Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki

This is the top recommendation already, but the themes and emotions in these two movies are both really raw and similar. Single mothers raising children that are of a different species, dealing with the problems that arise because of these circumstance, and loving their children unconditionally. Both movies made me cry, though Maquia had me in tears since minute 10 til the end of the movie. They are really heart-wrenching movies, and as a girl who immigrated to America and lost a lot of familial bonds, I cried a little extra. The pure maternal love in these movies make me choke up every time. Really recommend them.  read more 

Motherhood: the movie. These are two stories of single mothers raising a child/children by themselves. They are some of the best examples of true motherly love, and really hit at that emotional core in many ways. They show the sacrifices required to raise children, and both the good and bad that can come with that. If you want something to lift your spirits, likely through tears, these two are easy to recommend.  

Those are movies about a single mom raising a child from a different species. In the case of Ookami Kodomo, the protagonist raises her two half-wolves kids; in the case of Maquia, the protagonist raises a human boy as if he was her own child. Those are one of the few anime I've ever seen that focus on how hard it is to be a single mom. Both are great movies, and will surely make you cry. 

- A story about mother. - Hana is a breeder , Maquia not. Both are lovely mother to have, though. And to watch ofc. - Two rebellious kids v. one mother-complex kid. Choose your poison wisely, mom. - Beautiful world. Personally, i like the kindgom-esque world in Maquia more than the humble village-esque world of Ookami Komodo. - There will be tears. Trust me. 

Both are films about motherhood, under unusual (that is to say supernatural) circumstances, that will likely make you cry. Despite their fantastical setting, they focus on the hardships of life, relationships, and how people change and grow. 

Both are very beautiful films. They make me cry T ^ T. Similarity: -About single parents -Show how mothers care for their children grow patiently - A BROKEN HEART MOVIE T^T 

need something that wants to test how tough your heart and emotions are? I will give this P.S : this is an anime movie, so it doesn't take long time to watch it. 

Both have similar themes. Both will make you cry. 

SPOILER ALERT FOR MAQUIA Maquia and Wolf Children both deal with the hardships, struggle, love and care through the fantasy genre of mothership and maternal love. Where as Wolf Children's conflict comes through Hana having to raise 2 impossible children who possess both human and wolf traits, Maquia shows the relationship between an immortal girl raising a child who is inherently not her own. Both seem almost majestic by showing what is essentially at its core a grounded and heart felt relationship between mother and children, with the struggles of growing up, yet also being set in a believable fantasy world. If you love Wolf Children, or want a realistic fantasy to cry at again, you owe it to yourself to see Maquia. read more 

Exploring the themes of motherhood integrated into beautiful fantasy settings. The focus on parenting is more prominent in Wolf Children, with Maquia expending more time and effort to develop its world. Both are dazzling and dramatic experiences to behold, ambitiously attempting to weave tales covering large time spans within just a few hours. 

-Both of these movies made me call up my mum and just say "I love you so much and thank you so much for looking after me and loving me <3" -They are heart-warming and beautiful and twine together all the emotions felt by the viewers seamlessly -TELL YOUR MOM THAT YOU LOVE HER ! 

Both are hearthwarming portrays of a mother raising her child through adversity  

Wow, both will have Cat's In The Cradle playing in the background as you watch them. Apart from being blatant pro-natal propaganda, both shows take a huge risk that other producers avoid like the plague - talkin abt MOTHERHOOD. In case you didn't know, its one of the hardest jobs in the world and both movies prove that in their own way - by chopping onions on the down low. Still, the only thing you have to remember is CALL YOUR MOM AND TELL HER YOU LOVE HER DAMMIT!!! 

I think the biggest similarity between these two movies is that they’re parent-oriented tear jerkers. If you’re looking for a grogeous movie to sob to, look no further. The lead in both is a single mom trying her darn best for her kid (s). Sayonara is a fantasy based worl that includes dragons, mythical races, kings and warring kingdoms, while wolf children focuses on a modern Japanese setting. There’s strong character growth through both, which includes the children and the parents. You’ll cry for both, so get the tissues ready. 

