Ocean Waves (film)
Ocean Waves, also known as I Can Hear the Sea (海がきこえる, Umi ga Kikoeru?), is a 1993 Japanese anime television film produced by Studio Ghibli. It was directed by Tomomi Mochizuki and written by Kaori Nakamura based on the novel of the same title by Saeko Himuro. The TV special first aired on May 5, 1993 on Nippon TV.
The story is set in the city of Kōchi, on the Japanese island of Shikoku. It concerns a love triangle that develops between two good friends and a new girl who transfers to their high school from Tokyo.
This film was an attempt by Studio Ghibli to allow their younger staff members to make a film reasonably cheaply. However, it ended up going both over budget and over schedule.

“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Dr. Scofield’s equipment, which you have just seen, radiated waves direct to Professor Houghland’s laboratory. When these waves came in contact with those the professor’s equipment was radiating, they created the interstellar frequency, which is the death ray.”
