If you loved Her Blue Sky, try The Anthem of the Heart

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 Tatsuyuki Nagai, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Her Blue Sky, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Anthem of the Heart is

One tiny larynx becomes a narrative lockbox after childhood verbal sabotage. A mute heroine learns language through song instead while some classmates insist on harmonizing with her life choices. The only thing louder than the soundtrack is the sound of a concept straining to carry an hour and a half.
