A warm, funny, and poignant portrait of young love. Fantastic soundtrack and character animation.
_Note: There is a spoiler in this review regarding a plot element that is actually also spoiled in most of the film's marketing materials and pitches. I think viewers are best off going into this film blind._
Masaaki Yuasa does it again (at least in my humble opinion). Him and the rest of the creat…

Ride Your Wave.
🎵There you are, out on the water.🎵
I initially intended for this to just be a simple status update to go alongside me completing this movie but I figured that I have a good amount to say about this. As an author's note, this was the visualization of the very first…

Read full review on AniList →Ride Your Wave is proof that even the most cliche premises can be elevated with great animation and execution.
(This review was originally written on February 19th, 2020)
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…

__Warning: Spoilers to follow__
I think it’s safe to say that Masaaki Yuasa has a thing for water motifs. First with Mind Game, then with Lu Over the Wall, and now with Ride Your Wave, water has featured prominently in three out of his four feature films. The ocean is as much a main character in th…

This review contain spoilers.
The first thing I'd like to make clear in this review is that it is going to be really about my personal experience watching the movie rather than an "objective" analysis. This is important because I feel that if had watched this in another moment of my life or even in…
