Synopsis:

Set in a secluded coastal town steeped in maritime tradition, this series follows Ren, a young individual grappling with a unique connection to the ocean's currents. Initially content with a quiet life, Ren's world is subtly disrupted by unusual occurrences – unexplained phenomena linked to the sea and whispers of forgotten histories. The narrative unfolds through observations of daily life interwoven with these unsettling events, exploring themes of isolation, inherited responsibility, and the delicate balance between humanity and nature. As Ren begins to understand their potential role in safeguarding the town's past, they must navigate complex relationships with community members while confronting a growing sense of foreboding about the ocean’s depths. The series cultivates a contemplative atmosphere, prioritizing character development and atmospheric storytelling over action-driven plots.

    Rate:4 English subtitled Story -pro: a new character is added -negative: Character's contribution is minimal at best. -negative: no underlying message, at least one that isn't clear. -negative: ending is rather abrupt. Artsame art style as the original show. If you had not seen the original the artwork is fair, characters along with background is drawn nicely.nnSoundnno complaintsnnOverall/enjoyment: this episode was a foolish run. If there were follow up episodes i could see potential but this appears to be the last at least for this season. The only feature this episode brought in was a hinted dance teacher. Which works but one could say that position was already filled by another member of the original trio. If you ask me the funniest moment was how the ending was not only questionable but it happened at a moment where certain characters were confused as well. Not many things work well with confusion then more confusion.

    It's pretty much a final episode to the original go go 575 anime. There isn't much to say about it because it is only 3 minutes long and not much happens. Like the original it's a slice of life anime that is supposed to make you feel joy in the end. It's very cute and honestly that's all that it's going for. It's really cool to see the Vocaloids Masaoka Azuki and Kobayashi Matcha, who are both high quality Vocaloid Voice banks. I would only watch the special if you watched the original. It's so short you could probably have watched the entire show notincluding the intro and outro in the same amount of time it took you to read this. I wonder if this series is cannon?
