    So beautiful

    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.

    haiku smiles

    I found this really adorable with cute characters that I really wanted to get together, and it had me crying at the end because of how adorable and sudden it was.

    I loved the uses of haiku's to express how they are feeling or what they know, and all of this is put together in pretty and colorful animation that makes it a good enviroment for the characters.

    Also the music sounds nice and fits the pretty animated scenes through out the movie.

    it was a fun movie, but I would forget about it after a month or so.

    You have to give were the credit should be given, this movie was gorgeous looking, absolutely phenomenal artstyle, every single frame of this movie could be a wallpaper for you're computer. Next positive is our main characters yeah both are pretty generic at start but I don't know how to describe it but it was just cute for a two polar opposites to fall in love. But as usual with these kind of seasonal anime film its lacking impact in terms of both story and characters, I watched the movie about 6hrs ago and I only remember the name of cherry and smile, and the story forgettable but very wholesome. Best positive of this anime is that you can recommend this to anybody and they will all love.

    Only trust your own taste

    Come on, only less than 2000 people rated this, if for some reason you loved it and think it deserves more you are not wrong.

    The movie is very Japanese, in the west teenage love is more intense and kids are already doing more than this in their 13s. But understanding how Japanese people are and how they see life and memories as key to their personal growth is esencial for this kind of movies.

    The movie is very cute and it is just a little summer story, it won't change your life or it might, it depends on how you see it.

    A colorful movie

    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.
