The ambiguity towards confession once again rekindles our already too-old-heart. It reminds us the simplicity and innocence during our youthful life. While Mochizou hesitates to confess, we laugh because we recall how coward we are when facing our first love. As Tamako receives the confession, she does not know how she should do. Their anxiety successful bring us the "doki doki" feel.
Midori is a sad character in this film. Despite her feeling towards Tamako, she does not have the courage to confess to her. The same thing happens to Mochizou; he has been liking Tamako for 16 years. But the difference is Mochizou finally determined to confess to Tamako. Midori hates herself, hate herself for not having the same courage. Director has made many scenes for showing the lost of Midori inner-self. While Midori pretend to be choked by Mochi at Tamako house, she is already at the brink of collapes.
KyoAni last movie has many resemblances throughout the movie. This time, Tamako Love Story does a good job as well. The moon and the sun at the beginning resemble Mochizou and Tamako, where Midori thought Mochizou will only revolve around Tamako throughout his life. The paper phone resembles the kizuna between Tamako and Mochizou, where they both share the same idea to use it as confession tool. While Shiroi reveals the real feeling of Tamako, the interrupting of bell ring resembles the collapse of Midori feel. Kane says about magnet of same pole could not attract to each other, signify the relationship between Midori and Tamako could not have good ending. The dandelion flying seed resemblances the new start....
Overall, it is a really, really nice movie as mentioned. The development of character emotion is describe well. The theme of love and future is one of the best among the same genre anime. The details go very natural that audience will feel comfortable with it. The graphic is good and the song is well coordinated. Most importantly, Tamako is so cute!
If you want to re-feel Tamako Market, you will like this. If you like K-On!, Tamako Love Story shares the same director. If you like shojo anime, this is perfect to you. If you do not know anything, this is not the reason hindering you from watching it.
