Someday's Dreamers and Piano both have a very similar, beautiful animation style.. but more importantly, both are charming, quiet, slow tales of the everyday life of a girl who is trying to succeed, even when it seems impossible. If you've seen one, I really don't think it's possible that you'd dislike the other.

Completely different plots, but I just got a similar feel from watching both of these. Both are heavy on character development, though Twin Spica does have a bit more plot. In general, each are about a girl trying to succeed in her chosen field, against all odds. You'll get a light hearted and wonderful feeling after watching each episode of both of these shows. I definitely think if you like one, you would like the other.
