Synopsis

As the seasons pass by, the end of Mochizou Ooji's third and final school year quickly approaches. He aims to study at a university in Tokyo, but at the cost of leaving behind his loved ones—including his beloved childhood crush, Tamako Kitashirakawa. Having no such plans for the future, Tamako will merely remain in town to work at her family's humble mochi shop.

As the time for Mochizou's departure draws closer, the reserved young man must gather up the courage to confess his feelings to Tamako before it is too late—lest his love go unnoticed forever.

Do you ever get that choked, somehow disappointed feeling when you finish a great show or movie? A void that lingers in your mind, trying to piece together everything you just watched? Perhaps you lean back in your chair, comfortable and content at a good ending, ready to move on to the next one. Or, like me, you curl up in your bed or floor, both incredibly happy but sad at the same time, thoughts racing through the mind. For many, this feeling is a prevalent and very real emotion, but one that is strangely awkward to place a label on. We can't quite stick ...

Before you're losing your head about my overall score, I'm using 5 as a middle ground. Means, everything above 5 can be considered as 'good', Okay? Got it? Lets get to it:

Tamako Love Story, I heard it several times before it even premiered. And even read a 'translated' interview with Yamada (the director) about what could we expect in this new movie. Basically, she said that this is still about 'everybody loves somebody' as a central theme. And now, we're focusing more on Tamako and that she loves somebody.

Well..., yes it is. Except that it didn't really fulfill (my) expectation. So, before you're expecting anything ...

Well, congratz for being the most uninspired anime iv seen to date!

I have not watched the TV-series beforehand but if this is supposed to be that climatic finale to conclude the show, then wow, what torture the main show must have been. It takes this movie about 9 years to get going and then another 7 years to finish and once over, it has accomplished what should've taken about 20 minutes. This movie is more or less the epitome of what I hate about this genre; 'romances' without an actual relationship.

The art is fine but I have gotten quite tired of this overly cute anime ...
