Mamoru Hosoda's acclaimed 2018 film Mirai has arrived on Netflix, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The movie follows Kun, a spoiled young boy, whose life is upended by the arrival of his new sister, leading him to discover a magical garden where he can travel through time and meet his family members from different eras.
Produced by Studio Chizu, Mirai earned significant international recognition, including nominations for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. It was the first non-Ghibli anime film to be nominated for an Oscar in that category. While its MAL score sits at a respectable 7.28, its critical accolades highlight its unique storytelling and artistic merit.
The film is a poignant exploration of family, sibling rivalry, and the passage of time, told through a blend of everyday life and fantastical elements. Its relatively short runtime makes it an accessible watch for those seeking a touching, visually rich animated experience.
