comment
Wave!! Let's Go Surfing!! is a Japanese mixed-media project created by the multimedia studio MAGES. Set in the city of Oarai in Ibaraki prefecture, the story centers on Masaki Hinaoka, a clumsy and socially awkward high school freshman who befriends transfer student and surfing prodigy Shou Akitsuki before the summer break, and ends up getting hooked on surfing. Through his quest to master the sport, Masaki will get to know new friends, and will also drift apart from them in his journey to adulthood.The series was initially released in Japan as a theatrical trilogy of films, before being re-cut into a twelve-episode anime series. It can currently be seen on Crunchyroll.

Scenery Censor: A running gag involves Masaki jumping up excitedly while in the onsen, forgetting that he is naked. In every case, he is covered from the waist down by an object in the foreground. The third time this happens, it becomes an I Am Spartacus moment when they all stand up naked to make a victory pact before the final surfing event.

Aborted Arc: Just what exactly led Shou to do... that? It's never explained, nor is the phone message that seems to have triggered it ever revealed. Naoya also has clear underlying issues beyond his anime obsession. At one point the characters try to get to the bottom of it, but then it's just... forgotten about.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hayamichi comes off as this at first. However, he is trying to teach Masaki that he must develop his own style and technique in order to succeed, and not just imitate his hero. Similarly, Nalu can come off as very mocking (he calls Masaki "Corgi" after both his dog and the way he dog-paddles) but it's all in good fun.

Meaningful Name: Nalu means "wave" in Hawaiian. Shou means "small" or "young" in Japanese. He has an older brother. Hayamichi means "quick path" in Japanese. He teaches Masaki some of the most important lessons towards his mastering the art of surfing.

Determinator: Masaki, quite frankly, sucks at surfing. But he will do whatever it takes, even if it means being mocked by his friends and nearly drowning more than a few times, to master it. He also attempts to learn how to surf before he even knows how to swim. Kosuke, who is so driven and competitive that he often overworks himself or trains too hard. He never misses a day of practice.

The Power of Friendship: This is one of the more friendship-positive entries into the sports anime genre. These characters stick together no matter what, and their relationships, though sometimes tough, never become adversarial. This is actually Truth in Television, as surfing friendships are generally formed very fast.
