If you loved Ryo, try Brave Story
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 Koichi Chigira, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ryo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Brave Story is
A quiet Tokyo afternoon, textbooks tossed aside. Wataru and his friends hunt for ghosts in the skeleton of a half-demolished school. Mitsuru presses a brass door knob that shouldn’t exist; beyond it, a world where fate is tendered like coins. A director steeped in 1980s anime magic delivers adolescent wishes with barely a wink.
