Description

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. Taku and his best friend Yutaka are headed back to school for what looks like another uneventful year. But they soon find their friendship tested by the arrival of Rikako, a beautiful new transfer student from Tokyo whose attitude shifts wildly from flirty and flippant to melancholic. When Taku joins Rikako on a trip to Tokyo, the school erupts with rumors, and the three friends are forced to come to terms with their changing relationships. Never before released in North America, Ocean Waves is a beautifully animated adaptation of Saeko Himuro's best-selling novel, and a true discovery.

    Ich stimme Zoé voll und ganz zu. Eine eher langweilige Geschichte.

    An sich sonst ein begeisterter Studio Ghibli-Anhänger hat mich diese Produktion weniger überzeugt, nicht weil es hier nicht phantastisch à la Miyazaki zugeht, schliesslich überzeugte ja auch der feinsinnige 'Tränen der Erinnerung', sondern weil die Handlung und die Motivation der Protagonisten nur mässig auf den Punkt gebracht wird und zudem die Farbgebung etwas fade geraten ist. Interessantes ist hingegen auch hier wieder zu studieren: Der soziologische Gruppen-Druck der in Japans Schulen herrscht und die kulturell bedingte Mühe (auch der Jungen) Gefühle aus zudrücken. Nur, auch das wurde in anderen Animés schon beeindruckender dargestellt...
