The Story: The young boy Koichi happens to find a Kappa, which surprisingly survived over 200 years. He takes the Kappa, now named "Coo", home, and starting from then on, he secretly lives with family Uehara. When Coo starts feeling lonely, Koichi and the Kappa go on a trip, to find other Kappas. But a legendary being like Coo will not stay undiscovered for long...
When I thought about rating this anime, I thought I'd give it a 9 because the graphics weren't what I am used to from other animes. But after finishing the anime, I realized the way the characters are drawn fit the story perfectly. It was part of the charm in my opinion. The setting isn't some kind of parallel world so any other graphics, the "normal", often used kind, wouldn't have gone well with the story.
I recommend this anime for EVERY one out there, but I must say there is some violence in it, so it's not just a happy go lucky anime.
This movie is outstanding, unique and very, very touching. After watching it, you will agree with me. You WILL. There's no chance you'll disagree. That's impossible.
