Tokyo Godfathers

The style of Kure-nai immediately put me in mind of Satoshi Kon's work, especially in the character design (not only the art-style, but how well-developed the characters are). Both of these anime have people from less-than-perfect circumstances raising a child as well. 

Even though the stories are entirely different, one about saving a baby and the other about saving a town, in the end the ones who are truly saved are the main characters that fought to protect what's important to them. Tekkon Kinkreet is just as heart-warming as Tokyo Godfathers.  

Usagi Drop and Tokyo Godfathers are both about people who are unexpectedly put in charge of a kid, and come to love that kid. Usagi Drop is less dramatic, but they both are very heartwarming. 

Both have similar narratives with a group going on an "adventure" to help a lost individual with their 'goal' 

While one is an absolute tearjerker and the other is one hell of a comedy, they deal with inexperienced people attempting to raise a child, and the hardships that might come with it. 

Both anime explore the themes of "found families" and feature societal outcasts taking care of children cast aside by their parents. Both of these anime could also put you in the Christmas Spirit as the first and last arcs of Buddy Daddies are set at Christmas and Tokyo Godfathers takes place on Christmas Eve.  

Similar in it's depiction of those living on the edges of Tokyo society, teenage runaways and homeless, as well as the environment they live in. 

How is this similar to Sennen Jojuu? It's how the dots connect one after the other. 

Two amazingly well produced movies with one theme in common: reconciling with others. 

They have similar fast pace dynamic and high Hollywood influence.  

Vastly different themes yet really really similar world-building. Akira is more extreme for sure, but for how grounded they are in reality, all the chaos and horror in an ‘apocalyptic’ city is very uncanny of one another. The plots are both fairly crazy as well. 

Durarara is an anime that full of plot twist, and Tokyo Godfathers itself is the god of anime plot twist 

Both of these movies made me laugh and cry. Sometimes I couldn't stand what the characters were doing. However, as the movies go on the characters grow and change discovering new things about life. Even if the plots are different, both movies are about a second chance at life and that's what makes them special. 

Both Cowboy Bebop and Tokyo Godfathers are both very character-driven stories. 

Both created by the genius called Satoshi Kon. Tokyo Godfathers doesn't have the same psychological theme and it doesn't have the acid trip style, but they both leave a smile on your face. A heartwarming story about some homeless people finding a baby.  

Kotaro Lives Alone and Tokyo Godfathers have sentimental stories that blends comedy and drama and that feature a disparate group of adults taking care of a child under usual circumstances. Kotaro Lives Alone is definitely a hidden gem that is overlooked likely due to the artistic style, but anyone willing to give this anime a chance will find themselves surprised by this touching story. Tokyo Godfathers is a well-known movie, but it is still far less popular compared to any highly rated anime series likely due to its realistic and mature storyline. I encourage you to consider this recommendation as your next anime if you're interested in found families.  read more 

Both these films are grounded in a reality close to ours, and the animation reflects that, from the backgrounds to the character design. In addition they both use fantastical events, science fiction in one and a magical realism in the other, as a device to explore deeper human relationships and to a certain extent causality. They are both charming stories told with a light touch that don't try to hit you over the head with their themes like so much else out there. What they lack in similarities of genre, they more than make up for in similarities in tone, atmosphere and mature (as in intelligent) storytelling. read more 

HR is a heartwarming, quiet and smooth anime. So TG is, but you get more humor, action (in the end of the film) en plus, but you won't get angel-girls, yeah i know that's a pity. In HR AND TG characters have to face their shortcomings and to overcome them. To tell the truth, these two animes are completely different in drawing, setting, plot, world and so on, but they are very close to each other in a spirit way (it may be a wrong word,so please, forgive me): you can feel love and creators' soul coming out from both of them. And, whem i whatched them both, i can say i have a similar impression of them. Also, it's as good a time as any to watch a Christmas movie, and TG is one. So go and watch Tokyo Godfathers, i know you'll like it. read more 

Anzu an esper child ends up living with a group of homeless people, although her story is the side story of Hinamatsuri. It shows a sympathetic story about a group of homeless people. Tokyo Godfathers is about 3 homeless people who find a baby on Christmas.  

Both Tokyo Godfathers and Welcome to the NHK! have hilarious characters while also having a pretty serious overarching plot that shows how life can beat you down. While TG is more serious for the most part, NHK focuses more on comedy. However, it has its fair share of melancholic episodes too, especially towards the end. The color schemes are similar, with a lot of gray and black to emphasize the feeling of loneliness. These are both anime classics, and if you like one of them I'd have to imagine you will like the other. 

Similar atmosphere. Both have child protagonists, and the adults' actions are perceived through the child perspective. 

Both was produced by same studio (Madhouse). and both tell about family bond .even though wolf children is more fanstasy and tearjerker. On the other hand Tokyo Godfather has funnier storyline.
