If you loved She and Her Cat, try Voices of a Distant Star

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 Makoto Shinkai, and they both carry the cozy, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to She and Her Cat, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Voices of a Distant Star is

Here's a film that takes long-distance relationships to a new level. In 2046, Mikako enlists to fight aliens, leaving Noboru behind to mark time on Earth. Our protagonists then attempt to maintain their connection as she flies further and further away. It's certainly a story.
