Ami, a backpacker from Japan who is four years older than high school student Jimmy, shows up at his part-time job. The two end up spending the summer working at the same store, but Jimmy gradually develops a faint crush on Ami. The two of them grew closer as they rode motorcycles together at night and went to the movies, but suddenly, Ami decided to return to Japan. Ami proposes her "one promise" to Jimmy, who can't sort out his feelings. As time passes, Jimmy visits his parents' house for the first time in a while and finds a postcard that Ami sent him 18 years ago when she returned to Japan. Jimmy's memories of his first love come back to him, and he takes his first solo trip to Japan to confront his past and examine his present. Jimmy rides the train while listening to songs that remind him of his memories with Ami, and he heads to her hometown. Will Jimmy be able to reunite with Ami?
Set in the year 2200 A.D., the story unfolds in a future where human migration to space and advanced technology enable memory manipulation. Naoki and Mayumi, who live in a luxury floating residence in space, are the perfect couple that anyone would admire at first glance. Mayumi enjoys ceramics as a hobby, while Naoki is devoted to his own research. They are a peaceful, ideal couple who enjoy elegant music, cooking, and dining in the dining room. However, their true nature is the distorted love of the husband, Naoki, who seeks revenge from his wife who used to love him back in the days when he used to love her, and repeatedly turns her into an android to pursue and recreate his own ideal. This psychopathic suspense romance depicts a "form of love" that could happen anywhere in the near future.
both start with the initial same genre, mob BL drama/movie
but then they take two different routes :
you want short the feel good, get off your screen happy and optimistic for the world then pick exhibit A. Long Time no See
If on the other hand you aren't afraid if investing more time and emotions and diving a little deeper into the pessimistic world, on the risk of heartache, Yet! still has an eventual satisfying ending , exhibit B. Moon Child ( Warning : Hyde and Gackt are your leads in this one)
Both with an amazingly high rewatchablity - I know I've been rewatching Moon Child sense I discovred it circa 10 years ago, and I still revisit it once a year
I may have just stumbled upon Long time no see, but it's an easy rewatch as well, if just to see those two look in each other's eyes and hold hands so cutely!! .. maybe I should save a gif of that as a phone background ;?
