If you loved Broken Blade: The Path of Separation, try Broken Blade: The Time of Awakening

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 Nobuyoshi Habara, Tetsuro Amino, and they sit in Action / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Broken Blade: The Path of Separation, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Broken Blade: The Time of Awakening is

You're an anomaly on Cruzon, unable to wield the era's ubiquitous quartz. But your defect becomes a weapon when war erupts. An antique golem awaits a pilot like you. The Athens invasion looms. Director Amino's steampunk dystopia takes cues from *Heavy Metal*, alluding to mecha anime's curious taste for medievalism.
