This movie is a story of youth set in high school.
They spend high school life with human-like robots.
The hero can remind the robot of the importance of friends and important memories.
The robot always asks the hero like this.
"Are you happy now?"
In this movie, robots sing like musicals in some places.
It's like a Disney movie, but it naturally blends into the story.
There is no gorgeous production in this movie, but it gives a moving story such as people's happiness and friends.
It's not a big hit at the moment, but it's a very good movie.
Zion's voice actor is not a full-time voice actor, but I think her

It's got everything that makes anime fun and exciting to watch. Zany robots, Disney musical numbers, Shipping, big reveals, emotional reunions, princesses, evil scientists who don't understand the Power of Love, a group of plucky teens and also the main girl's Mom fighting against authority to save their friend. The art isn't the best ever, but they do some really cool big, flashy, eye-catching scenes with Shion using her powers to control all the nearby electronic devices. There are a couple of touching Power of Friendship moments that would have made me cry if I were a weaker woman. I genuinely enjoyed the cheesy musical

The way of drawing AI that goes into everyday life in Japan is very natural. Looking at the director's create history "Eve no Jikan", I understood.
A nice idea movie that lets AI (Shion) sing a musical song. There are some scenes where I'm nervous, but the end is fun. Sci-fi, juvenile, musical, the best combination of movies. Shion has become the most beloved character by combining both voice and drawing. For me and for the characters. And, as is often the case with other movies, if you understand the situation and watch it a second time, it will be able to watch the movie even ... Sep 2, 2023
Sing a Bit of Harmony was a film that got sandwiched in with Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song- and Belle in 2021 with its focus on AI and technology within a near-future setting. The name Yatsuhiro Yoshiura may ring a bell to some folks as he was the director behind the highly acclaimed 2008 ONA, Time of Eve, with its mundane focus on androids and exploring how life would seem from their perspective as they secretly have gained sentience. Sing a Bit of Harmony dabbles into somewhat similar elements of exploring a near-future setting with technology as a company is testing out a new AI-programmed robot

This review contains soft spoilers that should not impact your enjoyment of the movie.
Going in, I did not necessarily know what to expect, as I have just seen the trailer and decided to watch it on a whim, more so for the cinema experience rather than the movie. Regardless, it was a pleasant surprise. An AI robot joins a regular high school class as a scientific experiment - the goal is to not be found out. The AI gets in a little accident and is revealed to a small group of kids who decide not to ruin the experiment and keep it a secret from ... Jan 25, 2022
This is my all-time favorite animated film. Everything about it makes me happy. For context:
I turn 26 in one month. Ten years ago, I had a dream. I was going to become a biomedical engineer and cure as many cancer variants as I could. I dropped out of college and didn't even make it out the gate. It's a common occurrence to give up on your dreams and idealism as you age. I thought I could take on the world and make a major difference in people's lives. Unfortunately, life happened and beat me down. Despite that so-called real world experience, I still haven't given ... Jun 1, 2022
Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete is a beautiful and heartwarming movie that strongly reminded me of Kimi no na wa, my personal favorite movie. This movie tells a beautiful story about love, friendship and emotions while also showing us the most realistic near-future world I have ever seen in media.
Story 9/10 The story was never predictable and surprised me many times. Watching this movie was an emotional rollercoaster due to it's well written stories (and characters, which I'll talk about as well soon). The story was creative and quite unique despite starting with a relatively simple premise, the worlbuilding and portrayal of this near-future world ... Nov 13, 2022
I went in completely blind for this film - I didn't even look up a synopsis. I just knew it was a school-slice of life type movie. Now with the English dub out, I finally decided to check it out.
Story: Sing a Bit of Harmony takes place in the future, where AIs take care of mundane tasks such as driving school buses and farming the fields for crops. Satomi Amano goes to school where she doesn't exactly fit in, as she had an incident before the events of this film that put her in poor graces with some of her other classmates. ... Apr 22, 2022
Did not know what to expect before I watched the movie but damn, it was a very entertaining and enjoyable watch. Great movie overall and I absolutely love it.
In short, the movie is about an AI trying to bring happiness to the MC and her friends in a unique and bizarre way. Well, she is an AI, after all. Story: 8/10 There are two points about the story which intrigue me. First of all, the concept of the movie by adding a musical aspect into it which is very rare in an anime and worked incredibly well. If it went wrong, it could be weird ... Jan 29, 2022
Sing a Bit of Harmony's concept seems pretty run of the mill - AI gone rogue is hardly new and has been done a million times. That, combined with the expectations of a heavy fistful of typical anime tropes meant I didn't really expect much going into this - it's an original film from J.C. Staff (a fairly alright studio) and a director I haven't really heard of before.
After watching it, though, I'm really, really glad I saw it. This is one of the most delightful films I've seen in a long time and I had a big ass smile on my face watching this ... Apr 17, 2022
The moment I heard of this movie and saw that Ichirou Ookouchi was on the script I knew I would be watching. Slice of life anime is my bread and butter so I had plenty of reasons to be excited. Despite that, Code geass still remains one of my all time favorite animes, it was actually the very first anime I ever watched. This movie blew me away, everything about it was beautiful. The story kept me interested from beginning to end, the animation and artstyle was AMAZING. The music and acting were superb. The characters were all colorful and unique. I loved it all,

