Singan Singan says...

While Elemi no Koi has a simpler and less tragic story, in essence both of these anime are sad tales about impossible love between a human and a nonhuman. So, if you like that type of stories, check them both.

Tales of a Street Corner

Tales of a Street Corner

Life unfolds in the most unexpected places. Story of a Street Corner follows the bustling activities of a street corner, but not the ones you would expect. A hungry mouse, a moth desperately seeking the food caught in a spider’s web, and a love triangle unfolding between the posters lining the street are all depicted with an original musical score as the only sound.

Singan Singan says...

- both of these short movies take place in the street and feature inanimate objects as characters;

- both are dramas;

- both involve a love story either as a main plot or a subplot;

- both employ animation techniques that make them look different from usual anime.

So, if you liked the one, try the other too.
