Spoiler Alert Josee to tora to sakana tachi is a story based on a wheelchairbound girl called Joseeas seen on the cover and the boy Tsueno. Trailer was extremely well received Eve is singing the theme song animation looked good and story felt emotional from the trailer sounds like a great setup right? RIGHT Well lets jump to the actual review Story 4/10 weakest link Starting with the most important partfor me for any medium Josees story is... subpar. Within first half hour you can get the smell of cliche. Boy meets girl they dont vibe spend more time together for a reason develops feeling and few problems and obstacles later they hold handslewd. THE END. Story is the weakest link for the anime and most of the time there is not much explanation and deep reason behind the characters motivations. Stuff just happens deal with it. Animation 9/10 strongest link Animations was awesome. I loved the camera angles waves water background. What the anime lacks in story makes up in animation. First few minutes were orgasmic with the camera work and also no noticeable drop throughout. Character Designs 7/10 I dont know if its just me but the male protagonist heavily reminded of the protagonist of I want to eat your pancreas. Character design looked almost copy and generic. Second male character design actually looked better than the main which shouldnt be. To sum up the male side designs are generic and forgettable. Now the Waifus tho beautiful designs although still a little inspired but still great. Josees design was a breath of fresh air and her transformation was THE THING. Mais design was perfect from the beginning although she did remind me of hanabi from scums wish when she acted like a bitch once. I may have a thing for short hair but theres now way to prove Sound and music 7.5/10 Voice acting is better than good. You can feel the emotions in some moments. I really enjoyed the theme song although might be unpopular opinion but it isnt the best of Eve. Music fits the anime where its supposed to but a part of me expected more. I expected to feel a lot more emotions after the trailer but unfortunately it is what it is. Overall pretty good. Overall rating 6.87/10 Finally i would like to end by saying its up to you to watch it or not. You are not going to miss anything if you stayed away from it. Its not another Your Name or Silent Voice although there is no point in comparing. Tldr I had expectations from this movie and it didnt stand up to it. Dont get your hopes up some might rate it but its borderline good at best. Animation is awesome and best part of the movie. Story is pretty average voice acting is good and music felt great.
