Aluna U Bubble offers breathtaking visuals and fluid animation enhanced by a beautiful soundtrack, making it a treat for the senses. While the story is easy to follow, its emotional depth suffers due to underdeveloped backstory and unclear world-building. Despite its narrative flaws, the film remains enjoyable and visually captivating.

Character development is very bad actually except for the mid to last part and only for the protagonist, the rest of the cast is very dull and repetition of typical anime stereotype moves the pace of the story from an exciting talk about post apocalyptic world where kids are playing Parkour to a dull storyline. The movie also did not drove too deep on the lore of the apocalyptic scenario instead it just tethers on the kid storybook, and the animation style was not quite homogeneous instead on some frames it is like sung jinwoo and in other it's like blue lock S2 so I'll recommend it for watching only in free time else watch something better over it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review L C The characters are bland stereotypes. The plot was wasting a lot of time on worthless scenes. As a result, the ending was rushed. So dude barely met the bubble monster and cries when she reverts back into her primitive form- why? Save yourself by not wasting your time on this. I get more enjoyment eating paper than watching this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Paul S This move was spectacular. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful animated movies I've ever seen. The animation was stunning, the story was compelling and imaginative, and it was so much fun to watch. I definitely recommend it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Russell S Critic's are the worst. This is one of the greatest anime movies ever Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Jason D Bubble (2022) is a visual masterpiece with all the trappings of greatness—stellar animation, breathtaking parkour sequences, and a studio pedigree that includes Attack on Titan. Directed by Tetsuro Araki and released on Netflix, it looks like a film destined for anime glory. But beneath its glossy surface lies a story that, like its namesake, feels hollow and fleeting. The post-apocalyptic Tokyo is captivating, flooded and encapsulated by a giant mysterious bubble. In this surreal landscape, orphans compete in gravity-defying “Battlekour” (parkour + capture-the-flag) for food and supplies. Enter Hibiki, an audio-sensitive teen and elite parkour runner who falls—quite literally—for a mysterious girl born from a bubble. Yes, a bubble. She’s called Uta, and she’s essentially a bubbly take on The Little Mermaid, right down to the self-sacrificial ending and, for some reason, the actual reading of the original tale in the film itself. The animation? “So freaking good.” Kevin and I agree—the parkour sequences are where Bubble earns its keep. Seamless transitions between 2D and 3D animation, jaw-dropping camera work, and an art style that respects detail and mood. The action looks like a dance, and you can tell this team knows what they’re doing. The downside? Pretty much everything else. The story is full of unexplained phenomena (like sentient bubbles, gravity anomalies, and red bubble “sisters”), underdeveloped characters, and a rushed romance between a boy and... well, a soap bubble. “The story was flawed. I like the premise. I don't like the follow-through,” Kevin aptly sums up. Despite stunning visuals and a strong score, Bubble can’t outrun its weak narrative. You’ll be amazed by what you see—but probably confused or unfulfilled by the time the credits roll. An animation showcase trapped in a soap opera of half-baked ideas. Watch it for the eye candy, not the plot. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
