Nobody talks about Anpanman movies because they're easy to dismiss as kids' stuff. This one is pure comfort, a character you've known forever suddenly needs you to care about her in a new way, and the movie just lets that feeling sit. Kokin-chan's desperation is real even when everything around her is soft and silly. You watch a bread superhero solve an actual problem for someone who matters, and it lands because Anpanman never pretends to be anything bigger than what it is.
Sore Ike! Anpanman: Kokin-chan to Aoi Namida is a 2006 comedy and fantasy movie.
