If you loved Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, try Lu Over the Wall

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 playful, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lu Over the Wall is

Another day, another town full of superstitious fishermen learning music saves lives. A sullen teen in a fading seaside village befriends a chirpy mermaid who sings J-pop with alarming enthusiasm. The animation wobbles like it’s seasick, but somehow the whole thing stays afloat.