Both tackle the same topic which is raising a family. Although that both have fantasy, Wolf children is more connected to the modern era. They have a similar narrative with the use of timeskips, and in my opinion they were better used in WC. If you enjoyed one of them, I highly recommend the other 

It's no easy task to become a good parent, especially being a single parent, Wolf Children and Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms are specialists in this situation. Even with the vast difference in race, even with the abnormalities and troubles that can be brought to the family due to society. Mothers Maquia and Hana both create a family far from a standard human one, in which, both protagonists go through a process of learning normal life skills via raising children. Both characters also have a nice smile to keep up. Both are great works for the fantasy genre about family, though Promised Flower is for those who love drama, Wolf Children for those who look for more s.o.l read more 

These animes might not seem like the type of animes you'd connect with one another but they are very similar within the characters, environment, plot and how the main protagonist faces challenges day in and day out! In both of these anime movie we end up watching a female protagonist who both end up becoming mothers to a different species they do not understand. Firstly they are young and don't understand how to be a mother but also they have to be mothers children they don't understand. So we watch these young female characters become stronger within themselves but also to the people around them. Both movies are stunning, beautiful and can be a tearjerker.  read more 

They are both movies about a mother's struggles of raising their children and family life. 

The protagonists of both movies are extremely similar, in a sense of having a child yet not knowing on what and how to deal with it. Teaching a valuable lesson in life that might help in real life situations if the same issue/s were encountered. 

While set in completely different worlds, both of these movies portray a mother trying her best raise he child(ren) in circumstances that are less than ideal.

Both films are a coming of age about children growing up under abnormal circumstances, and struggling. Each of these stories ends in a rather controversial way where you can only enjoy it if you can accept harsh realities and the truth of growing up. Wolf Children has something over Maquia, and it is that Maquia relies far too much on plot convenience, and a lot of the elements clash, whereas in Wolf Children things worked out better in the story and fell in place a lot smoother, and was easier to understand, and also more for the casual viewing. Both a very emotional and worth a watch. read more

Movies about motherhood and kids growing up. Maquia is a personal favorite, though. 

The troubles of raising children from a single parent's perspective. Ookami Kodomo has a super natural aspect to it, while Usagi Drop fits into the real world. 

A strong parent/guardian who makes numerous concessions in their life for the sake of raising a kid/children. Both also have actual children as seiyuu for Ame and Yuki when they're young. 

A heartwarming tale with a lighthearted mood to go with the idea of taking care of children and parenting. That is a major theme in both series. In both series, there is the idea of growing up. However, it is up to the parent to take care of them and raise the child to become independent. There is a slice of feeling that goes along with the concept of parenting. After all, raising a kid is not easy and often comes with challenges and struggles. Yet in both series, the characters gets along well together and they take on life itself with that slice-of-life feeling.

Both stories revolve around a single parent attempting to find a way to raise a child/children on their own and the trials and tribulations that follow. 

Both show the struggles of being a single parent caring for children. They are slice-of-life anime that are really really heartwarming. 

They both are simple stories about life. While ookami has a plot in the last 1/3, Usagi Drop continues to have the simple tale. That doesn't mean they both are bad, since they don't have plots. It's actually their simplicity that makes it so engaging. They both heavily emphasize about how cutesy both animes are suppose to be and we grow with the characters. they are both fun and have magnificent storytelling that makes the characters extremely gratifying. 

Both are the only shows in existence about parenting worthwhile. Just please don't read the usagi drop manga. 

Both anime contain a main character that take cares of kids with him/her self, and both of them had much trouble to get use of taking care of children. 

Parents make all sorts of sacrifices to raise their children. These sacrifices are compounded for single parents. The reward of seeing their children grow is quite motivating. Both are centred around such stories and are told from the parent's point of view. The artwork and sound track to both are absolutely great. Usagi Drop has a much more happy and light feeling to it where as Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki has one of the saddest openings ever and a bittersweet ending, especially if you are a parent. 

Single-parenting with extraordinary circumstances. 

They are both about the idea of growing up; being raised by a parent until they are capable of being independent. The animation style for both titles are very simple but bright, and their ost, in my opinion, sound very similar at times. Although Ookami Kodomo no Ame To Yuki is about raising wolf-children, rather than human-children, both anime have the same feeling to them while watching; the viewer could even feel accustomed to the idea that raising animals as their own children is perfectly normal, making both titles, naturally, a relaxing watch. 

Similarity - point difficulty of single mum/dad that have to raise kid alone Difference - Ookami (movie) is a lot more struggling because the mother has to raise her two werewolves kid in human world alone since they were born.  

Usagi Drop and Wolf Children are both masterpieces about the difficulties of raising a child. Both have unique artwork, exceptional characters and stories, and while Usagi Drop is more simplistic and easy to follow, it's an anime that doesn't get enough credit! So, if you loved Wolf Children, WATCH IT! 

