Both are summer stories taking place in the Japanese countryside centering a young girl with the ability to speak with spirits and both are really lighthearted and touching.

In both "Miyori no Mori" and "My Neighbor Totoro" there is a child who wanders into the forest and meets the spirits in there. 
report Recommended by IceWolf
The importance of the natural environment are major themes of both these works, although Miyori no Mori carries more of a fairytale and child-friendly ambience about it.

Both involve shapeshifters trying to scare humans so they will stop them from destroying their forest.

Both movies have young protagonists who see spirits. Both protagonists have to find their place among these spirits and play a great role in protecting their territory. 
report Recommended by Lopika
The theme of coexistence of humans and nature is prominent in both these animes. 
report Recommended by Al_Sleeper
Both movies are about somewhat bratty girls who have to move to a new place where they end up maturing with the help of the spirit world.

These two animes have Protagonistas (Anna and Miyori) with similar personalities that will grow emotionally during the adventure that awaits them during the movie ... 
report Recommended by Rising_Sun
Troubled city girls are involuntarily conscripted to be magic-wielding guardians of nature. Their greatest nemesis: humanity. Both shows have a strong environmentalist theme, which they present holistically: a condemnation of current society, a prescription for change, and a call to action both individually and collectively. Miyori is a lighter, family-friendly coming-of-age story; Arjuna is darker and more intensely focused on conveying its message.

Both anime feature a young girl as main character and her connection to the spirits of a specific forest. Hotarubi no mori e is romantic and focusing more on the connection, while Miyori no mori is more about finding one's place in the world. 
report Recommended by Lopika
In both anime there are children, young girls, who come to the countryside to live with their grandparents, encounter with spirits and eventually resolve some problems by becoming more adult.  
report Recommended by Ploom
Surprisingly, both have similar themes about protecting the town and countryside from urban development, in both cases a dam, and both inolve the supernatural to a degree. 
report Recommended by Archaeon
You see many common areas between Miyori no Mori and Gin'iro no Kami no Agito - especially the theme of protecting the environment one is living in. There is a lead character with a 'sacred' duty to safeguard what is important.  
report Recommended by puedjies
Both involve dark haired girls with strong spiritual senses, dams, rural settings, and supernatural creatures. 
report Recommended by Archaeon
Both are movies that involve the relationship between spirits and humans, and both have rural settings. 
report Recommended by Archaeon
I don't make this recommendation because the stories or characters in these two anime are alike, because they aren't. However, anyone who liked the beautiful, eastern landscapes and forests of one of these titles, will enjoy watching that of the other. It's obvious that quite a lot of effort was put in creating these settings and making them look appealing. The existence of spirits is taken for granted in both these series also, which goes well with the forest-theme.  
report Recommended by Blanchette
A human is unique in their ability to speak with spirits. Similar atmosphere and pacing. A person who enjoys one should enjoy the other. 
report Recommended by Cren
Both involve magical spirits and creatures natives from japanese culture and a child who needs to understand and learn the importance of their people and lands, which they need to save from the threats of malicious humans and selfish creatures.
