![]() Skip it, you won't be missing out on anything. I honestly can't recommend this film to anyone. The film should have made me care more about them and their connections to each other since it is a more quiet character focused story but it failed to deliver especially when it came to the protagonist Taku. The characters were very hard to connect with which just made it that much harder to sit through. bring anything new to the table and fails to hold interest. The story does feel realistic enough it just doesn't ![]() The film picks up a little near the late middle with the promise of some conflict or drama but none of the larger plot points feel like they land anywhere significant. It doesn't satisfy a slice of life viewing or a teenage drama viewing and I'm not entirely sure what Ocean Waves wants to be if not one of those two things. It looks and sounds nice enough and the story isn't flawed but the entire experience is all together very boring. I went into this movie with low expectations and even those weren't met. It is clear that the clever Rikako has long outlined a “prey” for herself, but will she have the patience and desire to wait until fundamentaly slowpoke Taku understood what's what?Ī wonderful, light and bright romantic comedy from Tomomi Mochizuki, which does not try to pretend to be something big, but honestly tells the real story of quite real, albeit drawn, people. So Taku has already graduated from high school and, a year later, as a student at the University of Tokyo is going to a graduate meeting. And this, I must say, happens not only to him retroactively - when he comes to a belated understanding and really wants to fix it, but it’s impossible, it's too late. It is easy to guess that Taku has a long way to go through various troubles, tests of fidelity to his comrade and righteous anger at Rikako, until he understands his feelings. And now, after a long time of complete ignore on the part of Rikako, she calls from an airport. Rikako cheater, having stolen a Taku's friend, now also took his precious savings. Reluctantly having parted with the hard-earned nth sum of money, the hero suspects that they will never be returned to him. And all because the talkative fool in love Yutaka blabbed to the object of his sighs about Taku's earnings. So, a little resigned to the inevitable evil in the form of the kidnapper of the heart of his friend, Taku receives a new blow - Rikako asks him for a loan. It seems to him that the metropolitan beauty will take his friend away and ruin such a Therefore, when his friend (Yutaka) falls in love with the clever and beautiful new girl Rikako, Taku begins to be a little jealous. Firstly, Taku, though a smart, faithful and principled person, is a little slow-witted or, better to say, not particularly fond of changes, including in relationships. In general, the main character (Taku) does not particularly bother with his love affairs. Those who are waiting for gasps and a melodrama are better off passing by. Also the main character chick is slightly racist lolĪ love story in a high school. I know it's an old movie and all but they really didn't put much thought into this one when they were making it. without thinking much of, but who the hell lends an almost stranger a shit ton of money, then goes to some other bigass town on a damn PLANE with them just because for the sake of it? It doesn't make no god damn sense. Second, why are the characters so gullible in this animation? I know it's just a lil ghibli studio movie that I can watch But now I'm just confused as to what this movie wanted to offer. This movie is just plain shit, I don't understand what kind of lesson(s) they're trying to give out to the audience but I didn't receive any awe from this movie whatsoever.įirst of all, wtf is this story? The beginning was ok because it seemed like one of those relaxed movies that I can get into a good mood after watching it.
