If you loved Magic Boy, try The Orphan Brother
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 Taiji Yabushita, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Magic Boy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Orphan Brother is
Here's one for the children. Two siblings are separated and enslaved after their father runs afoul of local authorities. Years later, the surviving brother rises to prominence and seeks justice for the family. It's more fun than it sounds, I promise.
