Synopsis
Post-apocalyptic flooded Earth: Elfie, sea-girl, faces war between humans and her hidden people.
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. (Source: ANN)

- 8 “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. I kept searching for it but had no idea...”
- 7 “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...”
- 5 “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...”
