I want more stories like that! Most of the good same-sex stories I’ve seen either have a tragic ending or have so much drama inside them that it’s very interesting to watch, but hard to watch. And to be honest, I'm tired of seeing that. So I started looking for pieces that were as romcom-like as possible, but not too comical. And I faced a problem. To find among the already small number of works about LGBT+, where the center of the plot is love, something positive - this is an extremely difficult task. There are very few such films.
Meanwhile, the anime 'Stranger by the Sea' is exactly what I need. Kind, sweet, positive, touching story, not devoid of meaning and plot, which tells about quite understandable life circumstances. The story is simple and, I think, very predictable. But that simplicity is the reason I like this anime. The story is not without the experiences experienced by the main characters, and these feelings were close and understandable to me. Somewhere I was touched, somewhere surprised or worried, and maybe at some point even a little worried about them, and also ... very much admired, because the picture is very beautiful, the cartoon is painted perfectly, and sometimes, I did not even have time to look. A very pleasant drawing only adds a feeling of coziness and kindness when viewing.
I would really like to see more of these kind of positive and kind films / series / cartoons ... in general, it does not matter what - the main thing is that you can take your soul away, relax without worry when you want to watch a story about love. So probably 'Stranger by the Sea' is now my benchmark.
