Jan 6, 2020 thefoolsorchids Recommended I normally don't write reviews and forgive me if my thought process is all over the place. This review will contain spoilers (kind of) as well as my own personal experience, so please bear with me. This is my first review. When I first saw the trailer for this film, I thought it would be another romance anime, but it was more than that to me. I'll start with the six points and why I scored them as such. I hope you enjoy this review. And even if our opinions differ, I'm glad I was still able to share my experience with you all. Story ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 18, 2019 roankun Recommended The showing date for Tenki no Ko was announced the day right after I booked my flight to Japan, and that showing happened to be just a day after my flight back. In pure frustration, I decided I would watch at least one anime movie while I was there, and that happened to be this: Kimi to Nami. After seeing only the trailer, I didn't really have much expectation for this other than a sappy, supernatural love story, but it was surprisingly good. The story was simple, the characters were easily relatable, and the music was fantastic. I still find myself humming BRAND NEW STORY every ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 13, 2020 yxckson Recommended You can make something groundbreaking by doing nothing groundbreaking and everything else really damn good. Just a quick heads up for anyone who may want to watch this movie: DON'T WATCH THE TRAILER. The trailer for some damn reason spoils the entire movie and makes it not near as intriguing to watch. I'm glad I didn't watch the trailer until after the movie. I am just blown away about how surprisingly spectacular this movie was. Looking at the score and the reviews, I thought this would either be a disappointing, boring ass movie like Shikioriori or a real solid, heartwarming movie like Summer Wars; and it was ...

Jan 6, 2020 Hatul Recommended Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara or Ride Your Wave is Masaaki Yuasa's latest film and coming from a long time fan of his, I'd say this is probably his weakest one so far. But even his weakest work makes for a great watch that's enjoyable and has at least some interesting things about it. Before watching this film it's best that you know what you're in for so that you'd be in the right mindset. This is a relatable and sweet (if cheesy and a very fairy tale-esque) portrayal of young love which then turns in to a story of overcoming loss, letting go of ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 29, 2024 LizzyAce Recommended Great anime that takes you on a ride (ha, get it) of emotions, I personally do not like romance or sad anime's but this one made me actually shed a tear, I highly recommend it, it is not for the feint of heart though. It is beautifully written as well as drawn, the visuals compared to most anime's is astonishingly better and easier to the eye. The storyline does keep you interested throughout the whole movie, as someone that has a hard time focussing on one thing for an extended period of time this was very relaxing and easy to follow all whilst keeping my ...

Feb 20, 2020 VictoriaLoves Recommended Holy Cannoli, does this movie have an Opening. Almost immediately out of the gate, we're thrust into an intense, high stakes situation that not only gets your blood pumping but sets the stage for everything else to come in the story. You get a very clear picture of who are characters are, what they're like, and just what kind of movie this is going to be. Personally, I was enthralled from start to finish. Invested in the characters, in love with the story, impressed by the animation, there's nothing I have to complain about. Even the twist, which I didn't see coming at all, was superbly ...

