add recI personally think Kita e: Diamond Dust Drops is the best anime that involves the stories of several girls; these stories are more touching than the ones in Seraphim Call. The bottom line is that if you liked Seraphim Call, it's impossible to not like Kita e; so give it a try!
Both series are composed by different stories that seem unrelated but end up with a relation between them and a "lesson" to explain it in a way. In both, they explore human feelings from the perspective of different girls who at first seem unrelated but end up having something in common in the end. If you liked one, you'll definately like the other! Still, don't expect just the same anime with just some differences, for each one of them has it's special setting and unique stories!

add recThe ebb and flow of both of these series is identical. You watch each episode as a stand alone 25 minutes, all of them seemingly unconnected. The final episode ties all of the stories together, with a nice little twist.
Seraphim is much slower paced, and is not quite as deep and involved as Boogiepop. Boogiepop is a classic horror series, and can take a lot of focus to get through.
If you like anime series that are a little less conventional from the norm, then I think you will enjoy both of these.
