#Watch ocean waves ghibli tv
I remember as a kid when I couldn't go to sleep I would sneak downstairs whilst it was still dark outside and the whole street was silent and I'd put the TV on and watch movies and shows that I'd never seen before, most of them black and white, I don't even remember the names of them, and like that one face you saw in the street that you can't quite forget, the film haunts you, years later still lingering in the back of my head, and when I think of the film, I'm suddenly transported back to the first time I watched it. Friendship, secret love and a trip to Tokyo all come back to him. Taku and his best friend Yutaka are headed back to school for what looks like. From the legendary Studio Ghibli, creators of Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, comes a poignant and wonderfully nuanced story of adolescence and growing up. I think being a little older I was able to appreciate the film more, it's quaint and uneventful, and that's what makes it so appealing and relatable. Available on Prime Video, iTunes, HBO Max.
The film is stylish too, the whole canvas has this hue to it that almost makes it more dreamlike, and the characters are grounded and normal and yet cool at the same time and the soundtrack is a favourite of mine. My younger brother watched it with me a few years ago and he hated it, but I quite like the film myself, and it's funny because the feelings that you used to describe it mirror my own, the film just exudes this warmth as it welcomes you into this world that feels so nostalgic. But this was much more grown up and grounded by comparison.Īnyway I liked Ocean Waves and will certainly be picking up the Blu Ray.īut like the title of this thread asks I'm curious why so many seemingly don't like it? Anyone here feel that way and if so why? Not since Tales of Earthsea have I seen a Ghibli film with such a mixed reaction. Mochizuki the director also did KOR and I certainly felt abit of that background in the film and especially some of the characterizations. Also at just 72 minutes it was so short that it didn't come close to outstaying it's welcome, in fact I didn't want it to end. I always enjoy timeskips like that in Anime.
It was fun seeing all the characters grown up like that. I think the film elevated even further for me with the short timeskip towards the end bringing the story all back around. It was pretty fluffy in that regard but I liked it, certainly gave me a warm fuzzy feeling while watching it. This isn't the great love story of our time or anything, it's just a subtle warm tale about growing up, friendship and romance. I liked the love triangle and didn't find it frustrating or annoying, maybe Rikako annoyed some but she was interesting to me even if she wasn't totally realistic. I really enjoyed the film, I loved seeing a Ghibli take on modern Japan with zero fantasy because even Whisper of the Heart had abit of that. It was alot better than I had heard as most on my MAL friends list rated it between 4-6/10. Watched Ocean Waves last night for the first time.
