This project had big build up when it was announced that Wit Studio, who animated the first 3 seasons of Attack on Titan, was involved in this movie. It also had the director and producer of the first 3 seasons of Attack on Titan and legendary writer, Gen Urobochi, of Madoka Magica and Psycho pass fame was writing for Bubble (2022). It was also revealed one of the best anime composers, Sawano Hiroyuki, was going to compose for this film. It just screamed amazing!

So imagine my disappointment after watching this film when it turned out to be quite bland. Yes the animation is phenomenal, the music score is god tier and the world itself is pretty interesting. However, the plot is just a very typical boy meets girl situation and it never goes beyond that whatsoever. The characters are just generic, one dimensional and forgettable. I never connect or root for the main characters and the supporting characters just end up being there for the sake of it. There isn't anything at stake until the last 30 minutes of the film. The first 100 is just a slow pace drag of occasional things happening.

It's a shame that with all these industry veterans, this is the best they came up with. At least the visuals and music is astoundingly good.

Quite the disappointment from Araki, Bubble just has nothing to justify its existence for me.

I see a lot of praise for the visuals and there are a few moments of pretty artistic backgrounds but for the most part, the visuals are generic or even straight-up ugly - the same goes for the animation. The voice acting in both the original Japanese and English were also subpar at best. Worst of all is that the story, outside of a couple of unique elements that don't add up to much, is filled with oversaturated beats and bland characters that we've seen more times than I care to think about.
