If you liked Touch add

...then you might like Maison Ikkoku add

Slow-paced but steady and beautifully executed character development. While the characters in both series are very different from each other and are at different parts of their lives, the themes of both are very similar. Both are also produced in the 1980s and gives you a very genuine feel for what Japan was like at the time. If you loved one, you'll love the other.

If you liked RahXephon add

...then you might like Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven add

The Director of Eureka 7 (Tomoki Kyoda) was also involved as Assistant Director for Rahxephon, and both series share a lot in common. Rahxephon, like Eureka 7, is also a "character-driven" mecha which I'd highly recommend to anyone who likes a good love story with giant robots thrown in, or a giant robot story with a love story thrown in - take your pick, you win either way.

If you liked Hana yori Dango add

...then you might like Marmalade Boy add

While not as gritty (or dare I say as deep) as Hana Yori Dango, Marmalade Boy has a lot of the same elements of love triangles and the trials and tribulations of youth - the female leads in both also have some strong similarities - if you enjoyed one, you will likely enjoy the other.

If you liked Hachimitsu to Clover II add

...then you might like Maison Ikkoku add

Also a very mature and rewarding love story with memorable characters (the comical Yotsuya bears a particular resemblance to Shinobu in H&C) - be warned that Maison Ikkoku's animation is dated (was produced in the 80's), but if you're willing to go back in time a bit, you'll find the reward is more than worth it!

If you liked Maison Ikkoku add

...then you might like Kimagure Orange☆Road: Ano Hi ni Kaeritai add

If you enjoyed this movie, which is essentially Kimagure Orange Road without the off-beat sci-fi elements, you will almost certainly enjoy Maison Ikkoku, also produced in the 80's which is in many ways the same type of story, told over a much longer timespan (96 episodes!) Despite the length, it's very much worth it!
