If you loved Voices of a Distant Star, try Your Name.
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Makoto Shinkai, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Voices of a Distant Star, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Your Name. is
Mountain town, cherry blossoms falling, a high school girl's journal. Mitsuha and Taki swap lives, she in his Tokyo body, he in hers, each morning a surprise. Makoto Shinkai balances fantasy and coming-of-age with gentle precision.