The series are about singles raising their children. They are specifically about the problems that can arise and what effect this situation has on the parent/uncle and children. Both are beautifully designed and have a heartwarming story, even if they are a bit sad. 

Fantasy feel. Parent moving out to an old home in the countryside with their two young children (very similar scenes here). 

Both movies have a beautiful mix of slice of life and fantasy with a heavy focus on a single (or acting as a single) parent caring for two adventerous children in a rural mountain village. Ookami Kodomo can definitely be compared to Miyazaki's works and feels to me like a modern-day Totoro. 

Both concern the coming of age theme in it and the characters' move to the country to live in a traditional japanese house that is hidden away from neighbors. Also Young Yuki reminded me a lot of Mei, both having very similar personalities. I got the same heart warming feeling watching both of these movies 

Nothing is explicitly similar about these two movies, but they both have a slice-of-life type of feel and a very calming atmosphere, as the characters are isolated in the country for most of the movie. They both deal with the relationship between humans and nature, and feature two adorable children being raised by one parent. However, some (minor) differences to note are that Wolf Children revolves more around the mom, rather than the children,while Totoro focuses on the children. Wolf children is also sadder and more emotional than Totoro. 

The plot of both movies takes place in a rural area of Japan and both talk about childhood with fantasy elements. 

Two of the greatest anime films, both brimming with magic and wonderful understated moments. They never get too dark, so both provide a healthy dose of family-friendly entertainment. 

Both of these movies have similar themes of family and growing up. Totoro is more geared towards kids while Wolf Children appeals to adults more (specifically parents). This also means that Totoro is more lighthearted and fun while Wolf Children is somewhat on the serious side, although it still has plenty of funny/cute moments. These two movies also have similar settings, featuring a parent with two kids in a house near the forest. The soundtracks are very different, but both sound great and really help boost the impact of important scenes. I would also say that these two movies are the best animated movies of their respective decades. read more 

They have a similar narrative: Rural life and family with supernatural touches. Both are highly recommended.  

What the countryside brings. Rather than a similar plot, both My Neighbor Totoro and Wolf Children both follow a family moving out to the countryside. Whilst My Neighbor Totoro does this at the very start of the movie, Wolf Children does this due to the pressure from other people in raising Wolf Children. Both are good interesting anime with My Neighbor Totoro being a wholesome adventure. Wolf Children being more dramatic. 

Both are kids movies w/ believable SoL settings; directing prowess are on similar levels with exceptional audiovisual qualities. Both are fairly slow paced movies with supernatural qualities as well that make up a significant aspect of their respective films~ 

Both anime films directed by Mamoru Hosoda deal with a world based on our world with some supernatural beast-like elements. The biggest similarity is both are movies that deal with parenthood and children growing up and coming into their own. Wolf Children is more about a mother and her two kids while Boy and the Beast is about a son and his father. Both are solid movie experiences and are donely fairly well. I think parents are more likely to get a kick out of them but I can see many enjoying their stories. 

- Both are animal-human stories, but wolf children is a little more dramatic. - Similar satisfatory feeling with the animation / Plot. 

Both anime movies are directed by Mamoru Hosada.They have similar art style and animation. Both have beasts and animals that can talk, so interaction between humans and animals/beasts. Great and heartwarming story, very detailed and with lots of action. Definitely will keep you entertained.  

First of all, both movies are written/directed by the same guy so the art styles are very similar. The Boy and The Beast and Wolf Children are both very similar. They both involve a human having some sort of relationship with a beast. They're both heartwarming and both span over a long period of time. Although, Boy and the Beast has more action in it and, in my opinion, is funnier than Wolf Children in terms of comedy.  

Same production, same animation, same torrent of feelings : both touching as hell . The two stories are really different, but every elements that made Ookami Kodomo a good movie are also in Bakemono no Ko . Be sure you watch it if you liked this movie 

Difference - Ookami will lead you to see how amazing for someone to become single-mother - Bakemono is like fulfill each other missing pieces and pull out inner strength to do sth  

Unique upbringing. Wolf Children and The Boy and The Beast both follow children raised by parents with a unique biological factor between the two relations. Wolf Children's human mother Hana has to raise two literal half-wolf/human children. Boy and Beast follows human Ren entering the beast realm, only to grow onto Kumatetsu as a disciple of his. Both are great movies made by the same studio, Studio Chizu, and the same director, Mamoru Hosoda.  

