They are not painted, they are alive!

"Umi ga Kikoeru", also known as "Ocean Waves" and "I Can Hear the Sea" - one of not very famous movies by «Studio Ghibli» and the most unsuccessful its project in terms of financial profitability.

However, this is a wonderful shot of the anime. Obvious its advantages - the lack of cheap soap opera effects, typical of many melodramas. The ability to dive into the world of perfectly adequate anime characters, that doesn't happen often. Unusually shown love triangle....
Someone might say: the plot of "Umi ga Kikoeru" undeveloped, but look back: do fifteen or sixteen years teenagers understand what they really want from life? Only fragments of relationships, lost connections, the first conflicts and stupid talks, unprofitable, but before the offensive that stuck in the memory of a lifetime... But the main focus of the movie placed on the the characters growing up, change their views. The romance in the film is like a weak and inconspicuous at first spark intensifying feelings: embarrassment MC, Morisaki Taku represented Muto like her boyfriend at a meeting with her father and the former boyfriend, a shame to sleep in the bath and other amusing silliness. Tenderness Morisaki, carefully sheltering with blanket, cried her eyes out and asleep on his chest Muto. Incredible scene of homecoming and reunion, with lots of small details.

After watching a feeling of quiet melancholy and tranquility left in the soul. The sense of reality.
Take a look at the scenery, think about your hopes for the future at the end of school, remember the first homecoming and find out yourself.

P.S. Sorry for my second-rated english. And thanks for reading.
