If you loved Inu-Oh, try Ride Your Wave
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 Masaaki Yuasa, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Inu-Oh, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ride Your Wave is
Hinako’s surfboard is a metaphor with training wheels in this seaside romance. She tumbles into love when a firefighter carries her from flames. The wave that carries them forward eventually learns gravity.
