You’ve heard about being stranded in the ocean on a boat. But have you ever
heard about being stranded in the ocean in a goddang apartment? You’ll see it soon enough.
A boy named Kosuke can be seen looking at an apartment building. Kosuke used to live
there during his childhood. But now, the apartments are about to be demolished.
Kosuke and a girl named Natsume used to be best friends when they were little and lived in those
apartments. But, something happened in their lives, which caused them to drift apart. Now,
they live in different apartments and they don’t even talk to each other.
Soon, their summer vacations start and Kosuke sneaks into his old apartment building with
two friends Taishi the little brat and Yuzuru the fat kid. Taishi is especially excited to capture
some ghosts, because this old apartment has a rumour of being haunted. They reach
the apartment which belonged to Kosuke’s late grandfather, Yasuji. There, they find
Natsume sleeping peacefully in a closet. Natsume says that she’s here to look for
a boy named Noppo. While going to the roof of the apartment, Natsume says that she met Noppo in the
apartment. However, no one knows who Noppo is. Just below, a girl who has a major crush on
Kosuke, called Reina sees them playing. So, Reina and her best friend Juri go up to them. Reina is a
spoiled brat so she immediately starts teasing Natsume for having an old camera. The camera
belonged to Kosuke’s late grandfather and he accuses Natsume of stealing people’s stuff. So,
Natsume gets angry. She was really close with Kosuke’s grandfather too. She pushes
him and takes the camera back from him. Kosuke chases her so she climbs on a high
pole. However, she slips and falls. Kosuke catches her on time but she still slips and
falls. Suddenly, a strange and powerful burst of rain covers them entirely. And just as suddenly,
the skies clear up and the apartment is floating in an ocean. Told you!
Natsume manages to survive because of the water. Taishi looks underwater and says
that their building is floating. They also see another building floating beside them,
but it just passes them. And of course, a story like this is not complete without
a loss of signals on their cell phones. They ask Natsume what could have caused this,
but she replies that she does not know. Natsume goes downstairs and comes across a strange boy
just sitting there. The rest of the kids try all sorts of methods like SOS, fireworks, etc,
but nothing seems to get anyone else’s attention. They go downstairs but a creepy boy starts coming
down, so they run away until they reach a room with fire and candles. Natsume is sitting there.
She reveals that the scary guy is actually Noppo and he used to live in this apartment some time
ago. She and Noppo have known each other for some time. She opens the cabinets and reveals lots of
food that they can eat. Natsume also reveals that she has been in this strange place before too.
But, when she slept, she always woke up in the normal world. But, Kosuke is still too stubborn
and says that they need to focus on escaping. They all sleep. But the next day, when they wake
up, they’re still in the strange water-world. So, they start adapting to their new place. But
over time, their food starts running out. Reina gets depressed and she starts blaming Natsume.
One day, another building approaches their building. So, Kosuke throws a zipline across.
Then, he ziplines across like a true badass. However, the place is empty. It was an old
swimming pool that was demolished a long time ago. Natsume also comes after him and they look around.
But, no food. So, they go towards some vending machines. However, Natsume falls on glass and
hurts her knee. Kosuke quickly fixes her injury. Then, they work together to break the vending
machines while arguing all the time. However, the machine does not break. On top of that,
the building is drifting away and their friends call them back. As they are both getting sad,
they suddenly spot a bag full of emergency rations. They take it and go back.
Everyone is happy to have something to eat. They also discover a town on the horizon.
Everyone starts adjusting to their new lives and accepts it like normal. One night, Kosuke
sees Noppo caressing an injury on his wrist. So, the next day, he confronts Noppo, asking
him who he really is. Noppo says that he’s been living in this apartment ever since it was built,
which was a long long time ago. He shows his arm and the entire Amazon rainforest is growing there.
They get scared, but they all overcome their fears and they start getting to know him better.
One night, they see another building approaching them. This time, it’s a department store. Kosuke,
Natsume and Noppo all go together. The department store was closed 6 years ago.
They don’t find any food there. Natsume says that she has a bad memory of this place because
her parents got into an argument there. Suddenly, the department store and their
apartment crash into each other. So, they start running back. But,
the water turns blue and an image of a crying girl can be seen. They ignore it and run back.
Taishi also almost falls but Reina and Juri save him. And suddenly, Juri falls. Natsume climbs
the building, all Assassin’s Creed style. Natsume manages to save Juri but SHE gets hurt and falls
underwater. There, a strange and dark blob tries to pull them. But, Kosuke and Noppo save her.
