Both feature teenagers exploring the strange interconnections of love amidst supernatural occurrences in a tiny seaside town with strange rituals. Both have drop-dead gorgeous art and are created by some of the most respected storytellers in anime (Shinkai Makoto and Okada Mari). Both make clever use of an overused trope (body swap and timeskip).

- both feature characters and communities tightly tied to the sea - both have transfer students adapting to a new environment - both series focus at least in part on gaining the courage to be yourself, especially in social interactions - both feature plotlines that emerge relatively late in the series and that threaten to overwhelm an apparent peacefulness - both have distinctive art styles that are blue-heavy and evocative of summer and the sea - they strike me as shoujo and shonen versions of one another.
