For those who haven’t seen Ocean Waves (1993), please enjoy this as a queer romance drama short story. The goal is that you can read this story independent of your knowledge of the original movie (because let’s be honest, not many people have seen it). Most of the dialogue is translated directly from the movie, but written in my style to try and remain consistent style-wise. I believe it is possible to completely change the romance in this movie while remaining mostly canon-compliant.

This is a fan-fiction writing project based on the 1993 Ghibli animated TV Movie, Ocean Waves. Until its US release in 2016, it was a rare film for. The ‘fathers’ of Ghibli were looking to develop successors in the early and mid 1990s and they had Tomomi Mochizuki in to direct Ocean Waves, and I recently learnt that other studios were involved in the actual production too.ĭefinitely worth a look for completionists perhaps, or maybe folks interested in 1990s Japan as there’s a bit of slice of life detail too.JustGJ Fandoms: 海がきこえる | Ocean Waves (1993) Ultimately the project went over budget and over schedule, eventually airing on local television in 1993 and failing to make much of an impact. I guess it is in a way, since fewer people tend to mention it and I don’t believe it’s had a dub just yet. Having said all that, Ocean Waves is by no means a poor film and many folks regard it as an underappreciated part of the Ghibli catalogue. Sure, it’s a story about teens and the things that hold them back from being honest… but still, I didn’t end up seeing her as someone Taku or Yutaka should have fallen for. It’s often considered one of the worst Ghibli movies in exis. Usually that’s enough for me to really enjoy an animated work on at least some levels but I can’t help but think of Rikako as a villain in most ways, which marred my enjoyment. Ocean Waves is a little-known movie produced by the famous Japanese anime studio, Studio Ghibli. Ocean Waves is a teen romance with a love triangle, which is where much of the drama comes from, though there are a few comedic moments too (like the bathtub-as-bed offer).Ĭompared to other Ghibli films it’s perhaps a little slight, being a bit shorter (as most TV movies are) and having a fairly narrow focus in terms of its story, but it’s still quite lovely visually.
