Ocean waves anime review12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() It feels sad, bittersweet and nostalgic-a good way to describe the film overall. It's always portrayed as romantic ending up with a childhood friend/school sweetheart based on your shared history but at the end of the day, the person you're ending up with is not the person you're fondly remembering. It's a refreshing take how I used to go for this type of romance when I was younger but looking at it now, it seems shallow and toxic when forced. I don't see much value for the guy wanting to be together with a girl who obviously didn't change much. He got roped in and got dragged into her affairs during HS but they're adults now. But good thing the movie ended openly and more vague than that bec obviously I think the main guy could do better. I get why the main guy would feel sentimentality esp when he finally acknowledged his feelings for her and got the closure he needed from his dear friend. Like it didn't occur to her he might just come back which the main guy obviously did. Like why would she visit the main guy in Tokyo when she's obviously just been invited to a class reunion. But still, her impulsiveness and not thinking straight about anything is still there and just made me facepalm heavily □♀️. Ocean Waves has the childish charm of studio Ghibli but also the mature storytelling of Tomomi Mochizuki and with it comes, the beautiful visuals, the wonderful art style, and the usual notoriety that is embedded in every Studio Ghibli film but the movie feels, unfinished, it leaves a colorful trail of a promising narrative but eventually leads. I would understand why she would feel sentimentality towards the main guy when the reunion was brought up. She did show potential for maturity when the main guy called her out in the hotel room about her coffee shop bs. Despite her being a biatch it's not like she's not redeemable. However, I agree that the main girl didn't change much at the end of the movie which is meh I guess. Morisaku Taku and Matsuno Yutaka are best friends when a girl from Tokyo named Muto Rikako transfers. It's a realistic take how egoistic teenagers are and how small their world can be. Ocean Waves is high school love story set in Kochi, Japan.
