If you loved Kujira no Chouyaku, try Ginga no Uo URSA minor BLUE
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Shigeru Tamura, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kujira no Chouyaku, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ginga no Uo URSA minor BLUE is
Null Void meets The Old Man and the Sea in space. A boy and an aging starfish-herder pilot a rickety sky-barge through the Milky Way’s back channels hunting a leviathan that swims in the color of dying suns. One fluorescent oddity carries the whole melancholy trek.
