Kimagure Orange☆Road: Ano Hi ni Kaeritai

When a man has to decide between his long-time pursuit and capricious pastime once for all, which one should he choose? And how should he stick to that decision, letting go of whimsical fun for good? While Kasuga Kyosuke had to decide between Ayukawa Madoka and Hiyama Hikaru, Fuse Kazuki had to decide between staying with Kerberos Squad to the bitter end, or leaving the past away together with Amemiya Kei. The former had none of Kerberos' blood shed, only tears shed and hearts broken, with steel resolve and city pop soundtracks to get through it all. While on the latter, it involved the future of a nation, during the time of furious revolution and conflicts in both state apparatus and wider society. Life have never been simple - especially if one has decided what actually matters for his life. How he sticks through it all with the decision he has taken - makes a man complete. read more 

If you enjoyed this movie, which is essentially Kimagure Orange Road without the off-beat sci-fi elements, you will almost certainly enjoy Maison Ikkoku, also produced in the 80's which is in many ways the same type of story, told over a much longer timespan (96 episodes!) Despite the length, it's very much worth it!
