A young boy met his little sister from the future (Mirai no Mirai - 2018) [Anime Recap]

Hi All Metanimers!
Today Meta Anime is going to explain an animated drama film directed by and written by Mamoru Hosoda called Mirai (未来のミライ - Mirai no Mirai ).
In a quiet corner of the city, four-year-old Kun Oota has lived a spoiled life as an only child with his parents and the family dog, Yukko. But when his new baby sister Mirai is brought home, his simple life is thrown upside-down; suddenly, it isn't all about him anymore. Despite his tantrums and nagging, Mirai is seemingly now the subject of all his parents' love.
To help him adapt to this drastic change, Kun is taken on an extraordinary journey through time, meeting his family's past, present, and future selves, as he learns not only what it means to be a part of a family, but also what it means to be an older brother.
Hope you enjoy this video.

It's a good movie, but it's unsatisfying that the boy was the one who adjusted for his family. His parents should have addressed the real issue of their child feeling abandoned after having a new sibling. So, even if I like the kids, the parents are pretty lacking themselves.

[@cookiediangelo8511]

Perhaps, but that’s how real life works. However unfair it is, you can’t change other people. You can only change how you act.

[@Saturnius]

@@cookiediangelo8511 yeah, and in that way it's actually showing a more realistic circumstance (quite ironic for the time travel stuff in the movie) than what most of the KZbin commenters think. What you think is often not how things work.

[@mustafaercumen3187]

Yes this movie good for family values but it ignored the fact that children with new siblings can feel alone and parents should spend time with them even it is talking

[@SanjanaKumari-os7qu]

Exactly.... I despise the fact that every one calls out Kun as spoiled. He is a mere child... He just needs attention of his beloveds like Mirai. Being an elder sibling is tough, the day you have someone younger, your parents start treating you differently (less like a child) the new child comes with overwhelming responsibility that they feel fed up of their first born. Why anyone would want a 3 year old to understand how it feels like raising a child. It's not their problem...

[@helloguys9049]

@@SanjanaKumari-os7qu I get ur point of view but it's not easy taking care of a new born do u realise they don't even get enough sleep of course it's not the child fault but Everyone have to grow up at some point tats the way life is everyone gets their own time to enjoy being ignorant and pampered...of the child is his first time being born then it's also the parents first time being a parent too. But I do agree parents shouldn't have favorites among their children

[@SanjanaKumari-os7qu]

@@helloguys9049 indeed, but no one grows in a day.... Children hold grudges for something so small to you in their adulthood. And yes, there is a good solution to it... Either avoid having extra children when you aren't prepared enough to deal with two tht u eventually end up neglecting one or have good gap between the two till one grows little more sensible (say of 5-7 years old)

[@helloguys9049]

@@SanjanaKumari-os7qu for a long time i was the youngest in my family even among cousin but as time goes by new members will be born and of course they will start having most of the attention and ya sometimes I would be jealous but I like the fact that this kids will look up at me like I did to my elder siblings..with younger siblings comes a sense of responsibility to do better and also come making a person more mature and i don't think adults will hold grudges for a little things unless they are still a child in mentally or else they will try to put their themselves in other's shoes to understand

[@SanjanaKumari-os7qu]

@@helloguys9049 You cannot advocate for everyone I suppose. You are happy in your situation and I am really happy for you... However in the movie itself the boy grows distant from everyone as he becomes a teenager.. Not every child is same... I agree one day we all have to realize our responsibilities sometimes even at a tender age, but not at an expense of feeling unseen or invisible or unwelcomed... People are slowly realising this, and looking forward to a better change, I don't want depressed and silenced adults who are lost and have no one to talk to.... (You can't deny this) Childhood trauma is a real thing, neglecting one for other or showing favoritism can have consequences in later life. Here in the story however, the boy had very nice parents who seek out to him from when needed (when the mum appreciated him for learning cycle) we need more of them... Yes raising a family is hard sometimes your child may still feel left out but it's never too late to make up to it. ❤

[@muskankhanna7108]

His great grandfather was so handsome and a really nice man 🙂😘💜 love the fact that he got to marry the love of his life

[@-indigo_blues-4903]

Don’t really understand all the “he’s gonna be spoiled as an adult,” when from, what I understand, he isn’t paid attention to, until he succeeds at something cool? He only acts out bc they refuse to see him until he does? I don’t wanna say he’s neglected but he sure as hell isn’t paid attention to. Love the message, just wish the parents shared their attention between the sibs rather than just Mirai. (Haven’t seen the movie, just saw this)

[@jamestolbert1856]

Yes, the parents should’ve paid more attention to him, but they were going through a lot of pressure. And his need for attention doesn’t change the fact that he hit A BABY 👧 nor does it justify it!

[@sanjanaunni8205]

moral of the story: be prepared to be ignored once a new sibling arrives

[@ud.18]

no

[@suchitradas7442]

Good Parenting is a tough job....it takes time and patience....parents are humans as well...sometimes little to no experience of how to deal with new-born babies or toddlers till they have a child of their own ...not understanding child psychology can be a common occurrence ...making mistakes will be a natural event as well....parenting is not like a smooth ride ...

[@mgigachad3170]

As a younger brother I am sorry to my brother

[@shilocks]

As the oldest of the four.....had my hard times but never was lonely

[@I.n_2]

​@@mgigachad3170why?

[@sarahhamed4496]

Ok but the little yell the kids did to each other at the end was too cute. 🥺

[@faith3003]

In my point of view the adult boy don't have a good relation with his sister and mother cause they never tried to understand what he was going through and as the future sister said it's his fault fou being rude as that is what the parents and grandparents told miso it proves that they never tried to involve him in their life as before and no the bycycle and praise all that was after he visited past and future so the actual future that remained same where he was neglected and no one tried to understand why he is hyper or why he is throwing tantrums.

