GKIDS and Fathom Events have announced that Ride Your Wave will be available in select U.S. and Canada theaters next month. Ride Your Wave is an anime film from director Masaaki Yuasa, and it looks like a very interesting drama. The visuals look fantastic, and the story shown in the trailer sucked me in.
“
Hinako is a surf-loving college student who has just moved to a small seaside town. When a sudden fire breaks out at her apartment building, she is rescued by Minato, a handsome firefighter, and the two soon fall in love. Just as they become inseparable, Minato loses his life in an accident at sea. Hinako is so distraught that she can no longer even look at the ocean, but one day she sings a song that reminds her of their time together, and Minato appears in the water. From then on, she can summon him in any watery surface as soon as she sings their song, but can the two really remain together forever? And what is the real reason for Minato’s sudden reappearance?”
You’ll be able to watch Ride Your Wave on February 19 at 7 PM local time with an exclusive interview with Eunyoung Choi, one of the producers attached. You can check availability and purchase tickets from Fathom Events or GKIDS.
