Just Friends (1999 film)

NOTE: before you say something like "1998 is over" or "you weren't even born yet", I know there's no way this would've come out then. This is as if this film did exist in 1998 in an alternate timeline.Just Friends is a 1998 Japanese-American animated coming-of-age slice-of-life film. It is the film adaptation in another timeline of the upcoming novel, Just Friends: 1990s mode, a prequel to the novel of the same title of this film.

It is influenced by school life anime with a darker tone, also sporting an animesque art style.

In late 1995, Ciera and Araceli, two 12 year old girls, start 7th grade, about to discover the wonders and awkwardness of middle school. Enzo, Ciera's younger brother who is going into 5th grade, starts feeling insecure about himself.
