It's focused on problems that seem very petty compared to most anime, whose plots contain sweeping melodrama and constant twists and turns, and thus is rather more relatable, for what that's worth. Kochi is your average coastal town on the sleepy, idyllic island of Shikoku and young Taku is definitely your average high school student. I guess it is in a way, since fewer people tend to mention it and I don’t believe it’s had a dub just yet. It's a story about normal people living their normal lives.

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. Ocean Waves is a teen romance with a love triangle, which is where much of the drama comes from, though there are a few comedic moments too (like the bathtub-as-bed offer).Ĭompared to other Ghibli films it’s perhaps a little slight, being a bit shorter (as most TV movies are) and having a fairly narrow focus in terms of its story, but it’s still quite lovely visually. ![]()
