Can't really properly compare the two in more detail since Ookami Kodomo is pretty clear in my head right now while it's been a couple of years since I last rewatched tokikake but I think this film is better, if only by a little. I think The Girl... had a couple or so scenes which were more "spectacular" so to say, because the story allowed for it. In general this film was more Slice-of-life-y.

Oh, one interesting thing I noticed, as a parallel between the two if you like, was the scene where the children's father/Hana's lover then, was running to meet her and the layout and animation kinda reminded me of the Tokikake scene where Makoto runs for a long while. I don't know if it's an intentional "reference" or just similar because the director likes doing this kind of "action" (although I don't remember other Hosoda films besides this and Girl who leapt through time that feature one like this) but it sort of struck me as one. Kinda like, "ah yeah, there was something like this in girl who leapt through time too, right?".
