If you loved Uchu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Space Squad, try 009-1: The End of the Beginning

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 Koichi Sakamoto, and they sit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Uchu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Space Squad, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What 009-1: The End of the Beginning is

You're a cyborg superspy working the front lines of a still-raging Cold War. But a series of escalating conflicts exposes a conspiracy. Sakamoto lenses the action like live-action anime. The film pulses with kinetic energy.
