Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop

I enjoyed the film-- "Words Bubble Up Like Soda"-- It is very cute.

Slice of life cartoon-- Cherry and Smile are awesome-- Their friendship is great.

Cherry does Haikus-- Smile is an internet star-- They become good friends.

Cherry covers ears-- Smile covers her "ugly" teeth-- Together they fit.

Animation's nice-- very colorful and bright-- expressive for sure.

But not much happens-- People make some poor choices-- Cliched finale.

There's pacing problems-- Where's the hook, an hour in?-- Just do something.

Characters evolve-- Seeing change is always good-- Stories worth telling.

Give it a look-see-- You like mellow animes?-- This one's worth your time.

Music records and haikus.

A new anime movie on Netflix. Even though it was less than an hour and a half, I enjoyed this anime a lot.

The animation was visually striking and popping. I adored the style because almost every scene was full of vibrant color. There was never a full moment. The characters looked very cute too.

The premise of the story was pretty unique. The first half gave me such a cool vibe. I felt like cruising along with the characters and the dynamic city. In the second half was where the serious stuff happened. It was a cute story where the main characters tried to find an old record. At first, I wasn't sure how the haiku would tie to the main story, but towards the end, the play of words was clever and connect everything together well.

This leads to the two main characters. They both had their own insecurities and ways to hide them. However, I loved that they were tied together through haiku, and that the play of words and beautiful poetry helped both characters grow and face their insecurities.

My only problem was that the ending felt fairly rushed. There were two big moments, and the first one didn't have enough screen times to linger with me. The second big moment was beautiful and satisfying though. However, the emotion in the second kinda overshadowed the first moment. The movie should be a bit longer to make both moments, especially the first, more impactful.

Overall, a beautifully animated movie with a simple yet clever story and premise. For sure check out on Netflix. 9/10.

A very colorful movie. Its a story about how two people with social anxiety and insecurity met each other and became afterwards, then fell in love. Great voice casts and the animation was so freaking good. Highly recommended.

I think its a pretty normal movie, nothing special that captured my attetion except for some cute scenes and dialogues at the end BUUUUUUUT the color in the movie is really stunning and i will see it 30 times again just to enjoy the color!

Shout out for this movie colorist!

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop is an unusual movie title, but it will make sense when you watch it, and you will feel warm inside with its beautiful meaning.

The animation is colorful and vibrant, it will for sure put you in a summer mood and take you back to those summers that never seemed to end, and that you didn't want to end.

You'll be smiling through the entirety of the movie, as it takes a touching unexpected turn in the second act that will grab your feelings and not let go.

The character's insecurities are pretty much part of their personality and are properly handled throughout the course of the movie, through subtle and not-so-subtle changes that show growth, acceptance, and confidence, more evident in the male protagonist, Cherry.

I would've liked to see a bit more development with the female counterpart Smile, but she was endearing and relatable nonetheless.

Overall, I really enjoyed watching this, a definite high note in this 2021 summer season.
