L'etranger de la Plage

The film starts off with a speedy development, to get the introductions out of the way then it goes striaght into the two love birds cultavating their relationship. I urge you to watch this film alert as the animation is beutiful and there are plenty of subltatlies you might miss. The only bad thing I can say is that the movie wasn't long enough, as is a recurring theme with movies of the BL genre. I look forward to a sequel if the creaters see fit to bless us with one.

Ive aded it to my watch list but where do i watch it?

I had been eagerly waiting for this movie for a long time, and I finally got to watch it yesterday. By far, one of the best BL stories I've ever seen. It doesn't fetishize their relationship and shows genuine romance between the two characters, neither of them being bland in personality or too pushy like in a lot of BL stories. What really made it for me was the concept that it's not always easy being lgbt, and sometimes it is very difficult to accept and it's not always going to be sunshines and rainbows in terms of accepting that about yourself. The art style was also gorgeous, there wasn't a single scene that felt sloppy or lacking; some of the scenery left me in awe. I heavily recommend this movie, not only for the cute romance but also for a breath of fresh air if you're looking for a new type of story. I definitely plan to watch it again.

Umibe no Etranger, for starters is a visually dazzling anime which had a good plot and an okay storyline, if good.

At 58 minutes, the movie fell short and there was sudden change in pacing (time skip of 3 years) after few minutes the anime started. There could have been a little more space for proper character development. The animation by Studio Hibari was top notch and the beautiful setting as well.

It's a good attempt to show a genuine, innocent love between 2 boys and I appreciate it, but it would have been more better if there was some sort of depth in the story and a bit more exposure of the side characters as well.

Nonetheless, the movie explores the Shounen Ai genre decently and was well made, if not brilliant. If announced, would love to see a sequel with a bit stronger story and development.

My Rating : 6/10.

I've been waiting for this movie for a long time and I was not disappointed. The animation it's great and the story cute. I recomend it 100%!!!
