Does anyone know any good Asian films similar to Linda Linda Linda?

I'm finding it hard to find any other genre except horror. 😢 >:-(

I'm just looking for anything sweet and shojo-y...

Sweet and shoujo-ish...hmm
Have you seen 20 Pound Beauty? It's quite good.
*My Sassy Girlfriend *is good too if you haven't seen it 😛

The director of Linda Linda Linda did another film I really absolutely loooooooooooove, called, "Tennen Kokkeko" or a " A Gentle Breeze in the Village" based on a manga by Kuramochi Fusako.

I'd definitely urge you to watch that. It's worth your time.

Also another one would be Shunji Iwai's " Hana and Alice," with Aoi Yuu and An Suzuki.

I don't know if this will fit the same genre, but Kamikaze Girls is a great (and humorous) film also.

Well, it not really sweet,but shoujo-y..i think.
Its 1 Litre of Tears, really sad but worth to watch! Its based on a true story.
You should also try Lavender [<--Taiwanese]
or you can try Hana-Kimi,its based on the manga.
i've got more,so if you wanna know more,just ask.
