Anime like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

Another is second on 316 votes and Shiki third on 253. 16 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Five of the 19 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Summer Time Rendering follows Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, only that 460 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

5 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu , Steins;Gate , Puella Magi Madoka Magica , Made in Abyss , The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya .

Keep going

Each of these has its own list of what people recommend after it — so if one of the suggestions above appeals, you can see where it leads before committing to it.
