Ocean waves studio ghibli gay3/2/2024 ![]() There is only one scene that showcased this: and this is when Taku and Yutaka shared the same perspectives towards the decisions made in their school. If it is a story about love triangles, the film should have touched more on who Taku and Yutaka were beyond liking Rikako. Yutaka also received even less screen time, and is even more treated as a side character. But we did not get to know more about him other than he likes Rikako in majority of the film. Taku is supposed to be the main protagonist, as the film is following his point of view. His attraction towards Rikako should also be explored other than just finding her beautiful. His conflicting and confusing feelings about liking Rikako and being aware that Yutaka likes her too would have been included. How he and Yutaka became best friends would have been a good opportunity to delve in deeper too. It is like he is only defined by his feelings for Rikako. In the film it seems like he is only there when Rikako is there. Maybe a subplot about himself (his goals, dreams, what not) would do. Taku should have been given screen time in what he does, and who he is as a person. It would make sense since she is someone the two other protagonists like, but it would not hurt to give room to others as well. The major events that are happening are only occurring because of Rikako. This is probably because the love interest, Rikako, is the only one moving the plot. With Ocean Waves, however, the story can be quite dragging. The length of the film also does not matter as long as the story is compelling. It needs to make the mundane stories intriguing, and the characters themselves interesting. It is supposed to be ordinary, yet it is still a film at the end of the day. It is a slice-of-life film, so it is expected that it will show a realistic portrayal of a high school life. ![]() Read More: Is Chihiro In Love With Haku?

Whether this story may be appealing to you or not totally depends, but in this article, we will be giving you a rather subjective take on the film. Very realistic and just a plain high school drama. That is basically the summarization of what the film is about. This is expected considering that they are still teenagers. Taku also seemed interested in her, but he also does not express this well. She seemed more interested in Taku, but she does not express this in a positive way. Yutaka likes Rikako, but Rikako does not like him back. Studio GhibliĪ love triangle forms between the three of them. ![]() Yutaka is attracted to a new female student, which is Rikako, who came from Tokyo to attend school in the province of Koichi. Taku is a working student, and Yutaka is his best friend. The main protagonists of the film are: Taku, Rikako, and Yutaka. This is exactly what happened in the film. It is supposed to be clumsy, highlighted by the characters’ immaturity. This shows how the romance is supposed to be messy, yet a learning lesson – just like any teen romance. Ocean Waves is a story about a high school students and how they navigate romantic love. So is it a good film worth watching? What Is Ocean Waves About? Most likely, some people who use these aesthetic scenes did not know it came from Ocean Waves. Its scenes are usually used on YouTube edits, specifically ‘anime aesthetic’ ones. You might have encountered Ocean Waves on social media. This is a testament to how Whisper of the Heart left an impact in its own way despite having the slice-of-life genre. Whisper of the Heart, while being a rather underrated film in comparison to Spirited Away, still inspired a live-action sequel. It is probably one of the obscure Studio Ghibli films – arguably the least film being talked about. Yet fans wonder if Ocean Waves is actually a good film. They are delightful and insightful as well.
