Both center around the effects on the general public of Japan in the Hiroshima region losing WWII. While "Kono Sekai" (briefly in the beginning) tells the story of a young girl becoming a woman who then gets married off, "Hadashi no Gen" begins just a few days before the fateful bombing of Hiroshima and heavily shows the aftermath of the atom bomb. (Disclaimer: I mean TRUUULY heavily, do not show this to kids or if you can't handle some pretty gnarly stuff) Both films show some pretty gruesome stuff (especially Hadashi no Gen) but also have some light hearted moments throughout (both films have bittersweet endings)

Also set in the countryside. Both are very tranquil and relaxing shows that don't follow any overarching plot.
