Bubbleblabber’s Definitive Five Best Adult Animation Films Of 2020
5) Ride Your Wave (English Dub)
Ride Your Wave is an absolute triumph and underneath its fantastical framework of surfing, music, and love is one of the more creative and inspiring stories about grief and loss that you’ll come across. It pairs its delightful visuals with some very heavy subject matter in a way that feels like a small step forward for Yuasa. Ride Your Wave may amount to “lesser Yuasa” in the end, but that still means that it’s one of the most gorgeous films that you’ll see this year and that it contains an exceptionally moving love story that will melt your heart. Hinako and Minato are some of the most enjoyable characters from out of Yuasa’s filmography and it’s impossible for their infectious magic to not rub off on you. If you’re able to catch this in theaters, it’s a must-see experience that will inspire everyone out there to not only go and find their wave, but ride it, too.

There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
