Kimi to, Nami ni Noreta Rambles.

If this film fails at only 1 thing, it is the inability to establish conflict within it's narrative. The film quickly introduces and resolves conflicts at a rapid pace, never lingering long enough to explore how or why any of these conflicts might be meaningful. Which in itself may not be such a large problem, but it is because the conflicts themselves irrationally justified within the narrative, that the film fails to convey it's themes in a graceful manner.

That being said, while science Saru are not fantastic animators, they are fantastic digital artists. This film is absolutely captivates the eye. There is an abundance of visual creativity in the film, and while the second to last scene of the film has terrible narrative justification, it certainly has a visually justification. The character designs, color scheme, and general visual 'design' are something anyone will be able to appreciate.

This movie might be worth watching just for the visuals; or perhaps it's something you can watch with your significant other (as that is certainly this movies target demographic). But if you are looking for something that might make you reconsider something, or explore an aspect of human relationships, or really make any statement on anything, this ain't it chief.
