Review of Ride Your Wave
I like the theme: grief and finding yourself after it. But the delivery, not so much. Hinako and Minato don't give the feeling one would have when seeing couples we root for. The characters are "problematic" (no, not that kind of problematic) in varying ways: Hinako is such a klutz, it makes me cringe seeing her drop things non-stop, and that singing, ohhhh God; Minato is the perfect boyfriend who is practically good at everything (except surfing which he had Hinako teach him) but is otherwise such a bland colourless character; Youko just irritates me; Wasabi I guess is kinda okay because he is moreinteresting than Minato, though he and his love interest has no chemistry as far as I can see. I don't hate it but I certainly am not raving for you to watch it either.
