A bittersweet love story, it had its ups and downs . But the animation was amazing, I love that I was able to see this

Did not see movie. The movie could not be played. They gave a free movie ticket. Disappointing. It was only day and showtime :/

Charming and sad, ride your wave will take you on a journey you won't forget!

Can’t wait to buy it on blu-ray!

the animation was a bit strange, but gorgeous. captivating! the pace of this movie felt off beat, either too fast or too slow, but it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. it was hard for me to cry, honestly, because of how light and funny a lot of this movie was mixed in with harder, deeper emotions, but that might be the charm of it! recommend it :)

The animation was gorgeous!

This movie is quite lacking in terms of plot but the romance was a sight to see develop. But at the end I couldn’t help but feel empty since it didn’t add up to anything in the end.

It was a wonderful story, although I wish there had been an English dub track so I could have given full visual attention to the gorgeous animation, rather than having to read subtitles.

A wonderful romance which brought tears to my eyes.

Mildly formulaic, but it's still heart-rending

Amazing music story and art

It’s one of the best romantic comedies that greatly strays from the norm! It has a great message about grief, perseverance and growing healthy relationships. The leads were a definite highlight. A must-watch if you are tired of the bland, cliche love stories from Hollywood. Also I cannot get “Brand New Story” out of my head and I am glad! :)

Very cool movie. Need more like this.

Quite a tear jerker. Loved the animation and storyline. I really wish it was a longing love story. 💝

Love the movie! Great music, too!

7/10- too much water

The life is a wave

This animated film was amazing. Not only was the animation great and had amazing colors, but it left you crying for more. Reading the synopsis, we all knew it was coming, but it didn’t stop me from getting attached to the wholesome relationship and crying even harder at the tragedy:(. I enjoyed the theme of moving on and I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. Just bring tissues.

Very worth the watch. A more simple story than some of the other anime films I have seen recently but I really appreciate it for that. It is what it is. A gorgeous little love story. I would definitely watch it again.

wonderful and thought provoking 😊

A very lovely, if somewhat-predictable, supernatural romance. The bright, flowing aesthetic and visuals make every shot as lively as the ocean waves. The themes of personal growth are well-worn, but work for a reason. Definitely worth a watch! Also, the lead girl looks like Miki Kuroda, which is the opposite of a problem.
