If you loved Kick-Heart, 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 sit in Animation / Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kick-Heart, 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.
