Suzume no Tojimari

Both are cute heart warming stories, finding love along the way :3 

Both has a similar beggining of a girl meeting an older men and helping him, which changes both of their lives 

CUTE ROMANCE STORIES THAT MADE ME SHED TEARS. I LOVE MY HINA AND MY SUZUME.  

From a certain perspective, "Suzume" is a sort of like a spiritual successor to "Children Who Chase Lost Voices." A girl goes off in an adventure with an older, male protagonist with long, dark hair who's involved with an academic profession. The two films feature supernatural elements, and a journey that would eventually lead our main characters into the land of the dead. A main character is haunted by memories of a lost loved one who died before the events of the story. However, the two films aren't directly connected in the same way that "Your Name." and "Weathering With You" take place in the so called "Shinkai-verse." read more 

VERY similar protagonist, right down to the intended profession, although a few years older in Roujin Z. 

Actually, just about everything in Suzume is exceptional. A Whisker Away starts off with an adorable premise, a socially awkward girl named Miyo kept failing to catch her crush's attention, but she finally succeeded after transforming into a cat and earning Kento's caring arms. Except Kento doesn't know that the new stray he adopted was Miyo. So it was a Catch-22 situation for Miyo; does she keep being a cat to stay close to Kento? Or does she reveal her true self to help Kento with his problems? Regardless, the transfiguration and the cats would be a welcome sight and notion for anyone still hung up on Suzume. Here are some of the best anime movies to watch for those who love Suzume. ✅Josee, The Tiger, And The Fish ✅Howl's Moving Castle ✅Your Name ✅Drifting Home read more 

• both are mystery fantasy • sub-plot romance (main in bubble) • action takes place in modern japan (idk if in bubble it's modern or not but yea) • i personally think after watching both that they're similiar & you should like the other one if u saw any 

Both feature a high school girl going through supernatural occurrences, with mundane moments sprinkled throughout. They have a similar feeling of wonder and refreshing-ness, with some bittersweet moments.  

When I watched this movie a few days ago, the later scenes gave me Ghibli Film vibes IN A GOOD WAY. This movie has some of the elements that reminded me a little of Spirited Away. The animation to this movie is good too. Well, Makoto Shinkai is a highly respected figure and director in the Anime industry and community so its not a big surprise where the praise of people talking about it is true. Though Garden of Words is still my favorite Shinkai film, Suzume no Tojimari is still a good watch. Bring your friends or family with you when watching this.  

- both take place in the summer - both have drama - both have romance - both have magical gates connected to the past 

Long-haired dude and doors 

Mysticism involving portals (cracks) to another dimension or parallel universe. Dragon-shaped smoke protecting the portals.  

- Both feature magical wooden chairs that come to life (yes, really) - Both have a female lead - Both feature friendships between the aforementioned chairs (identified as ___ no isu) and the main girls - Both show moments from the MC’s childhood and as a teenager - Both are ‘coming of age’ stories (although Suzume no Tojimari is obviously more detailed) 

Both are Whimsical Adventure Films That Are at Their core More About the Hearts of their Characters than the fantastical Journey. and how the Journey Effects and Changes Them Along the Way.
