A love poem and beautiful ode to the depth and perseverance of life and all things being.

There are as many ways to life as there are living beings.
This is an anime so well animated, it made me feel the cool breeze when standing under a roof, on a hot summer day, made me feel the warmth of the sand, the chillness of the air, when you stand on the beach at night.

Perhaps the most well animated movie, the details are spectacular, but most importantly it feels HUMAN, in a beautiful way.
It mixes the inherent allure of the ocean, where all life is derived from on this planet, in a perfect and consistent way. It is a perfect movie.
The colors are as vibrant as your youthful teenage memories are, as bright as you would want your life to be.

You have to feel it just as much, if not more than thinking, to understand it.

The movie begins pretty lowkey, but in the second half it becomes an audiovisual parade, that overwhelms the human senses.

Whales sing songs under water. The animators captured what could not be in mere words or mediocre Tokyo Ghoul animation.
Some introspection is perhaps necessary to understand the world, and it's underlying mechanisms.
They used auditory and visual components to their fullest effect, while restraining from unnecessary excess. My Bloody Valentine's 2nd album, Loveless could be compared here.

The heartfelt music is beautiful, though minimalist and most importantly the opposite of sterile (even if not very memorable). It accompanies the scenes very well.

I would recommend watching it with headphones or on a big screen. Perhaps both.

The motion of humans, objects and animals is perfect animated, you get carried away, as if you were there. You feel the sway of the
whales, that roam under the sea.

Nature by nature (pun intended) is appealing, alluring to the average human. After all, it is what shaped our evolution.
The entire universe is just a huge net of being. We are all related to each other, to the tiniest of ants. And that is beautiful. We are the product of nature.

This movie in my eyes is about the love of nature and the love of other people.
Electric blue skies, wild green plants, warm reds and browns, tranquil blacks, this movie has everything a motion picture should need. It is a perfect balance of style and substance.

This is probably the fattest 10 I'll give for a long time.
This movie has completely enchanted me.

I recommend listening to this song:

And playing Rayman Origins, since it is visually pretty similar.

Go watch the movie, I can't do it justice. (And I don't wanna hype it up too much either).

I hate seafood.
