This film is filled with beautiful animated depictions of the sea and many creatures that inhabit it. Unfortunately, the beauty of animation does not save what is slow ignition and overlap the film that is too hard to forgive for the heads of the menga topic in a feature film. Also, these “head” topics – the universe needs equilibrium, all in the universe is connected, we are all made of “Star things”, etc. – Don’t a new ground break, the more than these ideas can be found in silencing a part to throw the nearest bed, bathroom and wider. In terms of teen melodrama aspects in the film, “fish from water” says that here is literal presentation, and at the same time anime makes creative use on the application of these concepts on the magical realism in which they are displayed Children of the seaIt starts to grow all boring.
It is a classic example of an anime trying to do too much, and clean volume messages and side stories and backstories act against each other. The pure amount of what is communicated, because it is paired with beautiful hypnotic paintings, say tropical fish, creates a kind of belittling effect. The story of the arrival is lost in the moras of great ideas and large concepts. And it should not be said that these thoughts about life, the universe and the deep blue sea should not be expressed, because some of these ideas have become for overdraft, but lush animation would be better served using this film to address some of these messages, not all of them.
