Both are about maturing relationships from high-school, to college, and beyond. Both feature a woman that the characters are enamored by due to her appearance and attitude, with her attitude being a major reason for why mishaps occur. Both have an ending of 'and life goes on, and things haven't changed.'

The two are very similar: There is the modification of bodies with machinery, there is a higher 'other city' that is supposed to be paradise, a character whose backstory is mysterious is the main character, the themes of despair in an uncivilized society are strong in both, the color palettes are nearly identical.

If you liked Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi add

...then you might like Gakkougurashi! add

Both are series that deal with a unique post-apocalyptic setting Life after death, and the meaning of living are explored in similar ways; along with other themes. The 'slice of life' aesthetic is present in both Both heroines are plucky, happy go lucky, high-energy girls Both give the illusion of being something they're not

If you liked Higashi no Eden add

Both series heavily deal with money and how its use can cause a ripple effect into everyday lives. Both shows have a main character with similar ideals, though the shows make them play out in different ways. Both series deal with political intrigue on some level without a clear distinction of what is right and wrong.

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like Flag add

Both main characters are watchers who follow the events in the world as they transpire. Both have a unique storytelling feel. Flag is found footage, Kino is like a storybook. Both explore similar themes such as death, war, purpose, and what it means to 'watch.'

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi add

Both series are episodic in nature- thought Sunday Without God's arcs are three episodes apiece, both very much utilize this formula. Both involve traveling to other cities and countries in order to learn about another's way of life. Neither tell you necessarily how to feel about what you are seeing. It leaves those feelings up to you. Both have very philosophical and moral themed arcs.

If you liked Haibane Renmei add

...then you might like Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

The art style is the main reason. It has this old storybook kind of feel that is very relaxing to see. The stories in both are very similar. While Kino may be more episodic, both cover complicated issues like suicide, death, forgiveness, and despair in simplistic ways. The writing itself is very similar. The diction of the characters is surprisingly similar. I don't want to give away anymore, lest I spoil some plot, but both a great!

If you liked Shangri-La add

...then you might like Fractale add

A similar power struggle is held by those who run the so-called 'utopia' and those who are left to fend for themselves The main character is a plucky, odd teen who wants to understand the world before condemning it There is a large control by an entity that is seen as good to everyone except those directly under their influence The supporting characters are much the same Apocalyptic settings (Though Shangri-la is traditional destruction, while Fractale is more destruction of ideas and thought) Both deal with a large ending that is somewhat ambiguous

If you liked Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica add

...then you might like Selector Infected WIXOSS add

WIXOSS has the same theme of something that is seemingly innocent, not being so. The girls must also fight for the sake of their wishes, as in Madoka. Heavily driven by normal human emotion.
