Bubble

WIT STUDIO sets competitive parkour in a gravity-broken, isolated Tokyo, where a dangerous runner meets a mysterious girl after falling into an altered sea.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

After strange bubbles disrupt gravity, Tokyo becomes isolated from the outside world. Young parkour teams occupy the altered city and turn its buildings into competitive routes. Hibiki, an ace known for dangerous choices, falls into the gravity-bending sea and is saved by Uta. The pair hear a sound no one else can hear, adding a private mystery to the public infrastructure problem.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Bubbles rain on Tokyo and break gravity, leaving the city cut off. Young parkour crews turn its altered buildings into competitive courses. Hibiki takes a dangerous route and falls into the gravity-bending sea, where Uta saves him. The sound only they can hear links their meeting to the city’s mystery without explaining what that connection will mean.

Gigguku

Bubble looks at a Tokyo where gravity no longer behaves and turns the whole city into a parkour course. That setup is immediate FUN. Hibiki’s dangerous style sends him into the altered sea, Uta saves him, and the pair hear a sound nobody else can.

Father's Basement

The boy-meets-mysterious-girl setup withholds most of its explanation, so atmosphere has to do early work. The physical premise is much clearer. Bubbles have broken gravity across an isolated Tokyo, and young parkour teams use the altered city as a competitive playground. Hibiki’s fall and Uta’s rescue connect the romance to that environment without requiring the central revelation to be exposed in advance.

In a Tokyo where gravity has broken, a boy and a girl are drawn to each other... The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world.