Juri gets hurt terribly, while Noppo loses a foot. And his foot
seems to be made of some weird material. Reina cries for her best friend, Juri and
she blames Natsume. Didn’t she SAVE Juri earlier? weirdo... Natsume gets depressed. She and Kosuke
start talking properly again. We look to the past and see that Natsume grew up in a violent family
and her parents got divorced when she was young. It was Kosuke’s grandpa Yasuji who accepted her
and she grew up alongside Kosuke. Grandpa Yasuji also gave her a stuffed toy and she and Kosuke
have a lot of good memories with it. Suddenly, more buildings appear in the
sea. The sky also releases a strange and beautiful light for just a short moment.
The next morning, yuzuru gives them some bad news. The building is starting to flood. So, they go to
Noppo and ask him to reveal everything he knows. Suddenly, bright blue light jumps out of Noppo and
hits them. And just like that, they start seeing visions of the past, everything that Noppo saw.
Noppo says that he’s a part of this building and he has seen Kosuke and Natsume grow up together
with so much happiness. He’s not sure, but he THINKS that he’s the reason they’re all here in
this ocean. He doesn’t know how to return though. Reina starts scolding him. But, Juri wakes up with
cinematic timing and Reina calms down immediately. Noppo tells them to take a raft and escape this
place. They should not worry about him. So, the kids prepare to leave. Natsume wants
Noppo to come with them because he has been a part of their lives for so long. However,
Reina behaves like your typical annoying girl and is against the idea. Natsume
becomes more stubborn, so Kosuke scolds her. The water starts flooding more so the kids hurry
to leave. Natsume and Kosuke spend one last tender moment in grandpa Yasuji’s room. Then,
they get on top of the building and onto the raft. Natsume and Kosuke try to take
Noppo with them. But, Noppo pushes them into the raft, saying that he’ll go with the building.
But, Natsume cannot bear to let go of Noppo. So, she swims back towards him.
It’s dangerous so Kosuke swims after her. It’s dangerous AGAIN so Yuzuru swims after them.
Suddenly, a huge torrent of rain blocks Natsume and Noppo from the rest of them. Yuzuru manages
to save Kosuke and takes him back. While he’s all depressed, strange magical lights surround
them and hit them all. They all see their own parents waiting for them back home.
Kosuke suddenly sees a vision of Natsume walking away towards the apartment, symbolizing that
she’s going to die with the building. Just then, they all see a huge ferris wheel passing them.
Meanwhile, Natsume and Noppo are sitting on the roof of the building, completely drenched
in stormwater. We also finally get to see why Natsume and Kosuke stopped talking. When
they were going to meet grandpa Yasuji at the hospital, Natsume got upset with him for some
reason and left. Grandpa Yasuji immediately told Kosuke to go and apologize. He died a
short time later and Kosuke did not get to say goodbye because he was out looking for Natsume.
Natsume starts getting guilty and depressed, saying that she’ll just disappear. Suddenly,
they hear the others calling their name. And through the dark clouds, the huge and beautiful
ferris wheel comes through. Kosuke and the other boys quickly work together to save Natsume.
Reina almost falls into the ocean, but the spirit of the ferris wheel
who is just like Noppo, saves Reina. Natsume fights back against Kosuke,
but Kosuke yells at her, saying that he missed his time with her. This apartment was their old
home but they need to let it go in order to go back to their present homes. Natsume also cries
with happiness and she agrees to go back. The ferris wheel pulls the apartment out of
the water, but the wire starts to break. So, the spirit of the amusement park along with the rest
of the kids work really hard to hold the line. However, the line is unable to hold and the ferris
wheel starts breaking. The apartment building also starts sinking. Kosuke almost falls so Natsume
saves him. Then, NATSUME almost falls so Kosuke saves HER….wiiiiiith a little help from Noppo.
The three of them hold on together as the apartment goes underwater. The slimy dark
things from before pull them apart. But, Noppo grabs them just in time. He uses the most powerful
thing in any anime. The Power Of Friendship! He becomes a shining blue light and makes the
dark things disappear. Noppo holds them safely while they go back to safety.
They arrive at safe place where there are no storms. The other guys also arrive there. Before
leaving, Reina thanks the amusement park spirit. This was the place where Reina’s father used
to take her, so she had a lot of memories here. They all go back to the apartment and they ride it
until they come to an island. The island is full of beautiful lights. They see some people so they
decide to go there, but Noppo stops them. He says that only he can go down. They are all spirits
of other demolished buildings. If the normal kids go down, they won’t be able to return.
Natsume is considering not going back. But, Kosuke has accepted her again, so she decides to go back.
Noppo hugs them and the blue lights come again. He goes down with the other spirits
while the apartment starts moving away. They all wave Noppo goodbye. Then, the blue
lights carry the building into the skies. The kids wake up in the apartment in
their own town. They wish a final goodbye to the building and leave.
Soon after, the building is demolished. But, Natsume and Kosuke are as close as ever. And the
six of them are super close friends now. They also have proof that they did not dream everything that
happened. As they have photos from the camera. If you enjoy the video don’t forget to leave
