Mirai no Mirai

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 

both are focused on kids and family issues as well as really nice to look at art and character designs too. 

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms and Mirai have an interesting connection. They both focus on children who end up disliking what their family has to bring about. Promised Flower follows long-living Iorph Maquia and human Ariel living together even with Maquia knowing the consequences of doing so. Mirai follows a jealous Kun and tries to do everything in his power to take back the love from his little sister Mirai. Both are good anime movies with simple, but appealing visuals. Promised Flower being a fantasy in comparison to a real-world wich Mirai gives.  

Grow to respect. The Boy and The Beast and Mirai both follow children who hate their current lifestyle, due to this, they are set on an experience that will truly change their mind on their standings of life. Boy and Beast follows unruly Ren pairing up with an also unruly Kumatetsu learning to live with each other despite constant arguments. Mirai is the same with Kun and his parents, who are more responsible, however, in that Mirai is the centre of the arguments. Both are good anime movies made by the same studio; Studio Chizu. And the same director; Mamoru Hosoda.  

Family. Or at least, the relevance they have. There is no major point of crossover between Mirai and Summer Wars, with one being more thought-provoking than the original developed story you get in your movies with a plot. However, both movies come and explain why family is important. Summer Wars does this in a more elusive manner with it being the major reason why the strength of Natsuki's family can push forward so hard. Mirai is more obvious and blatant, with an envious Kun wishing ill on his new sister simply because she exists, thus taking all of the love. Both are good movies that aren't all the same but have a similar trope that is looked at from different angles. Heading into both without finding one dumb or the other boring requires an open mind. If nothing else, they are both directed by a legend no other than Hosoda Mamoru.  read more

Time. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Mirai both follow individuals who go through the power of time. Through this, these MCs understand how their selfish wants aren't don't give the best outcome to a particular situation. TokiKake follows energetic Makoto through a series of time leaps to make sure things go her way. Mirai follows a covetous Kun trying to understand his sister and his family through time travel. Both are good anime movies about how a naive MC ends up learning from some fantastical force. Both also have the same director Mamoru Hosoda.
