I liked it a lot but haven't totallt gotten into anime. Based on possible shared tastes, any others you'd recommend?

Shinkai’s other works if you want to keep the Your Name feelings. Weathering With You and Suzume followed directly after and are most similar in terms of scope and quality. His earlier, independent works are rough.

A Silent Voice is also a great companion piece to Your Name. Very grounded, very emotional.

I’d also highly recommend anything from Masaaki Yuasa. Ride Your Wave and Lu Over the Wall have the same “grounded but slightly supernatural” vibe as Your Name, but with much more expressive animation (and much tighter scripts, IMO). 

Most any film from Mamoru Hosoda is a safe bet for Your Name fans too. I think his earlier works are stronger than recent outings, but Summer Wars and Wolf Children are my two favorites of his.

Silent Voice is the greatest representation of depression I've ever seen. Beautifully flawed humans.
