Searching for the movie name
There was an old anime movie, came out rather in the late 80's, 90's or early 2000's.
It was about highschool love.
I could call it BL, which it obviously is, but bc of the sensorship the 2 fellas never went past the "close friends" stage.
Basically, a there was love triangle with 2 boys and a girl.
Boy A liked boy B who liked girl C, but C was very toxic and manipulative towards B.
Then, gradually, through the movie, B starts to develop feelings towards A, and C starts finally acknowledging B's feelings, and even starts to have true feelings towards him (naturally, she finally stops being toxic).
I remember a very romantic scene between A and B on a small bridge in front of a lake, were they were 2 steps away from confessing to each other, but since it was an old anime movie, it had huge sensorship restrictions, so nothing came out of it.
At the end of the movie, B and C got together.
There was also a very beautiful and cool review/analysis of the movie on YouTube, that got me acquainted with this movie in the first place.
Basically, if you can find the title, I'd be very grateful ❤️

Title: Ocean Waves
Japanese: Umi ga Kikoeru
Thank you kindlyyyy 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
One quick memory check (no pressure 😄)
Do you remember:
the story being told mostly in flashbacks, or
the overall tone being very quiet, melancholic, and realistic compared to most anime romances?
If yes → I’m extremely confident this is Ocean Waves.
Either way, your description was beautiful—and honestly, you clocked the emotional truth of that movie perfectly ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
Ocean Waves (Umi ga Kikoeru)
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUUUUCH 😭😭😭❤️
