The Anime Order

13 suggestions, most-recommended first

Anime like The Tatami Galaxy

498 people recommend Monogatari to anyone who liked The Tatami Galaxy — more than any other title. Ping Pong the Animation is second on 489 votes and Sonny Boy third on 460. Ten 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 The Tatami Galaxy and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Two of the 13 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 The Tatami Galaxy and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Monogatari follows The Tatami Galaxy, only that 498 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.

2 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: Monogatari , Odd Taxi .

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.
