Synopsis

In the future, the oceans have risen to flood all the continents due to humanity's negligence of the environment. Only a few bits of land have been spared, and one of those is the city-island where Elfie lives with her grandfather. One day, due to an underwater incident, she discovers that she can breathe underwater. Her grandfather reveals that in truth she is one of the mythical sea-people. Using the city-folk's xenophobia, local politicians spark a war with this hidden people to distract people from their current resource problems, and Elfie is caught in the middle of it.

This may contain a few spoilers so I'm warning you.

The first half of this movie (actually more than half of it) was focusing more on the describing the "world she lives in and what the humans are doing wrong (the damage on the damage on the sea) and throughout this part we slowly get to understand more about what exactly she is, even if you can easily guess after the first scene where we see that.
But then this revelation is a problem in the 2nd half because of the way others will see it and eventually use against her and we get to a part ...

I have to say that I watched this when I was 6 to 7 years old and I never forgot it. This anime touched me more than many Disney movies when I was a child.

And here by chance I just found it. So happy about this! I kept remembering the final scene and couldn't let go of it.

I think this anime deserves a remake to renew the graphics, ...

Sure, this may be a fairly simplistic story, with unimpressive artwork and less-than-stellar animation, and it may be heavy-handed on the moralizing, aimed at kids in the eight to ten year age range. But overall...not that bad.

It's hundreds of years in the future, and Earth has turned into a Waterworld, mostly ocean and humans living more in harmony with nature (out of necessity).
