Tobiuo no Boy wa Byouki desu

Synopsis

"Tobiuo no Boy wa Byouki desu" focuses on Operation Castle and the crew of the Daigo Fukuryuu Maru (S.S. Lucky Dragon 5). On March 1, 1954, a hydrogen bomb was detonated, producing an explosion as powerful as the one over Hiroshima. The fallout from this blast contaminated the crew with radioactive ash. The story then takes a fantastical turn as the same ash transforms marine creatures, allowing fish to speak and dress like humans. The anime primarily examines the effects of radioactive pollution on these anthropomorphized fish.
