First half of the story was awesome but they really messed it up in the later with all that hallucination stuff. Even after all that I thought the climax would be better but it became even more weirder with no logic whatsoever. The only good thing about the movie was its simple animation style. I rated this movie 6/10 only because of the first 35 minutes, otherwise it would be a 2/10.

I bawled my eyes out and sobbed for hours it was so good BUT MINATO U LIVE ON IN MY HEART❤❤❤

So sad. It is imposible not to cry

Impossible not to cry. 😅

I didn't expect this to be like this. I cried so much, their relationship was something else.

It is an audio-visually beautiful made movie. The story''s strangeness is kind of endearing, but for some reason gave me a weird feeling at the end. Would say about a 7.4. It''s a good watch and would even be worth it just for the visuals, but don''t expect brilliance.

Got to watch it in Fantasia 2019! Riding a Wave with You is a touching story on how people live life, drawing some power from visual metaphors along the way. I personally have watched too much anime, that I can no longer pick up new series without readily detecting the writing patterns the last 10 or so years have tired me with. Riding a Wave with You, however, breaks away from all these writing weaknesses, and offers you a fresh new story, devoid of today's mainstream anime drivel. It is a good pick to watch if you can, so I would highly recommend it!
