewer or character, will not expect.

They both have beautiful love stories. It's simple, clean and well-executed. Of course, the graphics and general Kimi No Na Wa would be more detailed and well-rounded as there is an investment budget difference and one's a movie while the other is a short anime that only consists of 6 episodes. Considering these differences, it is very worthwhile sweet, romance anime.
