For a much better, much more heart-breaking and/or touching love triangle story, you have to watch Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The characters are deeper and have more time to develop, the situation is more tragic, and in general, is just great. Seriously, check this one out.

Ajimu and Refrain Blue are both love stories full of mystery and very generic animation to boot. If you enjoyed the tone and feel of one, you'd probably like the other (even though I didn't really enjoy either ;))

Each of these OVAs had a similar feel, look, and sound in them. Both of them are very short (too short to be very effective, in my opinion) and have a very generic type of look.

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop

Words and music bridge the gap between Cherry, a boy who is terrible at communicating with other people, and Smile, a girl who hides behind a mask. They meet in a mundane suburban shopping mall in a provincial city. Cherry always wears headphones and puts the feelings he cannot utter into his hobby, Japanese haiku poems. Smile always wears a mask to conceal her large front teeth, for which she has dental braces. As a popular video star, she streams a video about seeking "cuteness."

Tales of a Street Corner

Tales of a Street Corner

Life unfolds in the most unexpected places. Story of a Street Corner follows the bustling activities of a street corner, but not the ones you would expect. A hungry mouse, a moth desperately seeking the food caught in a spider’s web, and a love triangle unfolding between the posters lining the street are all depicted with an original musical score as the only sound.
