“An excellent film, very easy to watch and proof that both Okita and Non are currently at the top of their game.” – Asian Movie Pulse
Meebo has life-long obsession with sea creatures, spending school days reading a fish encyclopaedia, visiting the local aquarium octopus, and drawing detailed crustaceans instead of paying attention in class. Meebo dedicates his life to becoming a “fish expert” and drifts from failed job to failed job (at a sea park, at a sushi bar), struggling to figure out how to build a career around his passion. Meebo has an incredibly life-affirming spirit and is ready to share optimism.
Loosely based on the life of celebrity marine biologist Sakana-kun, this gentle fish-a-holic comedy-drama is “an instant cult favourite, it’s sure to charm the pants off just about everybody who encounters it” – thereelbits.com. Non was nominated for the Japanese Academy Award for her role.
