"It's a Japanese comedy about a group of male synchronised swimmers - how cool is that!? Well, "not very", you'd be forgiven for thinking... certainly I wouldn't have been interested, if not for consistently positive low level press amongst the internet community. Thankfully, the warm response is quite justified - Waterboys takes its seemingly mundane premise (perhaps more resonant in patriarchal Japan) and turns it into a delightful little comedy. Suzuki is the only member of the swimming team at Tadano Boy's High School... until the new swimming teacher arrives..."
