There are two perspectives

First of all, a big thanks to the creators of this film.

At the start, we are shown the disclaimer that whether Meebo (the main character) is a boy or a girl doesn't matter.

And this sets apart the film into two perspectives: one where you will enjoy considering Meebo as a girl and the other where Meebo is a boy.

But the brightest part is the message.

"No matter what you do with your life, if you have a slight interest and do what you love, you will become better at it day by day."

Now that every cinema has its own representation for movies, Japanese cinema also has its own strong representations, emotions, and too-real-to-be true feelings. "The Fish Tale" exactly follows this pattern.

If you are a fan of "Non," just like me, then it's a plus reason for you to watch this movie; otherwise, if you want to see something inspirational or motivational, then do check out this movie.
