Full of shots bathed in a palette of pleasingly soft pastel colors and rich in the unexpected visual details typical of Studio Ghibli’s most revered works, Ocean Waves is an accomplished teenage drama and a true discovery. Ocean Waves is a Studio Ghiblis production for TV, made by the young artists in the studio, that tells a charming story of love and friendship during High School in the small town of Kochi. Ocean Waves was the first Studio Ghibli film directed by someone other than studio founders Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, as director Tomomi Mochizuki led a talented staff of younger employees in an adaptation of Saeko Himuro’s best-selling novel. A Blu-ray remastered version was released on July 17, 2015, in Japan by Walt Disney Studios Japan. American Ghibli fans can only hope a DVD or Blu-ray is someday released here in the States. When Taku joins Rikako on a trip to Tokyo, the school erupts with rumors, and the three friends are forced to come to terms with their changing relationships. But they soon find their friendship tested by the arrival of Rikako, a beautiful new transfer student from Tokyo whose attitude vacillates wildly from flirty and flippant to melancholic. As a young man returns home after his first year away at college he recalls his senior year of high school and the iron-willed, big city girl that turned his world upside down.

With Nobuo Tobita, Toshihiko Seki, Yoko Sakamoto, Yuri Amano. Taku and his best friend Yutaka are headed back to school for what looks like another uneventful year. Ocean Waves: Directed by Tomomi Mochizuki.

Rarely seen outside of Japan, Ocean Waves is a subtle, poignant and wonderfully detailed story of adolescence and teenage isolation. Ocean Waves often ranks low among Ghibli movies, and not just because its a brief and simple creation.
