Dragon Heart: Reikai Tanbouki

During a summer visit to Tokushima, junior high student Ryusuke unexpectedly reconnects with his cousin, Tomomi, leading to a fateful encounter on the Anabuki River. A sudden flood sweeps them away, plunging them into an otherworldly experience. Rescued by a dragon, they are introduced to an enigmatic elder who reveals a startling truth: they are deceased and must undertake a journey through the spirit world to discover their purpose and potentially regain life.

The duo finds themselves in a decaying, retro-styled town plagued by unsettling phenomena – scenes of violence, medical horrors, and endless cycles of death and rebirth. As Ryusuke and Tomomi navigate this nightmarish realm, they confront the harsh realities of a landscape seemingly steeped in suffering. Their quest to understand their existence and fulfill their unknown mission promises a challenging exploration of life, death, and the enduring search for meaning.
