Cider no You ni Kotoba ga Wakiagaru (Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop)

Yui "Cherry" Sakura expresses himself better through the haiku he writes and posts on the internet, even though no one gives it attention. While preparing for him and his family to relocate in August, he spends the summer working part-time at a welfare facility. Meanwhile, Yuki "Smile" Hoshino is a budding influencer who wants everyone to smile. However, she feels uneasy about the braces on her protruding front teeth and conceals her own smile using a disposable mask.

After an accidental encounter with Cherry, Smile finds herself becoming a part-time worker at the same facility as him. Soon, the two assist a senile man, Fujiyama, in searching an old vinyl record he owns. Unable to remember its last location, he wishes to listen to it once more before his memories fade for good. Cherry and Smile only have the record's sleeve and the word "yamazakura" as clues, and their hunt in the hazy summer heat begins.

A very wholesome movie about a very shy introverted boy and a not so why outtroverted girl with low self esteem.. He expresses himself through poems and haiku, and she is a streamer Who is a little bit more straight forward yet not so satified of how whe looks..her streamer name is smily, which is a little ironic yet iconic in this movie. They crashes into each other and switches Phone by accident, and the story begins.

Its a intereting movie i actually would recommand IT. Its not too romantic yet not too dramatic, but its still lovely.

Now go and watch IT before ...

Title: Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop - A Visually Stunning Yet Underwhelming Teenage Tale

Rating: 6/10

Introduction:

"Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" is an aesthetically charming coming-of-age anime that marries vibrant visuals with themes of self-expression and connection. While its unique animation style and heartfelt moments manage to captivate, the overall execution falls short of delivering a truly memorable experience. As an anime enthusiast, I provide a review of "Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop," exploring its strengths and highlighting the aspects that hinder it from reaching its full potential.

Stunning Visual Aesthetic:

One of the immediate standouts of "Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" is its visually ... captivating animation style. The use of vibrant colors, fluid character movements, and imaginative designs create an enchanting world that draws viewers in. The combination of traditional 2D animation with modern digital effects lends a unique and eye-catching quality to the film. The attention to detail in bringing the characters and urban landscapes to life adds depth and charm to the overall visual experience.

Themes of Self-Discovery and Connection:

The anime delves into the lives of two socially awkward teenagers, Cherry and Smile, who struggle with self-expression and connecting with others. The central theme of finding one's voice and forming genuine connections is woven into the narrative. As Cherry and Smile embark on their individual journeys of self-discovery, viewers are reminded of the importance of embracing one's quirks and reaching out to others. The subtle exploration of the impact of technology on communication further adds a contemporary layer to the story.

Heartfelt Moments:

"Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" manages to create heartfelt moments that resonate with the audience. The growing friendship between Cherry and Smile is endearing, as they navigate their challenges together and encourage each other's personal growth. The exchanges of written notes as a form of communication offer a nostalgic and innocent charm that adds depth to their interactions. These genuine moments of connection contribute to the emotional core of the anime.

Lack of Narrative Depth:

While the film succeeds in its visual and emotional aspects, it struggles with a lack of narrative depth. The plot, while touching on important themes, feels somewhat underdeveloped, leaving certain character arcs and relationships feeling unexplored. The pacing can be uneven at times, with certain scenes feeling rushed while others linger without substantial progression. As a result, the storytelling fails to fully engage the audience and offer a more profound exploration of its themes.

Predictability and Stereotypes:

"Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" occasionally relies on predictable character tropes and stereotypes, which may detract from the overall impact of the story. Some character motivations and conflicts are resolved in a manner that feels convenient rather than authentic, potentially limiting the emotional resonance of certain scenes.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, "Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" is an anime that dazzles with its stunning visual aesthetic and touches the heart with its themes of self-expression and connection. While it falls short in terms of narrative depth and occasionally resorts to predictability, its unique animation style and heartfelt moments still offer a pleasant viewing experience. For these reasons, I rate "Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop" a 6/10. If you're seeking a visually captivating and emotionally resonant slice-of-life story, this film might provide a charming escape. However, those looking for a more intricate and profound exploration of its themes might find themselves wanting more from the overall execution.

do NOT watch this unless you want to know a movie you can make fun of

i cannot explain how much i want back the time i've wasted watching this movie. it tries to be a rom-com ( but fails obviously )
the so called "romance" is forced, doesn't feel natural at all. the "cool" girl has absolutely no history with the nerdy boy, but after the bump into each other now she is falling for him, for some reason. that's it, no build up, nothing at all. it simply happened. why? the movie doesn't care to explain.
the comedy is really just bad jokes that are just ...
