“Ride Your Wave” / “きみと、波にのれたら “ / ”Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara“

I found this movie to be amazing. There is so much I would love to unpack, but I also don’t want to spoil anything. 

This movies story, to me, was brilliant. I loved every last second of it. Through out the film I laughed, smiled, cried, felt anger, etc. I hit about every emotion, besides boredom. I was a tsunami of emotions all packed in a single hour and half masterpiece.

The soundtrack, or really just the one song, was all it needed. The connection that that the two main characters shared with that song set the foundation to the whole movie. The voice actors being the two who sings it in the film, gave them a bond that would last forever and ever. With that being said, if this movie is in another language, I’m not for sure if you would be able to get the same bond between the main characters. The song is needed and it really needs to be sung by them to make you know and understand it is “their song.” I am definitely interested in watching it again dubbed to see if the connection is lost or not, but that is for another review.

The visualizations of the movie is stunning. While you can see in gif I posted the animation quality is not like your standard quality you see now days, the movements and colors of everything are so fluid and stunning. The angles at which they show the characters help set the mood that is going on. Showing perspectives from many of the characters will give strong emotions on what the characters are feeling. Watching a character a cry through the water gives you the visuals of crying. I just loved how they put it all together.

The animation style worked amazing for the story. While the animation was not comparable to Bones, Madhouse, or Studio Ghibli, I mean Studio Ghibli is Studio Ghibli of course, the  animation that was used in this film was perfect for it. It was a “wavy” animation I’m not for sure how to explain it, but it flowed with the rest of the movie that helped tell as single story. I’m not for sure if this film would have worked the same way with a different studio. It was just complemented each other and really worked so well.

In the end this was definitely a 10/10 and I recommend this “Ride Your Wave” to everyone, especially those who love Shoujo.

Did a quick sketch at work using a cookie jar as model. Loved it.

When Mac did this pose in the beginning of the latest season, all I saw was Jotaro! I had to draw this!

Fragile masculinity is so bad, they have to put a "Tough Guy" logos on toilet seat covers and even soap dispensers so men don't feel it's too feminine for basic hygiene. Really funny, but also sad....

I was looking up some stuff on Masahiro Sakurai, and saw this. Is there a reason behind the first pic? Haha

Stan Lee may have passed from this Universe, but he created an entire new one he will live on through.

RIP Stan Lee.

Who doesn't love Space?

Sixty Years of Exploration, Innovation, and Discovery!

Exactly sixty years ago today, we opened our doors for the first time. And since then, we have opened up a universe of discovery and innovation. 

There are so many achievements to celebrate from the past six decades, there’s no way we can go through all of them. If you want to dive deeper into our history of exploration, check out NASA: 60 Years and Counting. 

In the meantime, take a moonwalk down memory lane with us while we remember a few of our most important accomplishments from the past sixty years!

In 1958, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, which effectively created our agency. We officially opened for business on October 1. 

To learn more about the start of our space program, watch our video: How It All Began. 

Alongside the U.S. Air Force, we implemented the X-15 hypersonic aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s to improve aircraft and spacecraft. 

The X-15 is capable of speeds exceeding Mach 6 (4,500 mph) at altitudes of 67 miles, reaching the very edge of space. 

Dubbed the “finest and most productive research aircraft ever seen,” the X-15 was officially retired on October 24, 1968. The information collected by the X-15 contributed to the development of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programs. 

To learn more about how we have revolutionized aeronautics, watch our Leading Edge of Flight video. 

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. The crew of Apollo 11 had the distinction of completing the first return of soil and rock samples from beyond Earth. 

Astronaut Gene Cernan, during Apollo 17, was the last person to have walked on the surface of the moon. (For now!)

The Lunar Roving Vehicle was a battery-powered rover that the astronauts used during the last three Apollo missions. 

To learn more about other types of technology that we have either invented or improved, watch our video: Trailblazing Technology.

Our long-term Earth-observing satellite program began on July 23, 1972 with the launch of Landsat 1, the first in a long series (Landsat 9 is expected to launch in 2020!) We work directly with the U.S. Geological Survey to use Landsat to monitor and manage resources such as food, water, and forests. 

Landsat data is one of many tools that help us observe in immense detail how our planet is changing. From algae blooms to melting glaciers to hurricane flooding, Landsat is there to help us understand our own planet better. 

Off the Earth, for the Earth.

To learn more about how we contribute to the Earth sciences, watch our video: Home, Sweet Home. 

Space Transportation System-1, or STS-1, was the first orbital spaceflight of our Space Shuttle program. 

The first orbiter, Columbia, launched on April 12, 1981. Over the next thirty years, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour would be added to the space shuttle fleet. 

Together, they flew 135 missions and carried 355 people into space using the first reusable spacecraft.

On January 16, 1978, we selected a class of 35 new astronauts–including the first women and African-American astronauts. 

And on June 18, 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman to enter space on board Challenger for STS-7. 

To learn more about our astronauts, then and now, watch our Humans in Space video.

Everybody loves Hubble! The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990, and has been blowing our minds ever since. 

Hubble has not only captured stunning views of our distant stars and galaxies, but has also been there for once-in-a-lifetime cosmic events. For example, on January 6, 2010, Hubble captured what appeared to be a head-on collision between two asteroids–something no one has ever seen before.

In this image, Hubble captures the Carina Nebula illuminating a three-light-year tall pillar of gas and dust. 

To learn more about how we have contributed to our understanding of the solar system and beyond, watch our video: What’s Out There?

Cooperation to build the International Space Station began in 1993 between the United States, Russia, Japan, and Canada. 

The dream was fully realized on November 2, 2000, when Expedition 1 crew members boarded the station, signifying humanity’s permanent presence in space!

Although the orbiting lab was only a couple of modules then, it has grown tremendously since then! 

To learn more about what’s happening on the orbiting outpost today, visit the Space Station page.

We have satellites in the sky, humans in orbit, and rovers on Mars. Very soon, we will be returning humankind to the Moon, and using it as a platform to travel to Mars and beyond.

And most importantly, we bring the universe to you. 

What are your favorite NASA moments? We were only able to share a few of ours here, but if you want to learn about more important NASA milestones, check out 60 Moments in NASA History or our video, 60 Years in 60 Seconds.

A slowmotion video I took the other day of a storm that came through.

First Blood was a movie based around police brutality. People of all backgrounds and ethnicities love this movie, yet not one person says Rambo should have just complied with the officers.
