If you loved Saint Seiya: Legend of Crimson Youth, try Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn

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 Shigeyasu Yamauchi, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Action / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Saint Seiya: Legend of Crimson Youth, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

foreign gem

What Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn is

You patrol the Other World, a bored ogre. But then souls surge, a nightmare blob appears, and havoc erupts. Good and evil clash. Yamauchi's film plays with Akira Toriyama’s tropes, but its villain has a surreal edge. One wonders what the franchise might have become.
