Children of the Sea

When Ruka was younger, she saw a ghost in the water at the aquarium where her dad works. Now she feels drawn toward the aquarium and the two mysterious boys she meets there, Umi and Sora. They were raised by dugongs and hear the same strange calls from the sea as she does. Ruka's dad and the other adults who work at the aquarium are only distantly aware of what the children are experiencing as they get caught up in the mystery of the worldwide disappearance of the oceans' fish.

Comparisons are less on the story level but very strong on the visual spectacle of both movies. Both leave you with the sense you "get the gist of what's happening" but never the full picture, even explanations for both get very complex and in-depth interpretations but in a sense, they're products that could be looked at very straightforward.

It could be said that both have an SoL beginning while the development feels very distant from that, almost like it's trying to overwhelm the audience. Talking about the audience it seems as though they leave with an ethereal feeling after watching the films, meaning something that strikes them as heavenly (spiritual) or supernatural.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0

Jujutsu Kaisen 0

The one-shot pilot of the supernatural exorcist adventure Jujutsu Kaisen! The story takes place a one year before Itadori's time, focusing on his upperclassmen at Jujutsu High--Maki, Panda, Toge and Yuta Okkotsu (the MC). In Jujutsu Kaisen, we don't see Yuta, but other characters often make reference to him and the incidents that occur in this volume. Yuta's been brought in to Jujutsu High by Satoru Gojo because he's been cursed by his childhood friend, Rika. But this is no ordinary curse as she's classified Special Grade. And because of her overwhelming strengh, Yuta doesn't know how to control or use her. Meanwhile, Suguru Geto is out to get Yuta Okkotsu, specifically targeting Rika to add to his own collection of cursed spirits he controls, setting up a showdown with his best friend-turned-enemy, Gojo

Basically the same topics in both movies. The main character befriends people with similar personal circumstances and seeks acceptance and a place where they feel they 'deserve to live', the fights against an absolute evil that opposes their ability to maintain such relationships, and daily life is wiped out in a trepidant carnage style battle where the main character has help of their supernatural homonculi (humanoid mecha / curse spirit) —very high-quality animation movies.

Kotetsushin Jeeg

Kotetsushin Jeeg

The year is 2025. Fifty years ago, Queen Himika and the evil Jama Empire attacked mankind; Kyushu, Japan, was their battleground. Ultimately an event caused fog to surround Kyushu, effectively cutting it off from the rest of Japan; and the mainland has lost contact with it ever since. In the present, students like the motorcycle-loving Kenji Kusanagi have little knowledge of these events, except what they learn in history books. However, when Himika and her Phantom Gods appear once more, Kenji finds himself in the middle of the battle - and a cockpit. Now, as the pilot of the mecha Jeeg, Kenji and a few unlikely classmates must battle the forces of evil and save the world!
