If you loved Ballad, try Space Battleship Yamato
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Takashi Yamazaki, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ballad, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Space Battleship Yamato is
You flee underground to escape a ravaged Earth, but then a capsule from Iscandar brings hope. The director Takashi Yamazaki sets this sci-fi adventure in a desperate 2199.