"Are you happy, Satomi ?"
The story set on futuristic Japan where everything worked by some AI. I really like the background for this film, even though they make it so futuristic but they keep manage the Japanese culture. They didn't make it over the top futuristic background. Since this anime has the genre "music", so everything consist of some singing from the protagonist of the film. There are some moment that the singing make it so cringe, even for me as the watcher get the second hand embarrassment. But overall the story is pretty cute. With a bit of rom-com spice in it. Animation ... Apr 19, 2022
the best anime I've watched... I'm crying because I'm happy.. sometimes I think what would happen if there were such robots in our world.. sometimes it's scary for some reason.. but sometimes I think that everything would be very good..they would were our friends..Sometimes I think that robots can bring the end of our world. I think so. Maybe there will be no people left in the world, people will perish. Robots will take over the world... Maybe I've watched too many movies..😂.. In other words, what I want to say is that we will not live our own life, but the life they want

What is this? Skynet disney princess? The setting, and story about future AI is overdone at this point. Nothing new in the story / the message, conflict & resolution also a bit cliche like fairy tale. But despite all of that this movie still fun to watch, it's strong aspect is how it deliver the movie, smaller detail of presentation.
This maybe the most western anime i've ever watch, the musical aspect feel a bit forced & awkward, but the animation & song quality made up for it. If you familiar with musical show it won't be that weird, although this integration is not the best ... Jan 26, 2022
(This is my 450th completed anime!)
Man, who would have thought that 2022 would have two anime movies based on singing coming out in the US at the same time? The only reasons I even learned about Sing a Bit of Harmony's existence were that, 1. I lurk on Anime News Network every single day, and 2. Some idiot on the forum thread for the original announcement took issue with FUNimation co-producing it, and was like "Ewww, FUNi's co-producing it?! Anime's ruined forever! The character designs are so conservative and FUNi's obviously gonna shove their Western SJW agenda/politics into it!!"...even though the movie hadn't even come ... Aug 25, 2023
Since the beginning, science fiction has warned us of terrors of technology; films like 2001 and Terminator demonstrate the violent capabilities of artificial intelligence, whereas Psycho Pass outlines a horrifying reality in which the dictation of our lives by machines has eroded our individualism. However, one interesting commonality I’ve noticed among Yasuhiro Yoshiura’s work is his dedication to rejecting these theses. For Yoshiura, small technological advancements intended to convenience us (such as friendly home AIs) are not something to be feared. Large corrupt corporations and organisations that seek to prevent the evolution of such technology are presented as irrational and reactionary. In this case, Shion—an

I never thought that an Bandai Namco film would had made me cry but it did. The amazing thought of putting a musical into a anime film would have been great. The mix between sadness and happiness all felt like an amazing type of Disney movie. The music and animation were just beautiful to watch and see. The plot twist and humor were great as-well. The characters were outstanding with a lot of development. First diving into this movie, I thought it was a regular "Gimme your money and get CRAP!" but once I really seen it, I was like WOAH. I never even seen

The movie starts and seems interesting at first with the initial worldbuilding. Fast forward to Shion in the classroom, and the moment she starts singing, and says "...are you happy yet?"...I let out a deep groan...I thought to myself, "(sigh)...well since I'm here, I'll just finish this thing and clean this out of my system later..."
And as the movie progressed.... My expectations were flipped, and I ended up incredibly satisfied. The singing and the music score really does make Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete feel like a Disney movie, and I'm not a Disney movie fan whatsoever. In fact I basically despise Disney movies and ... Jul 4, 2022
In a year with both Mamoru Hosoda's Belle and Wit Studio's Vivy - Flourite Eye's Song, a story about a singing AI robot doesn't seem like much of a novelty. But although Sing a Bit of Harmony might struggle to stand out against its high-concept peers, it's still a sweet and funny movie which definitely proves as a crowd-pleaser.
The movie's plot is split into two halves. The first half introduces Shion to a human environment and plays out like a high school romance drama, with a familiar cast of characters with different backgrounds and personalities. The film’s second half then adopts somewhat of a heist-like scenario that heightens the ... Apr 18, 2022
Ai no Utagoe wo Kikasete is a nice movie but in my opinion it fails in some aspects.
I'll tell you right away that it's worth to watch, since it's kinda enjoyable, but if you want to know pros and cons just keep reading my review. STORY: 7 The story is set in a world where AIs are used everywhere (literally). Here, we get to know the main cast, made of 5 friends and an experiment, a "human AI" that had to "mimetize" between people. But there's one problem, she is obsessed with the main girl and wants to make her happy. At first this doesn't make any sense, mainly because ... |
