Sadie T @RabidRoadkill Aug 24, 2026 This is a visually beautiful movie with a complex narrative. While many of the reviews on here seem to find fault in the open-ended and confusing nature of the movie, I find it to be what brings everything together; you aren't meant to understand everything. A lot of the plot in this story shouldn't be interpreted literally, as I think that makes it easier to lose sight of the actual meanings behind the visuals. I would say this is much more of an experience than a movie. See more Yoav D @Jamie97 Jan 1, 2026 Beautiful animation and water scenes. The most beautiful anime I ever seen, the way the movie portrays the awe and the wonders of the ocean is unmatched. Although the storyline gets a bit weak close to the end, still, a must see!

I guess not everyone has taken ayahuasca and experienced the oneness of it all! See more Azra S @RT48934497 Jul 28, 2024 I am so glad I wasn't convinced by the rating as this was one of the best animes I've seen in my life. It whimsically dives into deep questions about existence, nature-human connection with a heartwarming story. Every scene is artfully drawn with amazing details, textures and palettes. Almost all the comments with low ratings mentioned one thing: the narrative and its lack of linearity and closure. Yes, it very beautifully and intentionally lacks these. It is fragmented, it is twisted, it is confusing at times. I don't know how else you can talk about the complex topics it bravely and tenderly undertakes. Yes, you will have to fill in the blanks with your own brain and imagination. That's what great art invites you to do.

I am still shocked how underrated it is and rating this low. For me it's another best I have seen and truly a masterpiece. I hope more get acknowledged of this and understand the beauty of this anime <3 See more Read all reviews