How the single parent feels when raising their kids, and vice versa? Both movies give some kind of sense of that question. They give an answer about how a man or a woman become a single parent (not because they have been forced into). Both also give the same perspective from the "kid" char.  

Both are very good slice of life/drama movies, the same director, similar artstyle, beautiful animation both give you similar warm/touching feeling while watching 

Same Director, nice flowing feel to the movies. Colorful, dynamic scenes with likeable characters with a sense of nostalgia, and working against the odds through normal life with a small, but central supernatural element that is not overpowered and does not stand out. 

Tokikake and Wolf children are very kind, interesting, and light. After watching Tokikake/Wolf children I was very merry. Also it's the same director — Mamoru Hosoda.  

Both movies have a lighthearted background, similar animation, and has the same director Mamoru Hosoda involved. Additionally, both movie has a taste of supernatural themes. Both movies have a warm fuzzy feeling that is a pleasant experience. The main female protagonist from both series also have similar personalities. In both movies, there's also a sense of the slice-of-life feeling. 

this one was made by the same director, the same art style and youll laugh with the characters, but when thing is gonna be serious youre gonna cry, these films have phylosofical questions about the who and the what to do, youre gonna enjoy this. 

Honestly, there aren't many similarities with this movie in terms of plot, however, both movies in a board scale of things teach a lesson to us of what we as people have the power to do. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time aims to show the power of time manipulation, with the drawbacks, and positives, that it can bring upon us. Wolf Children brings forward the lesson of how the oddities of the world and their existence as the abnormal, which also bring upon negatives and positives. Both are great visual works by the same director Mamoru Hosoda, both amassing the same amount of drama and supernatural elements. read more 

Similar emphases on family and both leave you with a similar satisfying feeling. Plenty of drama, heartbreak, and a little comedy to make these slice of life stories about families growing up some of the best anime there are. Clannad After Story has more romance and much more drama while Wolf Children has more emphasis on the kids growing up and discovering who they want to be. 

Both involve a parent raising their child (or children in Wolf Children) whilst overcoming their own personal issues. It's difficult to say exactly how similar the two situations are without giving huge spoilers, but they're pretty similar. Also, both series have a fantastic soundtrack and incredible animation, and they're both extremely emotional watches. Chances are that one or another might make you shed a tear at some point. And if you were left with somewhat of a void after watching either CAS or WC, one of these will probably fill it. (Bear in mind, though, that if you're going to watch After Story, it might be an idea to watch Clannad's first series first). read more 

Everyone takes away something different when watching a series. When I think I found a new favourite, I really ask myself, what was so great about what I just watched? What about it moved me so much? I ask myself that of Clannad: After Story (CAS) and Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (OK). CAS and OK have very sad and poignant moments. OK has the saddest opening I've seen to date. CAS made me cry at the end. Without revealing the plot, tragedy strikes and the story telling is very well done in both. Raising a child has its ups and downs and this is well captured in both. There is the ineffable cuteness of a child, the difficulties of raising one and finally the satisfaction of seeing them grow. This aspect is well captured in the narratives and you really get to share in the emotions of parenthood. So, if you watched one and felt really emotionally moved by the sad moments and parenting, you will no doubt enjoy the other. read more 

Both anime have a heavy focus on real-life struggles, though with a bit of magic sprinkled within the plot. They're also massive tearjerkers with somewhat ambiguous endings, though Wolf Children's is less controversial. And finally, both of them are about learning to continue hoping and carry on, even in the darkest of moments - wonderful art pieces of inspiration and love. 

Both have similiar topics the importance of family and the struggles of adulthood. Also both have a fantastic soundtrack and incredible animation and they're both extremely emotional scenes. If you like it,you will definetly like the other 

One of the hardest things in the world can be raising a child. It only makes it worse when said person is struggling with life already as it is. These statements are well presented in the stories Clannad After Story and Wolf Children. The struggling parents Tomoya and Hana go through a majority of ups and downs in their seemingly lives full of despair. And whilst they go through parenthood, they too, proceed on a path to go over new lessons in what being a parent means. Both are great visual pieces with heartfelt moments around every corner of the movie. 

Easily two of the most heartfelt stories to be released in the past decade. With honest characterization and light fantasy/sci-fi elements, these stories are able to tell extremely deep, memorable, and emotional experiences that few other films can rival.  