Feb 25, 2020 WhiteWolfKiba Recommended Ride Your Wave is the story of a young and naive surfer who falls in love with a firefighter; the two have a whirlwind romance that eventually leads to something supernatural. This movie is the latest anime feature from director Masaaki Yuasa (Lu Over The Wall, Night Is Short), who I find very hit or miss, but I'm happy to say I thought this was a hit! In fact I loved this movie so much I almost gave it a 9/10, but a few things held it back to a strong 8/10. When I first saw the trailer I rolled my eyes a bit because ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 13, 2020 Chibichump Recommended I honestly enjoyed this movie for the most part. Unfortunately, like Game of Thrones, I feel they butchered the ending. The story and the visuals itself were very well done but...the ending was so lackluster it took away a lot from the initial appeal of the movie. (I feel personally) I don't know if anyone else felt that way but, I honestly just felt 'meh' after it ended. I was so enthralled and engaged up until the last 5 minutes or so and then....blah. That was it. Honestly, a little disappointing considering how much I enjoyed it up until that point. Movie overall: 7 Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 8, 2022 Sandwitch_I Recommended Very much recomend If you're looking for a very emotional movie. It does a very good job at getting you invested from the very first song. I found myself physicaly wanting to sing with Hinako, and crying hard with the ending. It's just a good story about moving on and finding yourself through love. I also think it did a realy good job with other characters besides the leads, giving them proper story and development. The animation is good, it does a great job in conveying the event, but nothing breathtakingly beautiful. Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 14, 2023 TZUN4I Recommended If you - like me - were fooled by the strange animation style from the poster, or - like me - are not fond of the ocean theme, please, correct yourself and give this movie a chance! Plus - it doesn't seem like it, but it's a real tearjerker and at the same time carries very cool message about loss and moving on! I've had this title in my Plan to Watch list for a while but because of the above said I've plain ignored it. I was never so worng! The plot manages to combine firefighting with surfing !! and very sweetly presented and fun ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 14, 2020 VittorioL Recommended I watched Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara expecting a lot, because its director is Masaaki Yuasa, the same person who directed incredible shows like Devilman Crybaby or The Tatami Galaxy, and what I got was nothing but an amazing emotional movie that never stops impressing. It is a rollercoaster of emotions that in the end almost left me with tears in my eyes. It is a beatiful, wholesome movie about how people can influence other people´s lives even if they do not realize that. It never gets melodramatic, it never gets boring. It is just what it is, and is not trying to be ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 4, 2020 AmbiiBambi Recommended **Warning: Contains Spoilers** I am writing this review straight after watching 'Ride Your Wave'. I went in thinking it was a nice bittersweet story between our main characters; Hinako and Minato. I was not excepting to not only cry not once, not twice, but three times during this movie! Story: 8/10 Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 15, 2020 Curioplex Recommended This romance story will bring quite a wave of emotions. My top scores would have to be Art and Story. Lowest would be Characters then Sound. Heres what I think: Art: 9| While the art really brings out the emotions, it kind of looks weird at certain times, kind of alien. It is so much better than some lip flapping picture though!

Dec 13, 2020 angel0_pr4t Recommended Nb: Sorry for my bad english, i partially write this review as a tool to get good at english ( This movie is the first Masaaki Yuasa movie I checked out. As a new anime fan, i've already heard this director name in several places. Just out of curiosity I go and watch one of his movies. Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 7, 2022 Shanissen Recommended Vi Kimi to,Nami ni Noretara con mi novio Yago porque desde hace días me estaba diciendo que la veamos juntos y que era mejor que Kimi no na wa, y no me quedan dudas de que la supera por mucho tanto en animación, trama como así también, en la banda musical. Decir que lloré es poco, se podría decir que es una película muy realista, jamás me había sentido tan identificada con una personaje principal como lo fue Hinako. Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 1, 2020 Firechick12012 Recommended Romance movies are a dime a dozen. They're practically everywhere, so any attempt at making any form of romance media will inevitably seem cliche, because at this point, there's literally no original storytelling ground for them anymore. I myself have never been much for romance stuff, mostly because many of them are either annoyingly cliche, formulaic, melodramatic, or indulge in tropes that are so aggravating, you just want to punch a wall. I especially hate it when the main leads come across an obstacle, NEVER talk to each other about it in favor of dragging out the drama longer than it needs to, thereby ignoring ...

Feb 19, 2020 Sakkyoku Recommended Kimi to, Nami ni Noreta Rambles. If this film fails at only 1 thing, it is the inability to establish conflict within it's narrative. The film quickly introduces and resolves conflicts at a rapid pace, never lingering long enough to explore how or why any of these conflicts might be meaningful. Which in itself may not be such a large problem, but it is because the conflicts themselves irrationally justified within the narrative, that the film fails to convey it's themes in a graceful manner. That being said, while science Saru are not fantastic animators, they are fantastic digital artists. This film is absolutely captivates the eye. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 2, 2022 itac2i Recommended This movie was honestly a masterpiece, and extremely beautiful. This movie tugged at my heartstrings and had me feeling so many different emotions. It was a roller coaster ride. It was a story of falling in love, of self-growth and figuring out who you want to be and what your purpose is, and about loss. The relationship between the two main characters was beautiful and very healthy, and they continually encouraged each other to be better and to work on themselves before their relationship. It was really sad watching her lose her lover and having to watch him watch her from the other side, but I guess ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 16, 2021 minnnieee Recommended This movie was overall an ethereal experience. The vibes I get from this entire animation is breathtaking to another level. I picked up this movie out of pure curiosity, and left with a lot of emotional baggage. -- The art and animation is beyond words describable. The colors are so bright and light, its very refreshing and reminds me a lot of (of course) the summer time and brought a lot of nostalgia. The music is on a whole next level. I absolutely adore the song "Brand New Story," especially the version where Hinako and Minato sing, its the most adorable music to go with ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
