Review of Ride Your Wave

Just surfing through life. A romance anime that I found on HBO Max. The animation for this movie was gorgeous and cute. The look of the ocean and waves were so refreshing. It just made me feel relaxed and happy watching this animation. This movie had a one of those montages of a couple that would make you feel sad that you’re single. The romance was cute and I enjoyed watching the relationship. As for the story, something major happened midway that required the main character to move on. There’s a big element of fantasy, but not one that I haven’t seen before. The plotwas pretty typical of a drama dealing with death and moving on, so there wasn’t too many surprises. Also, the emotion wasn’t as high as I wanted, probably because of the typical storyline and the light tone.

The characters were pretty okay and not unexpected. The main characters were focused mostly, and the two side characters wasn’t delved into as much.

Overall, beautiful and refreshing animation made for a pretty enjoyable romance drama. 7.5/10
