They\'re from the same director, so you can expect the style to be quite similar. 5cm doesn\'t have the whole sci-fi element involved though... at least not as it stands after the first episode.
They are both work done by Makoto Shinkai. Both have similarly beautiful animation styles. Both movies have similar stories in that both main characters are separated by an obstacle (either distance or time) that interferes with their love for each other. The two main characters in both movies also haven't been with each other since they were young.

As often said before this is by the same director and about friends being seperated over a period of time. It\'s drama and also a little sci-fi.
Both movies are similar in many aspects. Both are slice-of-life-ish (though The Place Promised strays from that path a few times), and the main characters are two childhood friends, a boy and a girl who have been separated for a long time. They have a distinct feeling of calmness to them, similar character designs as well as gorgeous art and animation. Both are directed by Makoto Shinkai, which is more than likely the reason for this similarity.
They both are rather short and has these 2 or 3 parts where the action goes to another point of view or to another time. The romance and drama is outstanding in oth of them, so if you're in for those genres, don't miss these two out ;)
Both movies explore the notion of overcoming the distance between lovers. They are both directed by Makoto Shinkai and expectedly have brilliant artwork and backgrounds. They both incorporate a slice-of-life genre into the film and would be enjoyable to anyone looking for a moving romantic movie.
Like The Most Recommendations Say. Both Are Makoto Shinkais Work. If You Ever Seen One He's Works Before. You'll Understand it. Truly Both Are Really Beutiful Drama Romance Stories.
Though 5CM Per Second doesn't have that Sci-Fi element in it, both deal with similar development and animation throughout the series, of course, both are done by the same guy.
It looks like one story from one studio. This same graphic. Colors. Everything.
Both have the same director and a similar art.
But Kimi no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho have more science and technology.

A beautifull love strory of three friends. Same director, same wonderful artistic design, not as realistic as "5 cm per second", but excelent anyway .
Same drawing style and similar characters. Both are great and worth watching. Even thought "Place promised..." is a bit more apocalyptic they still match each other perfectly. If you liked animation, characters and landscapes of "5 cm/s" then you will definitely like "Place promised in our early days" .

Both are created and directed by Makoto Shinkai. The special effect shown in both animation are very detailed. Moreover, the love story is often wrapped with dreams and reality. Both story are very touching. Hope you will enjoy watching them.
Very similar anime, and both are masterpieces! Amazing animation and sound, and in both anime there is a touching and very emotional story, even though sadness is a common thing. Aside of that, the ideas of the stories are very nice, and the characters as well. In general, if you've watched one of them, you definetely have to watch the other one, but I'd say both are a "must" in everyone's "watched" or "want to watch" list!

Both of these films were directed by Makoto Shinkai, so they're bound to be similar.
Both involve people who were friends in childhood but have now grown apart.
5 Centimeters Per Second is, in my opinion, a far superior film however.

Made by the same people, with a great dramatic.. even slice of life story.
Great similar Art style, sounds is great. Although I think 5cm per second is more melancholic than Kumo no mukou.. I think if you like one you'll like the other
Made by the same director, beautiful animation and sound. If you enjoyed 5 centimeters per second, be sure to check out this great film as well.
The main focus on both is unrequited love. The importance of trains play in the imagery is also shared.
Similar and fantastic animation in both.

Both films are by the same Director Makoto Shinkai, they also have one of the best animations, the Soundtrack is incredible for both films, giving memorable melodies made with Piano and Violin.
The characters are similar and history shows us romances with opposite ends.

The pleasant and poetic slow pace, the great emotionality of each moment depicted, the use of warm light throughout the stunning scenery is something I appreciated in Beyond the Clouds and which I found again the same way in 5 Centimeters per Second.
