The director of Attack on Titan helms this boy-meets-girl anime feature set in a rundown Tokyo where gravity's broken and strange bubbles rain down onto the world.
Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building. Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous play style, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers. The pair then hear a unique sound audible only to them. Why did Uta appear before Hibiki? Their encounter leads to a revelation that will change the world.

Decider
Decider"There are moments when the visuals reach borderline-psychedelic heights. If only the film as a whole wasn’t so stubbornly earthbound."

Japan Times
Japan Times"An achingly bland, occasionally attractive unspooling of post-apocalyptic teen-angst clichés..."

South China Morning Post
South China Morning Post"Originality isn’t a strong suit for Bubble. A number of characters are built off of stock archetypes, none as painful as the female protagonist."
