If you loved The Garden of Words, try Suzume
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 Makoto Shinkai, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Garden of Words, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Suzume is
Mountain town, cherry blossoms falling, a rusty door. A young girl and a mysterious man collide, the earth shudders, Japan teeters. Shinkai's fantasy world is as fragile as adolescence.
