Children Of The Sea: Review (Scotland Loves Anime) anitay.kinja.com

Towards the end of Children of the Sea, main character Ruka states “I didn’t even understand anything that happened at all.” She’s doing an excellent job as an audience stand-in.
Children of the Sea continues this grand tradition, while adding a touch of sweet teenage anime summer romance and a heady dash of bombastic End of Evangelion apocalyptic insanity for good measure.
They converse in obfuscated language about “The Festival” and about grand cosmic ideas linking the sea of stars with the earthly sea.
I would recommend this to anime fans who value sheer unbridled visual artistry above any other movie-watching concerns.
