If you loved Shashinkan, try Palme no Ki
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Takashi Nakamura, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shashinkan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Palme no Ki is
The boy-meets-world anime where a wooden kid gets the wrong ghost mom and a one-way ticket to the city of lost stuff. A small puppet chases a strange messenger through neon markets and rain-soaked alleys to learn if his stitched heart can ever belong to anyone. Takashi Nakamura’s 2002 throwback rides its retro synth score straight into the uncanny valley.
