Synopsis

Equipped with his passion for diving and admiration for marine biology, university student Tsuneo Suzukawa tries his best to juggle several part-time jobs to earn enough money to study abroad. But one night, in a fateful accident, he meets a girl in a wheelchair, driving his current path into a detour.

The girl, Kumiko—who prefers to be called "Josee"—initially comes off as rude. Tsuneo, however, is then convinced by Josee's grandmother to take on the paid job to be Josee's caretaker. Despite being annoyed with her bossy demeanor, Tsuneo sees the opportunity to save more funds to support his academic dream. Nonetheless, after putting up with Josee's behavior for some time, Tsuneo tries to quit, only to discover Josee's dreams of traversing the outside world—to experience a life free from her crippling condition.

Changing his mind, Tsuneo decides to accompany Josee in exploring the wonders that the world has to offer. Through their time together, the two begin to realize that the traits that bind them may be vital toward fulfilling their respective aspirations.

For some reason, I was sure I would cry, but I didn't, but I still thought it was a wonderful movie. Its art is beautiful, its story is beautiful, and its message is beautiful. It was definitely an incredible experience.
The anime follows Tsuneo, a biology student who dreams of studying in Mexico. In order to earn money, he ends up working for an elderly woman, helping a girl in a wheelchair who calls herself Josee. As the story progresses, Tsuneo begins to understand Josee's troubled thoughts and, as a result, becomes more interested in her.
At first, I have to admit that I was irritated by ...

Mixed Feelings

Not a bad watch by any means, but it doesn't have a conclusion besides a surface level "never give up" wisdom. Will explain that further below with minor spoilers. The movie feels a bit short, but it really isn't, it's just a bit slow so it feels short. Still an enjoyable experience, but leaves you with a bad taste.

The 2 main characters seem well written but they're not being showcased deeply, we don't get much insight into their feelings. I don't mind if an anime refuses to use internal monologues at all, I even like they take the challenge, it can be viewed as a ...

I consider myself a very patient person. It takes a lot to get under my skin. Even when I watch bad anime, I still enjoy riffing on the flaws.

Josee, the Tiger and the Fish managed to irritate me. Trying to finish it was like waiting at the end of a school day, watching the clock tick tick tick… I constantly paused to take in the frustrating decisions the characters made, then brace myself for more melodrama. The protagonist, Tsuneo, is a lot like me. Maybe that's why I had such a strong reaction to it. We're both 22-year-old guys planning to study abroad, working a ...
