If you loved The Moment You Fall in Love, try I've Always Liked You

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 Tetsuya Yanagisawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Moment You Fall in Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What I've Always Liked You is

The sakura trees outside Sakuragaoka High shake out petals like confetti for everyone’s crushes. Natsuki practices confessing to Yuu, who takes it for real advice, and Koyuki silently gathers his courage behind the bike sheds. Three hearts orbit one honest “maybe.”
