If you loved Natsume Yuujinchou : Utsusemi ni Musubu, try Vers la forêt des lucioles
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Takahiro Omori, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Natsume Yuujinchou : Utsusemi ni Musubu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Vers la forêt des lucioles is
Summer sunlight filters through forest trees, a small girl's footsteps quiet on the mountain path. A young boy materializes, his presence fragile as the girl's touch could make him vanish. Takahiro Omori tenderly balances fantasy and longing.
