I'm not even gonna lie, this is got to be on of the best anime we got this season. This is coming from a guy who has watched Peach Boy Riverside and many other "great" anime this season, and I have literally slept through them. This anime.....was actually able to entertain me to a certain extent. Of course it's nowhere near the best anime I have seen and lacks in many ways. But I can say for sure that I deeply enjoyed this anime and I won't give it an unfair rating.

For Story and Plot, I'll give it a 7/10 Rating
For Character, I'll give it a 8/10 Rating
For Music, I'll give it a 7.5/10 Rating
For Enjoyment, I'll give it a 8/10 Rating
For Ending, I'll give it a 8.5/10 Rating

As you could see, it had many string points such as the awesome ending to the great character designs. It easily makes it's way into my list as one of the many enjoyable anime of all time. In the plot of the story, you could see how well built the author created it to be when the disk broke in smile's hand. Smile just wanted to make it better so it could play better, but it accidently broke. Everything was going downhill until they found another identical disk in the senior retirement home (I think that's what it is called). Even if the disk was found and the festival was going smoothly, I would have never expected Cherry to go back to the festival, which got me a bit excited. There were a lot of great moments in the plot, but not that much to get excited over, so I gave it a 8/10.

Let's talk about the ending here. What can I say about the ending except that it was totally awesome! Like many anime that I have seen before, I thought that the ending would have been Cherry going back to the festival and joining with Smile and the others and watching the fireworks together. But.....it was not, the ending actually was more romantic than that. Coming from a guy who likes to watch romance, I could way that the ending was pretty well built. The author gave Cherry and Smile some alone time together in the end.....kinda. Cherry confessed his feelings for Smile over the microphone while everyone could hear (Which I found really romantic). I'm not sure if they would understand since they were watching fireworks. Smile removed her mask and gave a nice and big......Smile? while blushing, which implies that she "might" have the same feeling for Cherry. Well....she does have the same feelings cuz she asked him out earlier in the movie. So based of this amazing ending....I would give this movie a 8.5/10. One way they could have improved it was by showing us more about the relationship between Cherry and Smile overtime.

And oh boy.....the character designs and development. Were they good or were they good? I mean....as the movie kept progressing, we could see the strong development of both characters Cherry and Smile as they kept getting closer together while slowly overcoming their problems or fears. It starts out in the beginning where Smile has braces and is afraid to show other people her teeth while Cherry is afraid of loud noises and is always shy and nervous. After they bump into each other....it begins. Smile slowly helps Cherry overcome his shyness as she socializes with him while Cherry begins to accept Smile showing Smile what he doesn't care about other smaller things such as her braces. The 2 of them slowly grow closer together while helping many people and even overcoming the disk challenge. In the end, Smile asks Cherry out and.....things don't go well from there. But somehow, Cherry ends up going to the festival and confessing to Smile, who then becomes really happy....and THE END.

Overall...this movie was almost very realistic and showed the light at things in a very realistic way which I liked. The Enjoyment I felt from this was indescribable as I have not felt it in such a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, time.

Overall...while being careful not to rate it toooooo high.....I'll give it a 7.5/10
