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.

My heart is still skipping beats after watching Tamako Love Story! I had a marathon viewing session (don't judge me, I needed a break from adulting) and I'm so glad I did. I went in expecting a lighthearted, fluffy rom-com, but what I got was so much more. Tamako's journey from clueless cutie to selfless sweetheart had me rooting for her from start to finish.

I loved how the movie balanced humor and heartache - I found myself laughing out loud one minute and wiping away tears the next. The animation was gorgeous, the characters were lovable and relatable, and the music... oh man, the music ...

Oh, this is a really cute anime.
When I saw the trailers, edits and images I really thought that Tamako would be the cute introverted girl and Mochizo would be the popular boy who plays basketball, but I thought it was cool to see that it was very different from my expectation. And I have to say that I found Mochizo very sweet.
And about the story itself, I must say that, taking away the stereotypes of the characters I had created in my head, the story doesn't go far from the standard I thought it would be, it's a very cute anime, but, I think ...

So, I usually don't write reviews (this is my 1st actually) but I can't stand seeing all this 8-10 scores which lead this movie into such high score (8), leading me to waste time on it. I literally didn't have any expectations on this cause I only wanted to watch a nice movie like 'Hotarubi no Mori he' cause I felt like trying something new but good. I also didn't watch its precuel 'Tamako Market'. Taking my context into account, I'll start this review.

The movie itself bored me to death ...
