The dialogue’s of the “I wish I had parents! To talk me OUTTA things like this!” school. This isn’t the least interesting story I’ve ever seen told in anime, but it’s right up there. This world will be turned upside down by Uta’s presence in it, and gravity’s increasing unreliability. Boy band wannabes and pixies populate this universe, with rival parkour teams including the cyborgish “Undertakers.” The animation is closer to classic anime in its underanimated jerkiness, the Big Eyed characters and the post-apocalyptic punk milieu. Hibiki, my wide-anime-eyed lad, you’re the “prince” and I am the Little Mermaid!īecause those songs he’s was hearing from that tower? That was her singing. But it’s Matoko’s reading of “The Little Mermaid” to Uta that triggers her desire to speak, and her eagerness to state the obvious. Hibiki mentors her to repay his debt to her. She doesn’t speak, doesn’t appear to have any origin story, and seems to possess magical powers. That’s when the feral pixie he comes to call Uta ( Emi Lo) comes to his rescue.

The Blue Blazers are the best, thanks to their loner parkour ace Hibiki (voiced by Zach Aguilar in the English dub of the film). The only people living in this flooded, ruined Tokyo are hardcore parkour teams who take advantage of the glitches in gravity to compete in streamed and gambled on “Battlekour” games. A “gravity anomaly” heralded by bubbles that rained down on the planet left buildings half-collapsed, suspended pieces of them floating around with trains, rusting out buses and bubbles - always more bubbles It’s set in a literal bubble in a dystopian Tokyo. But when Warner Brothers Animation gets a commission from Netflix, “Bubble” becomes their chance to make a (streaming) feature film. The Japanese WIT studio works primarily in TV. Turning the dark children’s fantasy “The Little Mermaid” into science fiction seems kind of pointless, but as they say in Japan, “Anime’s gonna anime.”
