No dragons. No witches. Just the tidal pull of first love and the ache of looking back at your 17-year-old self. Ocean Waves -1993-1993

The most misunderstood Ghibli film. Rikako is a nightmare. Taku is a pushover. And somehow, it’s perfect.

Have you watched it? Did you find Rikako frustrating or sympathetic? Text: Ocean Waves (1993) – A quiet earthquake of a movie. 🌊 No witches

Often called the "forgotten Ghibli," this TV movie was created by the younger studio staff (including a pre-fame Hideaki Anno on voice acting). Unlike Totoro or Mononoke , there are no spirits or gods here—just high school drama, misunderstood feelings, and a boy who can’t forget a girl named Rikako.

It aired only once in 1993 on TV, but its legacy lives on.
