Set in a Tokyo where bubbles reign, it’s a fascinating concept that unfortunately doesn't always deliver on its promise. The characters, while intriguing, can feel underdeveloped, and the emotional beats occasionally miss their mark. The dynamic between the young man and the mysterious girl is sweet, yet I found myself wishing for more substance in their interactions. The animation is superb, with vibrant colours and fluidity that captures the essence of this whimsical world. However, the narrative feels stretched, leading to moments of disengagement. If you're looking for stunning visuals and a unique premise, Bubble might be worth a watch, but don't expect a fully fleshed-out story. Show less