Maybe time can separate people. Maybe backgrounds can separate people. For a few that is the case. For Your Name and Wolf Children, that is not the case. Even with the differences in where people come from, or the literal boundaries time has on us. Both stories go to show that even these circumstances can be defeated. Your Name is the odd relationship of Mitsuha and Taki as they go through inescapable body switches, and how that draws them together. Wolf Children is about Hana’s relationship with the anomalies of literal Wolf Children. Both are great movies with amazing visuals, and elements of supernatural in both of them  read more 

Stunning in visuals, story line and overall production value, if you enjoyed Your Name, you'll love Wolf Children. Each film tells a beautiful story, with great aesthetic and design value along with it.  

When you like another really good Anime Movie then watch Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, it´s about Family and the everyday problems of raising Werwolf kids as an Human Mother. 

Family. Wolf Children and Mirai both follow children who are ignorant of their surroundings and only think about themselves. Though in time, they grow and realise their past mistakes. Though not the most similar in anything other than those terms. They are still bringing the most out of it. Both are good anime movies made by the same studio; Studio Chizu. And the same director; Mamoru Hosoda.  

Mirai was not only developed by the same studio, but both films share similar themes. 

- Both feature families with two children and parent(s) who are struggling to balance raising them with their other responsibilities - Both focus on the children’s struggles growing up with changes in their lives - Both feature fantasy / magical elements - Both involve several time skips (albeit for different reasons) - Both are very touching, particularly towards the end - Both are stand-alone films requiring no prior watching 

The outlier in the family. Wolf Children and Somali and the Forest Spirit both follow guardians/parents taking care of the oddity in the world they situate in. Forest Spirit being about Golem caring for one of the outlied race of humans, Somali. Wolf Children is about Hana raising the literal wolf children Ame and Yuki. Both are also single parents/guardians. Both are great fantasy-drama anime about the parental guidance one can give to the stranger beings that lurk within society. 

The two revolve around the concepts of family relationships, parenting, and fantasy as a cherry on top with a premise of both the parent and the child learning valuable lessons as they encounter memorable experiences with one another. As for my opinion, the two are one of the shows that hit too close to home. What I mean by that is both are relatable, and I enjoyed every part of it. Hence, I recommend both to anyone who also appreciates these kinds of stuff. 

Both anime are my favorites and why I love them is that I get this soft feeling in my chest while watching them. They are full of this gentle love and though it is a bit tragic, it leaves you with that gentle warm sadness that actually makes you feel weirdly calm.  

Four-legged family. Wolf Children and She and Her Cat: Everything Flows are both around the relationship between something with some animal in them and a human. Wolf Children is about Hana and her literal half-human half-wolf children, whereas She and Her Cat is much less supernatural with a human and a cat relationship; Miyu and Chobi. Both are good s.o.l anime about how bonds can be formed even with the scaled differences that exist. With Wolf Children being more dramatic, She and Her Cat is more romantic.  

If you enjoyed the countryside living in either of these two films, I think you might enjoy the other, as the themes are similar in some ways. Both movies uses nostalgia as a central theme as well. 

Both deliver refreshing countryside vibes but also depict the hardship of living there. Even though the protagonists had different reasons to leave the city, both chose to do so because they felt it wasn't the right environment for them. 

Both are great visually-pleasing movies that have great art and animation, and focus on the relationships between parents and children. Both show human parent(s) raising supernatural children and dealing with the struggles that life presents. Both have coming of age elements, as well as focus a lot n natural environments, creating a very similar atmosphere. 

Both are coming of age stories, about the struggles of growing up, and not being able to fit in, thinking you belong somewhere else. They take you on an adventure with fantastical elements, exploring the identity of the main characters, from when they were born, to their teenage years. 

Wolf Children and Ponyo are alike with both having the theme of a parent left with the responsibility of caring for two young children. 

Half and halves. Ponyo and Wolf Children both follow human caring for a hybrid of humans and some other creatures. In Ponyo, it is half-fish half-human. In Wolf Children it is half-wolf half-human. Both are great visual works about how people aid others even with the little power they themselves have in the first place.  

