If you want to see as deep story with similarly good animation, these both series are for you! Both are family friendly classics which can touch your heart even though another one is a fairy tale and another one base on the true events. You can't be too old to enjoy these both!

Both series started and ended in the same year and have the same number of episodes. They have a very similar atmosphere and animation in some places. Even though they are made for children, there are still sometimes quite dark and deep things in them that very young children may not understand. They are also not afraid to show a little violence. Also, both of these are, at least in the undersigned's opinion, even better than the original 60s adaptations.

Well, both are tales mostly for kids, but older person also can enjoy the story. Also they have the familiar style like Disney tales.

While watching Wolf Children, I was often times reminded of the old Anime Jungle Book Shounen Mowgli. Not only because of the similar topics (albeit in reverse settings), but because it deals with the same struggle that Ame and Yuki go through, which is finding their place in the world, a topic which Wolf Children only seemed to brush, while Junglebook highlights this theme. In the Junglebook anime, Mowgli's struggle between finding his place among humans or among nature is very lovingly illustrated. And while Junglebook is not as much an Eyecandy as Wolf Children is, it is still a very awesome series to watch.

While 'Jungle Book: Shounen Mowgli' centres around a wild boy fitting in with the jungle and its' animals, 'Ginga Nagareboshi Gin' centres more around the animals (specifically Gin). With both anime's there is an element of friendship between man and animal, and both main protagonists are learning what it means to be what they are, and how to survive against all odds. I highly recommend both anime, especially to avid animal fans.
