Japanese animations suitable for families with two children

Vicenta 2022-04-19 09:03:16

As the father of the second child, watching the entire animation is very warm and happy. The construction of the second child scene is meticulous, and the life scenes of ordinary Japanese families are also drawn very realistically, just like a trip to Japan.

Each little story is triggered by a little emotion from the older brother, which is then extended to each family member. It is not so much a story of the future as it is a story of growth, because both the future and the time of growth point in the same direction. The future is the growth of the whole family. Dad will be more and more able to take care of children, mother will get rid of her bad temper, brother will learn to be sensible, and sister will grow up. Even great-grandfathers and puppies are getting better.

It is a story of hope in which the future is certain and represents growth and happiness.

I have read a lot of Japanese picture books for children. There are beautiful coloring pictures and love stories in the picture books. After watching this animation, I will feel like I have finished reading a set of exquisite picture books.

Mirai quotes

  • Father: This is your baby sister, Kun.

    Kun: Sister?

    Mother: Isn't she precious?

    Kun: [gasping in amazement] She is.

    [pokes his finger against her delicate hand]

    Mother: You have to be gentle with her.

    Kun: [gently takes hold of the baby's hand; she opens her eyes]

    Father: She's awake. I think she's staring at you, Kun.

    Mother: Come on, her eyes can't even focus yet.

    Father: Well she sure looks like she's staring to me.

    Mother: You must always be nice to her, okay?

    Kun: Okay.

    Mother: And you have to protect her no matter what.

    Kun: Yeah.

    Mother: Always.

  • Mirai: You did it again. You tried to hit me with your bullet train even after Mom told you not to.

    Kun: But it wasn't a bullet train!

    Mirai: You aren't supposed to use a bullet train to hit people.

    Kun: It was a Super Azusa.

    Mirai: [angrily] I don't care what kind it was!

    [scoffs]

    Mirai: And why can't you be a little nicer to Mom?

    Kun: I don't know, I just can't.

    Mirai: It's her one day off from work. She doesn't get many and she has to spend it fighting with you. Come on, try.

    Kun: [sniffling] I know... I'm not cute.

    Mirai: Huh?

    Kun: [crying, wipes tear from his eye] Both Baby Mirai and Yukio are really cute. Not me. I know I'm not that cute anymore.

    [continues sobbing]

    Mirai: Oh come on, that's not true. You're very cute!

    Kun: [walking away]

    Mirai: You're the cutest! Adorable!

    Kun: [crying harder; runs away]
