Dream bubble explode gif3/26/2023 In her final act of love, it isn’t just for Hibiki, it’s for the life she’s had, the joy she’s experienced, and the people she met. She loves him and wants to be near him, but she also has her own identity and strength, impacting everyone around her. ![]() That said, she does develop a personality beyond Hibiki. Maybe due to a short runtime, Bubble features many characters I immediately wanted to know more about, but I know I won’t get that chance.įor her part, Uta embodies elements of a manic pixie dream girl, blue hair and all. While it isn’t flat, it does miss the depth that could be explored. Guided by two adults, this group is rife with material for exploration, especially since Hibiki’s sensitivity to sound has made him slow at feeling like family.īut instead of exploring the strings of found family and larger themes of belonging, the film chooses to embrace the magic around Uta. They train together, eat together, and are the only home that any of them know. Hibiki’s team, the Blue Blaze, are constant winners who have grown together in the city on a large boat. Having all lost their families, the boys who journey into Tokyo have found new ones with their parkour teams. Beauty is just one marker to judge an animated film by, and, unfortunately, other elements of Bubble don’t always land. Whether it’s the fast-paced and intense parkour racing sequences or the character designs themselves (hooray for Hibiki’s crop-top), every bit of the world that WIT has created feels complete. ![]() Add in the fact that the animation features blinding mixed medium elements around black holes and cosmic clouds, and Bubble is undeniably one of the most beautiful animated films I’ve seen, as well as some of WIT’s strongest work. While this is a stunning feat from an action animation perspective, there are small elements, like when hair or clothes move in the wind, that showcases how detailed the team at WIT are in their creation of even the smallest moments. There isn’t a single frame that sputters or loses quality no matter how fast the characters on screen are moving. With high-paced action sequences of characters free-running across a destructed landscape of bubbles and rubble, Bubble is continuously dynamic. To start, studio WIT has made a film that is visually breathtaking. United by a unique sound audible only to them, their relationship begins a chain of events that will reshape the world. There, his life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers who appears suddenly. Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous playstyle, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. Filled with rubble from an explosion that made the city uninhabitable, Tokyo is now a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building. Surrounded by a large bubble, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families. That said, the Netflix Original feature film from studio WIT, director Tetsurô Araki, and writer Gen Urobuchi offers a take on the fairy-tale that embraces hard science-fiction, romance, and enough whimsy and action to make the film shine.Īfter bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world, Tokyo has been cut off from everything. So, I entered Bubble with a little apprehension. I have to be honest, I do not like “ The Little Mermaid.” Something about a girl changing everything about herself to win a guy only to end up as seafoam crashing against the rocks in the end.
