ANIPLEX.EXE describes the main overview of ATRI: My favorite moments as:

In the near future, a sudden and unexplained rise in sea levels has left large parts of human civilization underwater.

Ikaruga Natsuki, a boy who lost his mother and his leg in an accident several years ago, returns disillusioned from a hard life in the big city to find his old country house half swallowed by the sea. With no family, all he has left is the ship and submarine left to him by his grandmother, an oceanographer, and her debts.

His only hope of restoring his lost dreams of the future is to seize a chance offered to him by the suspicious debt collector Catherine. Together they set sail to search the sunken ruins of his grandmother’s laboratory and find a treasure that she is rumored to have left there.

But what they find is neither riches nor jewels; it is a strange girl lying asleep in a coffin on the seabed.
