If you liked Ohoshi-sama no Rail add

...then you might like Ushiro no Shoumen Daare add

Both have not only the same theme of the effect of war on children, but the general atmosphere of the playfulness of children and their families. While Those left Behind is usually taken to be the more popular of the two, Rail of the Star talks about other things in family relationships and seems to expand more the characters of not just the main lead girl but others. I think the story of Rail of The Star is more unique, but I liked both anyway and if you saw one, you should definitely see the other.

If you liked Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. add

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

As everyone said, both basically give off the same vibe. Both refreshing and don't claim to be more than they are, they don't claim to be the most exploring animes into the themes of childhood, they give what they want to give, a middle-school story. Childhood friends relationships and growing up Themes of change and fear of change A perhaps too much focus on childhood love that conquers all Manaka and Menma are alike but Manaka is more developed and becomes somewhat mature as the anime progresses (though we can't really blame Menma who's practically frozen in her childhood self) Both have brilliant soundtracks and you can't ever feel the urge to skip the openings and endings in very episode The characters of Nagi are more complex imo but then again its 13 Vs 26 eps. That being said, I think despite Nagi being longer, its pace and direction are actually better executed imo brilliant art and animation for both and a beautiful colourful, summer-like feel to them both (especially at the beginning of Nagi) I actually went back and watched some of Anohana after this

...then you might like Ikoku Meiro no Croisée The Animation add

both are set in European countries Ikoku Meiro no Croisee is set in Paris and Ristorante Paradiso is set in Rome, both have the same music composers which is a blend of beautiful western music with accordion, piano, violin and guitar, both give off the feeling of elite sensations, both tend to explore the different cultures and exaggerate in the artistic values of European things like Food and Architecture

both are unique school life animes. the characters in both are unforgettable, very funny at times, very touchy at times, unpredictable...the overall atmosphere is very similar especially with Pin and Yuri as the quirky teachers :D

...then you might like Hanasaku Iroha add

Yuiina and Kurumi look alike and the overall atmosphere of both animes is very refreshing. Also both have a unique look into the slice of life, romantic anime....Both definitely worth the time put into them

If you liked True Tears add

...then you might like Hanasaku Iroha add

both are P.A Works with very similar animation like the autumn feel of both, a feature for True Tears was even shown in Hanairo, both have similar stories and character design

If you liked Toradora! add

...then you might like Hanasaku Iroha add

these two are in more than one way similar both have an ensemble cast, with the main girls introduced in the first episode plus another one in later episodes (Ami for Toradora introduced in ep5, Yuiina is Hanasaku Iroha introduced in ep4), both animes seem to have a cliche story at first but then turn out to be very unique with amazing story writing and character development, the characters are not similar though. both series also have potential love couples introduced in the first episode but then through the anime things get mixed up, you don't know who will end up with who...the art in both is heartwarming and serene, and each episode is inspirational. however toradora has more comedy than Hanairo is yet to prove
