I dove into "Kaijuu no Kodomo" with an open mind and came out truly mesmerized. I've read several reviews where people expressed disappointment with the storyline, but for me, it was captivating. The themes explored in the movie, like the parallels with birth and the poetic notion of us being part of the vast universe, were both romantic and inspiring.

Regarding the characters, I did feel a tinge of longing for more depth in the side characters. However, this might be an intentional reflection of the transient nature of childhood and adolescence – friends coming and going, parents grappling with their children's emotional landscapes. It's a thought-provoking perspective.

Watching this movie was like experiencing the sea itself. At times, I felt a peaceful calmness, and at others, I was caught in a whirlwind of chaos and thunderstorms. This film isn't just a visual experience; it's an emotional journey.

I would wholeheartedly recommend "Kaijuu no Kodomo," but with a gentle note that it's best suited for those who are open to its unique storytelling and profound ideas. If you're willing to embrace its narrative style, this movie is a beautiful, thought-provoking voyage.
