Review of Ride Your Wave

This was beautiful. Maybe I needed it or maybe it's because I don't normally watch a lot of romance/drama anime, and I'm not someone who cries a lot, but I ended up crying at the end of it. It had just been sitting there on my desktop for me to watch for years now and I thought, I'll just watch it to finally remove it, but it ended up being a beautiful experience. The animation and the colors themselves already make you feel a lot, even without the story itself. Some reviewers said the story repeats itself and that they have mixed feelings about it.Perhaps it's true, but I didn't feel that way. I don't wish to spoil what happens so I'll say it vaguely but I think the emotions represented here justified the repetition of certain things. Maybe that's why I felt so strongly throughout this but that repetition, that message, along with the beautiful art really emphasized the character's fixation and their strong emotions, and pulled me in. If you're looking to feel something, had a not-so-good day and came home in the evening and wanted to just let go or something, I think this anime could be something you'll really enjoy. That's how it was for me anyway.
