The stunning thing about The aquatope on white sand isn’t the story—honestly, the story is pretty straightforward—but how well it’s executing the plot and the tropes it’s playing with. Sometimes, simple is best, and aquatope is proving that having solid characterization, beautiful animation, excellent music and sound design, and solid pacing (for now) can make even the simplest story feel out of this world. I’d much rather have a simplistic narrative over a complex story that ultimately can’t deliver.
