If you liked Nana add

...then you might like Clannad: After Story add

Both series are explorations into what it means to be in a relationship and what it takes to make it work amidst the turmoil that is life. They're both quite well developed in their characters and in their faithful portrayal of the ups and downs of love. If you like Nana, you should watch Clannad for the back-story then watch Clannad After Story and enjoy the soul-crushing void that comes with it. If you're in a relationship, or were in one where things didn't exactly go according to plan, or even if they did, you will be able to appreciate both Nana and Clannad After Story for all they have to offer.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Serial Experiments Lain add

Revenge of the late 90s with these two unique pieces. Serial Experiments Lain is only similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion with the undertones, as well as the atmosphere and overall impression both series tend to leave with people. Evangelion will leave you somewhat shaken in what you consider to be "normal" in the ways of human psychology, as well as taking you through a detailed unraveling of the main characters, whereas Lain will leave you wondering more about the duality of the self and the responsibilities associated with near God-Like power (something that the viewers of the End of Evangelion wish had been discussed with a certain character). Both have a haunting feeling that I associate with them, as Demolition D+ would say, an "over your shoulder, God is watching" kind of feeling, an omnipotence hidden just beyond our view. If you enjoyed Eva, you'll enjoy Lain.
