Chibi Maruko-chan: Watashi no Suki na Uta addpermalink

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.

They both focus on a male single parent and his struggle to balance work with home life. They also have a focus on comedy, and are really wholesome too.

Jarinko Chie (TV) addpermalink

The Movie tells events from Chie's life in a more or less linear way.

The events of the movie are covered in episodes 1 to 10 of the TV series, but the TV series adds slices of life of other characters too.
This is more expanded upon in the later episodes: The action takes place in various intermittant strings focusing on various characters. These are mainly Chie and Tetsu, but also other persons like Hirame, Mitsuru, Yoshie, Tobita, Masaru and others get their own plot strings. These plot strings may be paused, their "arcs" may not start and end at the same time, and there are usually various strings in different stages of progress at the end of each episode. It is the first title in the MAL database I know that uses this narration technique (despite being quite common in real live TV).

So I would recommend the movie as what may be called "linear" slice of life focusing on Chie, and the TV series as "soap opera" slice of life telling the story of an Osaka neighbourhood over the seasons.
I like both titles, but the TV series more. read more

Tonari no Yamada-kun addpermalink

Both are movies by Isao Takahata, about the life of a family including members of 3 generations.

I personally like Jarinko Chie much more though. Especially Chie and her father have backstories, characteristics and interests, and I could relate to them well. It also has some sort of an overarching backstory that drew me into the film. I had actually a good laugh, spiced with some sadness every now and then.
On the other hand, Tonari no Yamada kun was a collection of unconnected stories. The characters seemed to be equally shallow to me, with their personalities reduced to some superficial quirks. At maximum, I smiled every now and then.

In any case, both films are different takes on the family movie genre. read more

Wakaokami wa Shougakusei! Movie addpermalink

In these movies, the protogonist is a grade school girl asprining to take over (Okko) or practically having taken over (Chie) the family business in the field of gastronomy.
Much of the screen time is taken by day to day events of the protagonists, which are only loosely connected, if at all. The action can also jump rather abruptly in time between events.
The movies also feature a supernatural element, as Okko deals with ghosts, and Chie with talking intelligent cats.
The protagonists have to deal with a difficult family situation one way or the other. But they are headstrong, and progress in life.

Seeing both these movies made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. read more
