Chibi Maruko-chan: Watashi no Suki na Uta
|
Both are family slice of life stories from the viewpoint of an elementary school aged girl. Both have drama and a fairly large cast involved in it. Both excel in showing emotions and evoking empathy in the viewer. Maruko-chan's story is on the happy-go-lucky side with an intact family, Chie has some poverty related social commentary, darker themes, and a less intact family.
