My Neighbours the Yamadas is not a film you should seek out, if you're looking for something in the vein of classic Studio Ghibli masterpieces, such as Princess Mononoke (1997) or Spirited Away (2001). Literally every single aspect of this film is different.

"Ocean Waves" aims for nothing more than to capture a boy's infatuation with a girl, wrapped in a slightly more mature narration from the boy himself, as he looks back on the events, clearly wiser from the experience.
