If you loved Padak, try Asura

What they share
Theyboth carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Padak, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Asura is
Kyoto’s winter. A child’s ragged breath fogs the charred beams of an abandoned temple. The boy survives on scavenged rice and feral instinct until a monk’s quiet steadiness offers a fragile tether to humanity—just as his wrath stirs again. A Meiji-era fable of violence and grace, rendered in stark ink-and-wash animation.
