Synopsis

In a Tokyo where gravity has broken, a boy and a girl are drawn to each other... The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world. Cut off from the outside world, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building. Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous play style, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers. The pair then hear a unique sound audible only to them. Why did Uta appear before Hibiki? Their encounter leads to a revelation that will change the world. (Source: Netflix) Note: The anime released on Netflix on April 28, 2022. It screened in theaters on May 13, 2022.

Visually Spectacular, Narratively Muddled

[Note: Mild, unimportant spoilers may follow. Story-specific and important spoilers will be marked with the tag] For many, Bubble promised to be the next big animated movie out of Japan and, understandably so, with the film featuring the likes of Tetsuro Araki, Gen Urobuchi and Hiroyuki Sawano amon…

I wish this movie lasted about as long as a bubble does.

This film is just like a bubble - aesthetically pleasing but ultimately useless. ~~~___SPOILER WARNING___~~~ I would like to start by apologizing for that horrible simile I subjected you to. I only did that so you, the reader, would feel frustrated just like I did while watching Wit Studio’s new f…

Just like its title. Pretty on the outside, filled with air inside

I don't know what to say about this... There's a time when a show hadn't a good production crew, it might be garbage. If a show had a great production crew, you might surely expect that it will something big. My question is, why the heck this film isn't on the same level, as the production crew was…

State of the art visuals. Interesting premise. Lackluster use of actually great themes.

~~~youtube(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHxcwF69rtE)~~~ Like many others I was really looking forward to this production due to all the familiar names attached to it. However, I was definitely not satisfied after watching the final product. Well... __Storytelling & Themes__ ~!The story of _Bubb…

How animation and style can carry a movie

~~~Bubble is a movie that I've known about for quite a while now ever since I watched the trailer a couple of months ago and because I thought it looked really unique I decided to watch it. I can definitely say that this movie isn't for everyone and if you go in expecting too much you'll most likely…

A disappointing predictably structured movie paired with some of the best animations of 2022.

Let me start by saying this is my first review for anything, so keep that in mind while reading this review. I was also really hyped for this movie for like half a year now but kept my hopes at least down. (Also wrote this at like 11 PM) I have written this review right after finishing the movie a…

"Bubble" is a great motif because this film is chock-full of hollow sentiment.

I struggled to find redeeming features here. There is a resounding echo of "so what?" that plagues the telling of the story, amounting to mostly whether someone is going to stare at something off-screen with their mouth open and potentially with some tears. The majority of the exposition is vomite…

Visually stunning, with an unknown theme

“The little mermaid gazed at the prince, and threw herself into the sea” I admit, I was very excited to see some of my favourite anime industry icons working on this new Netflix movie. Seeing the likes of Tetsurou Araki, who directed Attack On Titan, Gen Urobuchi, who was the scriptwriter for Madok…

The Little Mermaid but it's high on sci-fi

___SPOILERS TAGGED___ (but it’s just like two things that aren't really that important) Personally I try not to go around writing reviews for stuff that already has a large amount of them, but I just couldn’t help myself with this show. It’s so cliche it’s painful, and so captivating I started writ…

Pretty bubbles, very little said.

Mythology and folktales can be interesting. There is many stories across several different places and cultures. Stories you can see are borrow from or heavily reference to. You have Odin Sphere which uses Norse mythology for its‘ characters and events as a base of influence. There are others that ju…

Un anime juste beau et c'est tout

On m'avait survendu le film comme quelque chose d'incroyable et de trépidant , que vue que j'ai fais du parkour j'allais forcément kiffer du début jusqu'à la fin et que j'allais m'attacher aux personnages. D'autant plus que ceux qui sont à la tête de ce projet on taffait dans des animes incroyables…

One of many examples of a movie that's all about style over substance, with narrative issues and bland characters.

Don't you just hate it when it seems like media focuses much more on animation and graphics than telling stories with three-dimensional characters? That's what Wit Studio's newest movie, Bubble, unfortunately turned out to be. Basically, five years ago, gravity-altering bubbles fell upon the world,…

best staff gathered, a new anime with the most respected people working on it, a not so new story?

Bubble is a movie that takes place in Tokyo which had suffered from a supernatural phenomenon and left the capital of Japan uninhabitable with floods on the ground and bubbles in the air. The story starts off with introducing us to the characters, the characters are not too different from most anime…

Overreliance on Inspirations, Misuse of Characters and Done-to-death Theming

_Unfortunately, being animated and having music aren't merits worth giving this one any time of day you have._ __Reading further will lead to spoilers so if you wish to avoid that:__ Bubble isn't good enough that you should put your time here rather than something better, whether it's for its visua…

Ambitious concept but falls short in the narrative

__This review will contain spoilers__. Bubble was one of the anime I looked a lot forward to in 2022. With Urobuchi as scriptwriter, Sawano for the music and Araki as director the staff looked very promising, and the trailer were pretty good. If it would’ve been screened in cinema, I would’ve gone…

Lovely anime that will emotionally hit you

I'll not go around pretending like this is a masterpiece. But if an anime makes me cry, that means it does something right. A notable thing about this anime, is that it doesn't really have clear parallels with the real world. Almost entirety of it makes up a simple story with interesting parkour-st…

Stunning visuals, hollow story. Gorgeous animation carrying a plot that forgot to show up.

So I watched Bubble — a 2022 anime film by Wit Studio that takes the story of The Little Mermaid, drops it into a post-apocalyptic Tokyo overrun by gravity-defying bubbles, and wraps the whole thing in some of the most gorgeous animation I've seen in a while. On paper, that lineup of ingredients sou…

The story of the mermaid when she drowns.

A brief review of the anime movie "Bubble" The review does not include spoilers. The film is a mix of "Weathering With You" combined with the existential questions and motivations one might encounter in "Children Of The Sea." It's a simple and enjoyable story that doesn't delve too deep. However, i…
