style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s a shame that the story doesn\u2019t do much with its Tokyo. Most of the characters are orphans who lost their parents in the so-called \u201cBubble-fall phenomenon\u201d and engage in parkour matches to win supplies. But aside from some brief dialogue, the story takes little interest in truly exploring the harshness of their life or the fact that they choose to dwell in this abandoned place. Their circumstances are ultimately just an excuse to have parkour scenes in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bubble<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019s Tokyo (it\u2019s also convenient that all the orphans h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en to be suited for parkour), and the lack of attention on the abandoned city\u2019s inhabitants makes a potentially interesting setting feel more like a backdrop than a proper location.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-size: 12pt\">The sci-fi elements are also disappointing. A prominent character is in the city to observe its gravity anomalies and monologues about the cycle of death and rebirth, but neither her nor her musings feel relevant. Meanwhile, the third act brings the bubbles to the forefront of the narrative, but the events that unfold are so unclear that my attention faltered numerous times towards the end. What were the bubbles doing? I frankly haven\u2019t a clue, and the story doesn\u2019t compel me to revisit the final act to figure it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

The regular moments are rather pleasant on the eye too, thanks to the injection of colour into the setting through various props, painted surfaces, and greenery-covered structures.
