From visionary director Masaaki Yuasa (The Night is Short, Walk on Girl, Devilman Crybaby) comes a deeply emotional new film that applies his trademark visual ingenuity to a tale of romance, grief and self-discovery.

Hinako is a surf-loving college student who has just moved to a small seaside town. When a sudden fire breaks out at her apartment building, she is rescued by Minato, a handsome firefighter, and the two soon fall in love. Just as they become inseparable, Minato loses his life in an accident at sea. Hinako is so distraught that she can no longer even look at the ocean, but one day she sings a song that reminds her of their time together, and Minato appears in the water. From then on, she can summon him in any watery surface as soon as she sings their song, but can the two really remain together forever? And what is the real reason for Minato’s sudden reappearance?

    Steven ★★★★★

    I cried like a baby by the end, and the way Yuasa blends the surfing animation with the emotional beats is just stunning. The combo pack is convenient too, so I can lend the DVD to my friend who hasn't upgraded yet.

    Mia V. ★★★★★

    I went in expecting a quirky Yuasa ride but wasn't ready for how gut-wrenching the grief storyline hits. The Blu-ray transfer really captures the vivid watercolor backgrounds and fluid animation beautifully, and having both discs means I can share it with friends who haven't upgraded their player ye

    Michael T. ★★★★★

    The Blu-ray transfer really does justice to Yuasa's wild, flowing animation—colors pop and the movement stays buttery smooth. I've watched it twice already and the emotional payoff hits just as hard.
