Ureshino is a prominent hot spring resort in Saga Prefecture in the northern part of Kyushu Island. A Thai idol called Samut arrives to take part in location shooting for a TV drama. The town is suddenly bubbling with people trying to catch a glimpse of him. Mirai, the only daughter of an inn owner, is not interested in idols at all. What absorbs the unique high school student is observing the mudskippers living on Japan's biggest mudflats (gata) on the shore of the Ariake Sea. However, she happens to encounter Samut when he escapes from the location site, and she finds herself helping him run away. He is heading for the Ariake Sea, with a particular reason to see the vast mudflats. Eager to help him make his wish come true, Mirai makes desperate efforts to deter those who are chasing him. Unable to communicate verbally, will Mirai from Saga Prefecture and Samut from Thailand make it to the mudflats safely? And what will they both gain by overcoming the language barrier?

STORY: A talking mudskipper. Need I say more? No? I will anyways. This story is quite absurd. I did like the idea of a Thai actor in Japan but meeting a high school girl and being able to communicate with her via a mudskipper was just silly. And the story never really gets any less absurd as times goes on.

ACTING/CAST: I really only came to watch Bank Thiti. I watched NHK World's English Dub, since I couldn't find English Sub, and it was...horrific. I don't generally like dubbed stuff overall, but the dubbing was awful. It felt like it was dubbed for an audience comprised of children, or some public service message.

MUSIC: Regular background music, nothing stood out.

REWATCH VALUE: Nah

OVERALL: Maybe I'm overthinking things, but perhaps the intended audience was foreign children who are not familiar with Japan who might want to go there someday when they grow up. BONUS point for shirtless Bank though. +1
