Audience Member I actually think this movie is pretty good overall. It has the feeling of a fever dream, with surprisingly deep character development. Watching it is a bit like experiencing those strange, vivid dreams you have just before you wake up. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Gustavo R Trippy anime. Childhood friends , Sasuke and Natsume. When Natsume gets nostalgic about the lose of her adopted grandfather, she spends time at the abandoned apartment building where he used to live. When Sasuke and other school friends find her, the whole building appears to be drifting in the ocean. Good animation. Story is a little trippy.

The characters are fun and the plot is intriguing, and the visuals the film presents are spectacular. I highly recommend it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review THE NASHVILLE I Very pleasant, but it seriously lacks premise. The characters are well developed and actually likeable enough you stay invested in them. Sadly though the plot really does “Drift” too much without setting up the stakes and ideas in the story. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Joseph R Love it, it feels like it comes from a child’s imagination. Many people mention how pacing is lacking but, the pacing is better than it ever could be especially when these kids are trapped drifting on an apartment they know precisely how to keep the story going before the audience loses attention. Stunning visuals, there are many points where I was given chills from the animation of some scenes. Amazing stories, again some people mention how the story was predictable, but imagine this from the mind of a child. One thing I haven’t heard enough about is the score there isn’t much I can say but it was amazing, truly can’t put it to words. This is an amazing movie, nowadays people think too literally about movies. One of my favorite things to do is shut my brain off and watch a movie instead of going through a movie and trying to guess what happens next and then precede to call it predictable. A movie being “predictable” isn’t always a bad thing and if you think about it every movie is predictable because of a little thing called the heroes journey. Don’t worry about being predictable worry about executing that predictability. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Audience Member What a breathtaking experience. This movie follows a group of kids transported on an abandoned apartment complex floating through an endless sea with all of them learning to work and cooperate with one another to survive and escape. The dynamic between Kosuke and Natsume can be frustrating to watch yet engages the audience. Noppo's kindness and supernatural aura makes him the best out of these kids, making his farewell hit like a punch to the stomach. Studiopolis's English dub is not particularly special, a bit weird to hear adults trying to sound like children. The ending can feel a little rushed, but bearable. The animation is breathtaking, amazing lighting with fluid motion to compliment. Unfortunately, its daunting 2 hour runtime, as well as its slower pacing can deter new viewers. Despite that, this film was a pleasure to behold and has been the best movie I've seen in recent memory, deserving of a rating of 8.17/10. A bit saddening the score isn't higher.
