Best Anime of November 2018 You Should Watch
Mirai
Mamoru Hosoda is a name well-known in the world of anime; the director behind critically acclaimed films like Summer Wars, The Boy and His Beast, and Wolf Children. Hosoda’s latest film is hitting theaters at the end of this month, with Mirai.
The movie focuses on a 4-year-old boy named Kun, who feels forgotten by his family with the arrival of his baby sister. Kun stumbles upon a magical garden where he meets his future sister, Mirai, as a teenage girl who has traveled back in time to meet him. Together the pair embarks on a series of adventures, which end up helping Kun cope with his new reality of living with a baby sibling.
Mirai’s whimsical setup promises yet another emotion-filled Hosoda film, and his trademark animation style is once again used to bring the film’s world to life. Hosoda has a stellar lineup of work so far, and every indication points to Mirai being one of his best films yet.
Mirai hits select theaters on November 29, but will also have showtimes on December 5 & 8. You can purchase tickets now and find showtimes via the film’s official page on GKids.
