As if matters possibly could not have gone worse, Yutaka walks in after Taku gets slapped. This upset Rikako so much that when the fight was over she proceeded to wallop Taku across the face for not defending his “girlfriend”. Taku walked in during the fight and decided to be a bystander. Rikako denied these allegations and became defensive. In one scene, Rikako, who is not well liked, is cornered and yelled at by her classmates for allegedly flirting with another’s boyfriend. Throughout the film, Taku is the main love interest of Rikako with Yutaka attempting to slide himself into the heart of Rikako. The drama in the film was so amusing that it made HBO’s “Euphoria” look dull and primitive, and the love triangle between Taku and his friends truly kept me at the edge of my seat. While traveling home, Taku recounts his memories of his school days, focussing in particular on a love triangle that developed between him and his two friends, Rikako and Yutaka.Īlthough many critics and fans dislike “Ocean Waves”, such as IMDb’s score of 6.6 out of 10, it is easily one of the most enjoyable and comedic films I have ever seen.
“Ocean Waves” follows Taku Morisaki as he journeys back from Tokyo to his high school for a reunion.
From an animation studio with such a good reputation, I will be examining one of Ghibli’s least discussed and acclaimed films, 1993’s “Ocean Waves”. While many Ghibli movies are some of the most critically acclaimed films, it is hard to believe that they have also produced some bumpy films. Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli, is well known in the United States for beloved works such as 2002 Oscar winner “Spirited Away”. Note: this review contains major spoilers!
