Well, it's not Japanese animation but Taiwanese animation. Some Korean animation features (My Beautiful Girl Mari, Wonderful Days,Yobi the 5 tailed Fox) don't have the typical facial features that you see in Japanese animation either.
Telling a bittersweet story about a relationship thru a camera lens is probably very Japanese. (A guess since I can't read the print) VOFAN is being compared to an early Makoto Shinkai.