Integrate. Wolf Children and Kiki's Delivery Service both follow people who must integrate into this new life trek they have embarked on. Wolf Children does this with Hana's family having literal wolf children within, and the literal struggles that go with it. Delivery Service does this with Kiki and her time in training as a witch in town she migrates to. In addition to this, Ame, Yuki and Kiki are all undergoing practice for the real world order with Ame and Yuki needing to understand where they are in society and how to control themselves, and Kiki needing more practice in order to become a better witch. All three of these journies, start to end, are written well. Even Hana who is significantly older than the three undergoes her lessons to better herself as a mother. Everyone is learning. Both are great family anime fantasy movies. Wolf Children feeling much more dramatic than the more chilled Delivery Service.  read more 

I believe anyone who's seen A Silent Voice will enjoy Wolf Children too, they both have the same almost depressing feeling to them. Hana (the main character of Wolf Children) struggles with being a single mother which is already hard on its own but is exacerbated by the fact that she is the mother to two half-wolf, half-human babies that she has to try her hardest to hide from the world. It has the same vibe to how Shoya (one of the main characters in A Silent Voice) struggles with self-acceptance and loneliness, both these movies are incredible and worth checking out. 

Do I really have to tell you what's similar. Pretty much both have wolves as the main protagonists and it details how the characters struggle with their identity and pride with choosing to be wolf or human.  

This animes have both half-human half-wolf characters.In Wolf Children, the kids father is a werewolf and in S&W Holo( she's a female) has wolf ears and wolf tail.I think they are both good animes. 

✓ Both the anime primarily focuses on parents and child relationship. ✓ Both the anime are very emotional with perfect conclusion to the story. ✓ Both try to convey same massage through their emotional storytelling. 

Loss. Violet Evergarden and Wolf Children both follow female protagonists with someone they had lost someone special along the way in their lives. From this point, both protagonists begin to teach themselves and understand how this new view on the world works without the help of their dear ones. Violet Evergarden is the journey of Violet and her solo quest in finding the meaning to the Major's "I love you". Wolf Children is the single mother Hana and raising literal wolf children. Both are great visual works about growing to understand what life throws at you. 

The secret people. The Secret World of Arrietty and Wolf Children both follow protagonists who care for the secret abnormal beings they are associated with. Wolf Children is Hana being a mother for the literal wolf children Ame and Yuki. Arrietty is Shou protecting Arietty and her family from the dangers of some humans. Both are great anime about that even though there are differences in the different kinds of species that live, there can still be bonds built. 

Both are about a family trying to establish a new home. It’s also just as good as this movie  

Both are astounding and excellent films that both target the tribulations and hardships that can occur in a family environment as well as the jubilant conditions of it. Though colorful also focuses on friendship and romance too. 

Extremely similar premises, where other species in disguise in a human world have to fight and survive to keep their identity a secret.  

This is similar because its animals and its slie of life and fantasy. i perfer to you guys to watch them 

Both have somehow peaceful overall feeling, also the countryside setting is similar. And of course, both are worth watching!  

A girl fall in love with a mysterious and lonely boy that is indeed not a human (werewolf/youkai). When she discovers his secret she still decides to stay by his side. Love wins, but with there will be consequences... Very good animations and sad-romance feels in both films. 

Beast and man. Whilst having varying plots, Princess Mononoke and Wolf Children both have similar ideas when it comes to the relationship between man and animals. Princess Mononoke takes a more pessimistic view which shows the constant conflict between the two races. Whereas, Wolf Children is much more optimistic though it uses half-half beings in a family with humans. Both are great visual masterpieces about the two sides relationships between man and animals can bring, being the good side and the dark side. 

Although both anime don’t share the same atmosphere. Tokyo Ghoul and Wolf Children centre around the ominous people having to hide their true identities due to the actions the outside world would take upon them. Tokyo Ghoul’s dark atmosphere of "eat or be eaten" world makes student Kaneki have to hide his ghoul form with others like him. Wolf Children’s more light-hearted atmosphere brings forth a coming of age story for literal wolf children and how they must cope with the world who could perceive them as threats. Both are good anime with varying atmospheres, one being unsettling and gloomy action horror, the other being a nice little drama s.o.l for a movie. read more 

These films have some plot differences, but they are both about wild animals that can transform into humans and vice-versa. Fantasy with a bit of drama, and have foxes and wolves in them. One movie is Korean, while the other is Japanese. 

For me, the most similar point of these titles are the protagonists, Tooru (Fruits Basket) and Hana (Ame to Yuki). Hana goes to college, apparently with the sole purpose of getting a man, bearing his children, and raising them. For the kids, she does everything, and supports them in everything, without ever expressing any opinion or wishes for herself. Apart from being her kids' supporter, she seems to be interested in nothing else. Tooru acts as the self appointed slave for the Souma family, who does not even ask for food and shelter or anything, and never complains.