[@Jecykshaji]

Exactly ❤️they blame the little kid. Parents can make and break siblings relationship.

[@rideka]

watching this recap as the older sibling just makes me mad. parents should not have more than one children if they can't pay equal attention to all of them. the movie must have been created by either an only child or a youngest one.

[@Raidmasterprod]

I have the same feelings as you do. I became a big brother when I was twice Kun’s age, to a baby sister. An eight year is certainly more independent than a four year old and can handle similar situations much, much better without trauma.

[@SH-zh8eh]

@@Raidmasterprod Not only the lack of attention but the fact that my parents consider that my lil sibling could do no wrong and whenever something happens it's always my fault like the time my sibling deliberately set me up by crying for no reason and immediately smiling behind my parents back when they scolded me. It was just pathetic. But now it has become better with a third child in the house I'm witnessing all the things my sibling did to me being done by my third sibling to her. Karma man.

[@vianjelos]

Its worse for a middle child. You get left out constantly because you arent the first or last to hit milestones or do something.

[@vootvoot9180]

Ikr

[@Misakigi]

Mirai no mirai is made with Japanese family/cultural values which are the exact opposite of American ones. The conclusion seems to support that Mirai adjusts his behavior to create familial harmony (like how the tree is the "index" representing their entire family's timeline). This is extremely Japanese, where everyone is taught to focus on the big picture and be always aware of how their individual voice should be united with the collective voice of the community. By comparison, an American version of Mirai would have had the family realize "they were in the wrong" and changed their behavior, thus emphasizing Mirai's autonomy as a human with his own feelings despite his young age. You can also see this in the way people respond to stories. I can't remember the exact study that was done, but psychologists showed the same images/video/story to Japanese and American high schoolers. The Japanese students pointed out the big picture elements but were unable to correctly remember the main actors of the scene. By comparison, the American students pointed out the main actors and story, but couldn't correctly remember the contextual details of the scene. Not saying there's a "right way." Just pointing out why some of the non-Japanese commenters are reacting in certain ways to this film and its message.

[@Girl95szia]

This is an important comment. Thank you. :)

[@fabulousme1364]

In India we would look at both I.e while keeping our individual voices we try to understand the bigger picture and our place in it

I was thinking that their parent should have make conversations with him from time to time, acknowledge his feeling and talk it out

[@AntejaP]

I remember seeing this in theatres, I've been thinking about it every now and then and never could remember the title, I can't believe I finally found it after 4 years

[@EarleTKG]

“Anime where boy meets his sister from the future”. Seems pretty specific and easy.

[@bluestone707]

I've been looking for a Japanese movie where a boy could transfer an injury from another person to himself by touching them. But man, I no longer had any idea what to type on Google to find it anymore. 😩 It isn't an anime btw.

Saw this in the theater with my girlfriend and a couple friends at the recommendation of another friend who couldn't make it. I swear it was a setup! This film was 90 minutes of screaming children! My nerves were on edge by the end and I was so glad it was over.

Just shows that you're not ready to have children. I found this movie beautiful.

More like “a” screaming child

[@mariatrujillohueso7729]

The first time i watched this movie was during a Film Festival, the original version with subtitles. A bunch of parents saw that it was a "Cartoon" movie and brought very young children, who could not follow the subtitles and got scared and cried at some points of the movie. Then the parents loudly complained about the movie not being "appropiate" for children. Because of this, i did not like it that first time, but when i rewatched it, i loved it!

[@masontheredrabbid6611]

Kun Mother sacrificed herself to save kun from getting in trouble

[@Jecykshaji]

Exactly when new baby come parents give them more attention. Older will feel alone and left out. They are still little too.

[@atsukorichards1675]

The traditional dolls are taken out to be displayed just for Hina-matsuri (Doll's Festival/Girl's Day - March 3rd). Some people say that the daughters will get married much later in their lives than they like if the dolls are not put away right after the festival. A little bit different from what she explains in this video.

[@victoryv116]

Lol his grandfather was hot 🔥🔥🔥

[@frankmuscular]

Great grandfather

[@at8951]

This is what happened with me and my elder brother the only difference is we were not lucky enough to see what our future would hold and ended up abandoning each other and it's been almost 8 years since we haven''t talked to each other.. He's my only brother and it's because of his rude and humiliating behaviour that it all happened. I don't regret that we cut off each other. My only regret is that we are not that kinda kids our parents always wanted to have. They wanted us to be together no matter what but this is what meant to be happened as we cut loose from each other.. sometimes, it pretty hurts to be a part of family you no longer belong to..

[@missfly4406]

I kinda relate to this film a lot. My brother used to be a lot jealous of me, my parents would give all the attention in the world to me. This made my brother angry, and he would often try to physically harm me. He was just 3 years older then me, and this went even after we both entered our teens. Watching this made me quite emotional.

[@your_grandma2441]

This kid even though bratty but it's normal for their age. But it's hard for the mom too

[@lim_edits]

I feel like this anime is about appreciating all the things like every time he is angry or throws stuff he is transported in the past n given lessons to appreciate everything!!💝

I honestly don't understand why a bike park wouldn't have pathways to ride on. You can't ride a bike on grass!

[@Kalani_Saiko]

They were riding it on the grass so that when he fell off (which is inevitable when using a bike without training wheels for the first time) it wouldn't hurt as much.

[@vianjelos]

You can but its not good to learn on. The ground is uneven and there can be holes or small pits in the dirt. My mom tried to teach me to ride without training wheels by pushing me down a grassy hill full of trees and roots..obviously I didnt learn that time. My cousins actually taught me how to ride...on an actual side walk as it should be.
