If you liked Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru add

...then you might like Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! add

A lot of what goes into Eizouken is directly inspired by SoreMachi. There's a three hour discussion you can watch in Japanese between Oowara Sumito and Ishiguro Masakazu on the former's channel, the writers of each of these shows' respective manga, which goes into more detail. Even without knowing this, watching one then the other should make evident some of the themes that the two share in locations, characters, jokes, and designs. Even if the stories aren't too similar, the way they navigate through them are.

...then you might like The Sky Crawlers add

Some of the least anime-ish anime movies you can watch. It's paced and directed more like a live action film.

You may notice that Akira Oono and Wakaba Himeji look very similar to one another. Both are the work of Rensuke Oshikiri.

If you liked Tesagure! Bukatsumono add

...then you might like Shirobako add

Extremely fast-paced shows using lots of short visual references to explain ideas and concepts one after another. Almost a quantity over quality feeling, to avoid polishing thoughts too much. Audiovisual Adderall.

If you liked Otaku no Video add

Documentary-style animation with live action interspersed. Lots of subtle comedy.

An alternate universe's take on Venice, Italy. Heavy on detailed architecture.

If you liked Initial D First Stage add

Long-running series with similar high-energy soundtracks and parity shifts between action and SOL drama.

If you liked Alien 9 add

...then you might like Digimon Adventure: Bokura no War Game! add

Nobody outside of the main cast seem to have a grasp on reality. Excess of similarities in shot composition, similar environments and locations. Ethereal.
