An old man who is the headmaster of a primary school bordering the ocean paints a picture of a whale, an animal he had seen so often off the coast when he was a boy and now sees all too seldom. He reminisces about his youth, when he simply considered whales a source of food, though he vividly remembers a time when a whale was speared by a whaling ship. He knew of no other way to treat whales then. But that day he sees the first whale he has done in a long time - and it is beached against the rocks. He races out of the school to come to the whale's aid..

dynamicSome of the central structural elements in anime are Plot Continuity, Stereotype Characters and Plot Twists.

· castno description set

· · male protagonistThis anime has a male protagonist. weightless

· character drivenThe main appeal of the show is the way the characters are portrayed and interact, focusing on dialogue, spending time together or getting to know each other. These anime are not "story-less" but story is secondary to character development and the characters themselves and what they experience. weightless

· long time spanThe anime spans a much longer than usual (for that genre) period of time, typically several years (possibly decades or even centuries). Example: In a school setting this could mean the character development is followed from school through college right into working life and the founding of a family with children. weightless

· slow-pacedThe story — including its characters and events — develop slowly. May contain a weak continuity of plot and/or character development. Or may be a story telling device to increase the "sense of foreboding" in an anime with thriller or horror setting. weightless

maintenance tagsThese tags are used for maintenance.

· CAST MISSINGImportant characters are missing, either in-part or entirely. This includes basic entry info (name, gender, picture), appear episode range, seiyuu and/or tags. weightless

· TO BE MOVED TO CHARACTERTags under this parent tag are going to be moved to character tags and removed from the anime they`re currently assigned to. They will be blocked from the anime system once that move is complete. Please help with that job if you know what characters they should be assigned to.

· · whaleno description set weightless

originno description set

· Japanese productionno description set weightless

original workWhat the anime is based on! This is given as the original work credit in the OP. Mostly of academic interest, but a useful bit of info, hinting at the possible depth of story.

· newNot based on anything, the story is a new work, usually made up by the people involved in creating the anime. Generally if an original work (原作) credit is given, it will be to the studio, or director, or other members of the production team. weightless

settingThe setting describes in what time and place an anime takes place. To a certain extent it describes what you can expect from the world in the anime.

· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.

· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. ***

· · oceanThe large bodies of salt water surrounding the continents and islands are a (significant) setting of this anime. +

· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.

· · presentSomewhere between past and future. ***

technical aspectsIt may sometimes be useful to know about technical aspects of a show, such as information about its broadcasting or censorship. Such information can be found here.

· experimental animationThis anime uses distinct, alternative animation — much unlike other contemporary anime — either throughout or in individual episodes/sequences. weightless

· short movieTypically used when an OVA only has one part and is less than the usual 20 to 25 minutes in length. So instead of calling it a `short episode`, the `short movie` tag is more appropriate. weightless

themesThemes describe the very central elements important to the anime stories. They set the backdrop against which the protagonists must face their challenges. Be it School Life, present Daily Life, Military action, Cyberpunk, Law and Order detective work, Sports, or the Underworld. These are only but a few of the more typical backgrounds for anime plots. Add to that a Conspiracy setting with a possible tragic outcome, the Themes span most of the imaginable subject matter relevant to anime.

· ecologyNature and ecology are a central theme of this anime. *+

· environmentalismEnvironmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural environment on individual, organizational or governmental levels, for the benefit of both the natural environment and humans. Due to the pressures of population and technology, the biophysical environment is being degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation. Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of the various environmental issues. (Source: Wikipedia) weightless

· nostalgiaA bitter-sweet longing for things, persons, or situations from the past. weightless
