Ok, so I just finished watching the entire series in a few hours. I have to say that I have never seen an anime or movie that has touched me in such a good way. Many aspects of the show really parallels things that happened in my life, so I was able to relate to this show. There are a lot of good life lessons this show gives us that we can take away and apply to our own lives. Love is not easy and there will always be obstacles in challenges in the way to try to "sabotage" what you have. Also, Friends are important and they show their importance in this anime, especially to, Kotaro, the main male character by being sort of like his guardian Angels...
Furthermore, this anime is very smart on how they portray things. The silence of the characters are done on purpose and the "sound effects" are used to let us know how they are feeling. The BGM and all vocal songs sang by Nao T. are also very well executed. She covered many old JPOP classics and made them her own and sang them all better then the originals. The drawings can be at times extremely simple and sometimes very scenic, both ways works. Most of the scenes they drew in the anime are in fact taken from 100% actual places in Japan that I want to visit one day.
Fortunately, or unfortunately..., this will be a tough one to top or even beat, if ever. If there was ever anime romance anime or even movie, I would probably compare them with this anime. They would either be better or not good enough compared to Tsuki ga Kirei. Definitely my top 3 favorite anime of all time and I'll be watching it over and over again because I enjoyed it that much!

This anime did a very good job portraying the growth of a couple, how they met, how they got together, and how they became more familiar with each other. Although both characters are shy, they can be brave facing obstacles in front of their path, which is admirable. It's also not like your average first love anime where the two protagonists just keep hinting at each other and NEVER make a move. It's less idealized, more realistic, and more enjoyable to watch.
You have to wait till the last episode to let the magic happen so be patience while watching this series 💓
A very cute, sweet, and innocent romance anime about two middle school students who fall in love and develop their character along the way. The show is overall very enjoyable to watch and has many heartwarming and adorable scenes throughout. It's interesting to see the two main characters discovering romance for the first time, and eventually maturing and learning from their experiences at middle school. That being said, there are only some very minor issues setting the anime back, such as some cringey and awkward moments, but overall the positives far outweigh the negatives. If you're a fan of romance, go watch this right now, you won't be disappointed.
PROS: + Outrageously adorable and cute romance + Viewers can relate to the realism of the characters and situations + Great musical score + Satisfying ending with proper closure
CONS: - Some bad CGI animations - Some cringey and awkward scenes between the two MCs, but this eventually goes away halfway through the show - The anime is a bit too serious in my opinion and could use more humor/comic relief

My heart felt so heavy after finishing this incredible romantic story; made me think of what it would've been like for me to experience love at that young of an age.
Along with a heartwarming storyline, vivid & colorful animation, and meaningful, irreplaceable characters, I would say that this slice-of-life is too good to watch again as I wouldn't know if I could hold my emotions back!!
I highly recommend this to anyone young enough who doesn't understand the meaning of a meaningful, heartwarming, & romantic relationship and hope that they find something similar as they progress in life!! I wish I could, but I guess not everyone has a love story that endures for a lifetime. Someday, I hope I can discover my significant other and give to them as much love as I can. Till then, I wish everyone a great day/night and hope you find a special someone worth sharing your life with!
