Mai Mai Shinko to Sennen no Mahou

The art is strikingly similar. Young Okajima Taeko's face of Only Yesterday looks a lot like Aoki Shinko's (of Mai Mai Miracle) face. 

Mai Mai Shinko to Sennen no Mahou and Non non biyori are great anime with a countryside setting and a great group of friends that Experience adventures together. For my opinion both of these anime are great to watch with your family and they also kid friendly to watch.  

These two movies build upon the country side people and their environment. Both movies about childhood memories.  

They both revolve around the past, which is based on the protagonist’s imagination. And the past helps the main character(s) in their present life. 

Although Air would be superior in that regard, both are great picks if you're looking for a relaxing summer vibe with detailed and realistic scenery, summery sound effects, a chill OST and a slice of life pace. The stories are also similar. Both are about a new person arriving in some small country town and meeting, then befriending a air-headed girl who feels a strong, somewhat supernatural bond with people who lived 1,000 years ago. Both MCs get involved in the girl's obsession and both shows have flashback arcs featuring characters from 1,000 years ago. Both also feature drinking scenes, school, an expanding group of friends and a fair share of drama near the end. read more 

Both of these films are set in the countryside of Japan and portrays the imaginative world of their characters. They present the quite life of two sisters around the same age. They have the same peaceful atmosphere and the focus on the beauty of nature. There is also a very similar scene in these two movies during the sunsets. They are both suitable for kids. 

Two summer stories about the life of a child/children in the Japanese countryside. Both with small supernatural twists, but very light hearted. 

Both films are set in postwar Japan and explore the relationship between its traditional and modern society. 

Both are stories involving children struggling with their present lives while having visions that extend through time.
