Umibe no Étranger

Umibe no Etranger, for starters is a visually dazzling anime which had a good plot and an okay storyline, if good.

At 58 minutes, the movie fell short and there was sudden change in pacing (time skip of 3 years) after few minutes the anime started. There could have been a little more space for proper character development. The animation by Studio Hibari was top notch and the beautiful setting as well.

It's a good attempt to show a genuine, innocent love between 2 boys and I appreciate it, but it would have been more better if there was some sort of depth in the story and a bit more exposure of the side characters as well.

Nonetheless, the movie explores the Shounen Ai genre decently and was well made, if not brilliant. If announced, would love to see a sequel with a bit stronger story and development.

My Rating : 6/10.

As someone else said, it doesn't feel as if it was written by a clueless straight person.

The only thing I would say is that it's a bit short and thus fast paced. I think we could've seen more character development and more background. I would love to see more content, maybe even a second movie. But I think that might be because it is so well portrayed.

The scenes were beautiful and the romance was pure and serious. The story felt mature, not as prudish or perverse as some anime are, especially within the BL/LGBTQ genre. It was easy to follow even though it sometimes felt pieces of the story were missing. Overall a great watch.

I've been waiting for this movie for a long time and I was not disappointed. The animation it's great and the story cute. I recomend it 100%!!!

So I can't describe how good this movie was!!! Like it was so perfect I loved it so much!!! I hope there will be a sequel because it was great!! The graphics were next level and the plot was so cute and interesting!!! BUT THE CATS MADE IT SO MUCH BETTER LIKE GOD!! I really loved it! Everyone needs to watch it!

I love the art. It just so cute >< But the plot, well, it's too fast. I didn't feel the whole process of "love", they just fall in love without understanding the other, like loving at first sight. Arggg, I regretted for this movie.
