...then you might like Orange add

Both handle mental health issues in a refreshing way, however Orange is more idyllic than Welcome to the NHK; the NHK could be seen as the more mature version of the other, in a sense.

Both shows handle different mental health themes, such as anxiety and paranoia, and they also handle more difficult subjects like those of death and suicide in such a way that leaves the viewer feeling touched by the characters. Although each show has a different premise, they both explore similar developments and could be linked to each other in this way. Ultimately, they both argue that one should live in the moment and rid themself of worries, since these don't really bring anything to one's life.

...then you might like Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä add

Both stories handle the relationship between nature and humanity, while sprinkling in some hope in humanity and some magic. The cinematography and the score of both are breathtaking, and the feeling after watching either is refreshing and inspiring.

If you liked Texhnolyze add

...then you might like Shinseiki Evangelion add

Both shows handle the subject of a future that relies on technology, and how these interfere with the human soul and the development of humanity as an entity. While NGE is somewhat more digestible (IMO), Texhnolyze ends up showing how technology will inevitably eat up our souls and consume our humanity.

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Boogiepop wa Warawanai add

Serial Experiments Lain discusses the fear of existence, and how little control we really have over our lives. Boogiepop Phantom does something similar, however the overall message of the show is that regardless of all the bad and the good, everything will move and change. Whether that is depressing or daunting is up to the viewer to decide. Additionally, the animation and character design are extremely uncanny.
