Synopsis
The Relative Worlds (あした世界が終わるとしても, 2019) is a Japanese animated feature you can watch online on iFILM. The setup: two parallel Japans exist simultaneously, and anyone who dies in one world takes their counterpart in the other down with them.
High schooler Shin has grown up alongside his childhood friend Kotori. Their world cracks open when Jin — Shin's double from the alternate Japan, where Kotori is a despotic princess — crosses over with orders to eliminate her. The leads are voiced by Yuki Kaji and Maaya Uchida.
Director Yuhei Sakuragi packs two separate tonal registers — quiet teenage romance and hard-edged action — into 93 minutes. Whether that compression works is the dividing line between audiences that leave satisfied and those who don't. Stream The Relative Worlds (2019) on iFILM.
