## Description

Tomomi Mochizuki directs this Japanese animated feature based on the novel by Saeko Himuro. The film follows Taku (voice of Nobuo Tobita), a young Japanese high school student whose life is turned upside down by the arrival from Tokyo of mysterious new girl Rikako (Yoko Sakamoto). Despite Rikako's insistence on keeping her distance from her new classmates, Tako finds himself falling for her as circumstances conspire to bring them together during a school trip to Hawaii. However, things soon become complicated when it emerges that Tako has a rival for Rikako's affections in the form of his close friend Yutaka (Toshihiko Seki).

Review: By the makers of "Only yesterday" - Sometimes, marketing tries to sell you something you don't want, or something you won't like. To add a sticker to this DVD with "by the makers of Spirited Away" it's wrong. First, should be made clear that it's a subtitled film (I always watch the films in their original language, but a LOT of people don't, and they won't have the choice). And second, even though it's a studio Ghibli film, that doesn't mean that it's going to be "Spirited Away". I think it's unfair to class this film as a romantic film, at least in the western sense of it (subtle and with lots of unsaid words, watch out for face expressions). I would say it's more a drama, a Japanese drama for adults. In actual fact, once you watch this film you'll forget it was an animation film, because it's quite in the style of a Japanese non-animation drama. Also, it's way more realistic than any other anime films that happen in a school. For someone interested in Japanese culture you'll be pleased to noticed all the nuances of Japanese everyday life: the sound of the local trains, the izakaya, the street signs, the customs... very detailed indeed. The story is simple but interesting and believable. I won't spoil it for you, but if you liked My Neighbours The Yamadas [DVD ] and/or Only Yesterday [DVD ] you should definitely give this one a try. If you think you might like this drama, don't miss this hidden gem at a very interesting price.
Review: ocean waves - How can I put this classic studio ghibli a love story in the true sense of the word. There is no english diolouge but if you do not mind the subtitles then this is a good film to add to your anime collection.It's not very long as with some of studio ghibi's films about 76 minutes,but this was only intended for the japanese market. the same as the other ghibli title Only Yesterday but just as enjoyable. So if you are a fan of studio ghibli films then you will like this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ocean Waves
*by S***O on 22 June 2010*

`Ocean Waves' is one of the more obscure films in the Ghibli catalogue and whilst it has less of a fantasy feel to it than their other films, it still has a certain charm. This follows two boys and a girl at school who strike up an unusual friendship. She is very impudent and rude and they can't seem to stop helping her when she is gets into awkward situations. There are also the inevitable tensions when any relationship triangle occurs. This has the attention to detail that I have come to expect from Ghibli films and the animation is as precise and beautiful as ever, indeed it reminds me of a great deal of `The Cat Returns' in animation style. There is the occasional use of small screens within a larger white screen, usually linking various scenes, that I haven't seen in Ghibli films before and whilst it didn't seem to add a great deal to the film, it didn't detract from it either. There is no English dubbing for this film and the subtitles and Japanese language lend this a certain authentic feel I enjoy when watching anime films. The extras are very sparse on the DVD, in fact all you get is a trailer for the film. All in all this is an OK film, it isn't very strong on story and after recent outstanding Ghibli films I found this a little disappointing, but in its own right it is perfectly enjoyable and a nice way to spend 70 minutes of your time. This is easy going, inoffensive and worth adding to your Ghibli/anime collection at some point. Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
