...then you might like Isshuukan Friends. add

Both of these animes should go hand in hand for many similarities. -Both have very similar art styles despite having a different animators. When I see one of the shows, I can't help but think of the other. -The tone setting is also similar. Yes its a slice of life anime and a very realistic one at that (save the memory lost from Isshuukan friends) but it touches a iffy topic that makes the heroine shunned by between families (Usagi Drop) or from making friends (Isshuukan friends). -In terms of characters, we have the similar scenario where the male lead is the only one to initiate a connection between the heroine when everyone else doesn't. If you like scenarios where the hero goes out of his way to save the "damsel in distress" you should watch this. There are also similar support characters which from a distance helps out (like giving tips) the male lead and gradually joins in the circle. -The overall theme are powerful lessons telling the audience that "life isn't easy". Whether its raising a child as a single father with no experience to teaching a lonely girl how to make friends again isn't a walk in the park which the male leads begin to realize after making such a commitment. -Finally, the impact that these shows intend to give the audience hits us in "the feels". We are rooting for each of the male leads to not give up so the female lead can have a second chance. We in some way hold this thing called "sympathy" for the characters that many character given animes strive to do for our overall enjoyment on top of the warm vibe that it gets. I definitely suggest giving these potential slice of life masterpieces a try.

If you liked Clannad: After Story add

...then you might like Nagi no Asu kara add

A slice of life anime with a glaring supernatural element that governs the story. This includes a character driven plot where all of the main cast has a fleshed out character development (save a minor few), a solid romance storyline, breath taking animation, memorable music, and copious cliff hangers and plot twists that will give you "the feels". Nagi no Asukara are one of the few animes that will fill the void when finishing Clannad: After Story. Likewise, Clannad and Clannad: After Story is an appropriate series to watch if you want more stories like Nagi.
