If you loved This Boy Caught a Merman, try Those Science Freaks
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
Theysit in Animation / Fantasy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to This Boy Caught a Merman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Those Science Freaks is
A high school romance unfolds not over shared lunches but over competing lab experiments and half-baked robotics. Haruki, obliviously charming, gets caught between Airi’s clanking contraptions and Ayana’s bubbling beakers—each club more determined to win him than qualified to build anything that works. The real spectacle isn’t the science—it’s how well three teens pretend not to like each other while accidentally inventing disaster.
