Coming soon, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience a captivating film narrative with a unique ending that focuses on the romantic genre, specially curated for them. Doesn’t that sound intriguing?
Two films, “I Send You All My Love, The One I Loved” and “I Send You One Night, The One I Loved”, will soon bring forth an immersive cinematic experience, relying on the most authentic elements of the original works. Regardless of which film they have watched before, viewers will still be familiar with the works that have been carefully crafted, incorporating meaningful insights about love.
Adapted from a fantasy light novel by the author Otono Yomoji, the two films belong to the “I Send You” series, set in a parallel universes context where individuals can travel between different dimensions. Each version of the protagonist lives in a distinct parallel world, showcasing different lifestyles, personalities, and relationships.
The two films share a common backdrop, featuring shared characters and a unique love story that compels viewers to watch both works to gain a comprehensive understanding. The characters in the two films can traverse between dimensions. From the outset, they bring emotions from one universe to another, crafting a love story that overcomes the barriers of space and time.
The central character in both films is a young man named Koyomi. The two films explore Koyomi’s character from his teenage years to adulthood, with different romantic stories that remain interconnected.
What makes Koyomi particularly special is the narrative structure that hints at his destiny in a parallel universe. However, whether he intervenes in that fate or not, and whether his life is influenced by these “other versions,” is a decision that ultimately rests with him.
In the universe of “I Send You All My Love, The One I Loved,” Koyomi is known as Koyomi Takasaki. After his parents’ divorce, Koyomi lives with his mother and becomes somewhat reclusive. The male lead, who hasn’t made any friends, unexpectedly meets his classmate Kazune Takigawa.
Kazune is a talented girl, charming, confident, and strong-willed. However, she often speaks of a peculiar story. She comes from a parallel universe with 85 different realities. In that universe, Koyomi and Kazune are lovers, or eventually become partners.
In the universe of “I Send You One Night, The One I Loved,” Koyomi is now known as Koyomi Hidaka and lives with his father after his parents’ divorce. The fateful encounter leads Koyomi to meet Shiori Sato, a girl who shares a similar background. They grow up as childhood friends, but as they mature, deeper emotions begin to develop.
However, the reunion between Koyomi and Shiori becomes increasingly complex. Wishing to escape the awkwardness of childhood, both decide to seek a different parallel universe, where they do not have to be siblings.
From the initial information, this anime duo has already sparked significant interest among anime lovers worldwide. They are often recognized for their romantic narratives, offering two endings filled with distinct emotions based on viewers’ experiences of both films.
What’s remarkable about this anime duo is that both have individual storylines but maintain a deep connection. There are no definitive versions; each version is an alternative.
It is also not uncommon for audiences to choose different endings to the same story, similar to the “interactive” films in cinema, like Clue (1985) or more recently, Late Shift (2022). The difference will resonate from the moment viewers decide which character’s story to follow first, and which to follow afterward. When they grasp the interconnections of the two stories, they will be immersed in a profound emotional experience, potentially evoking feelings of happiness, nostalgia, or even bittersweetness.
Officially debuting in Vietnam on February 10, 2023, these two anime films, “I Send You All My Love, The One I Loved” and “I Send You One Night, The One I Loved”, will be the perfect choice for couples and anime fans who cherish romantic narratives with “different cuts” that leave a lasting impression.
