Introduction
Takafumi Yokozawa has had his heart broken. In despair, he chooses to drown his sorrows the only way he knows how—with a metric ton of booze.
After ending up blackout drunk, Takafumi wakes up naked in a hotel room. Greeted by Zen Kirishima, a coworker and editor-in-chief of the shounen manga magazine Japun, Takafumi finds himself being subjected to blackmail. As it turns out, Zen had taken some rather incriminating pictures the night before. Takafumi must follow along with the editor's every whim; he is tricked into drinking together, eating fancy meals he cannot afford, and even visiting the Kirishima household.
Slowly, with the help of Zen and his daughter, Hiyori, Takafumi finds himself forgetting all about his broken heart.

Prior to watching this movie, I've always hated Yokozawa as a character probably because he was written to always be on opposition to the main character.
In the end of season 2, though I think that the 2nd main character's treatment to him was very cold and harsh, he deserved it.
Releasing this movie is the creator's smart way of making Yokozawa's character more appealing to the audience. He had the best character arc and quite frankly got the best ending out of the 3 couples that were in the series. He was very likeable in the end.
As per the story, it had a bit of a less lighter theme concerning broken families due to death that only added to the depth of the movie. It showed us that even these types of families can be whole again.
I super love that fact that the kid never once que…

Let me just say that this is my favorite couple out of both Junjou Romantica and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. This review will likely be biased by the fact that I’ve read all of the novels. It’s likely not as interesting as a stand alone movie or even paired with the anime series compared to when it’s elaborated on in text.
The story of this movie is mediocre to decent. It’s cliche, although it’s better than you could expect, or at least I had when I first experienced it. It isn’t high stakes or with any meaningful conflict, but it is satisfying and sweet. The pacing wasn’t very well executed, but I do have to say that it isn’t hard to watch or unbearable. It gets points for not being creepy or unnerving, which is sadly almost a norm when I find myself sitting down to watch shows of this genre. Ho…

It's... another story? About Yokozawa moving on? It could easily fit into the regular anime series as another side story about a character who isn't Onodera or Takano. Definitely don't watch it until you've finished the anime because it won't make a ton of sense. The plot is very simple, so I suppose it isn't a major issue if you watch this alone, but it loses a lot of meaning if you haven't seen the anime first, or I suppose read the manga.
The art is on the same level or slightly better than the anime series, likely due to the extra budgeting and time typically given to movies over anime. The style is still the same, although the major stylistic issues from the show - front face shots where chins are oddly shaped, ridiculously large hands - are slightly de-emphasized, or in most cases a…

That was surprisingly much better than I expected. In fact I dare say it is -- by far -- the best of the entire Sekaiichi Hatsukoi oeuvre.
It still has typical BL problems, such as feeling incredibly rushed -- or maybe that was a feature of it being a 50 min movie instead of a, say 4-6 episode OVA; I haven't read the source manga -- I didn't keep exact track of how much time passed between Takano breaking it to Yokozawa that there was no chance at them ever getting together, but it felt like at most 2 weeks. Hm. I should rewatch to check out the weather, because at the end the cherries bloom; maybe more time passed than I realized. Anyway, it felt much too fast, because it takes time to let go of the old feelings, even though Yokozawa sort of always knew that there was no real hope with T…

Being a huge Sekai ichi Hatsukoi fan (it's kind of my guilty pleasure), I was very excited when a movie was announced. I remember visiting online anime websites every week just to see if the movie had came out. I finally watched the feature film in December and, well, it wasn't disapointing, but I expected much more.
The story itself is VERY previsible. You don't even have to watch the trailer of the anime to know the ending. Also, I felt the plot lacked enough conflict to actually be called a movie. It was like watching a longer episode of a slice of life anime at times because of that.
So, does that mean that "Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai" is bad? The answer is no, because despite of it's flaws there's a lot to love in this movie: first, despite my initial fear of making a villain-like char…

*Taken from my AniList Review, I am using the 0/100 scoring, instead of 0/10.
Story (70/100) The Case of Yokozawa Takafumi is by all means no masterpiece. In reality, it is far from it. It is filled with cliché moments found scattered all about in the Boys' Love genre, and Nakamura is no stranger when it comes to said cliché. (-10 points). When you look at it as a whole, if this was any regular story, it would be rated extremely low. But since this is the ever-so popular BL genre, it is safe. You start out with Yokozawa awaking in a stranger's house. Seems...okay, right? Well, YtnB stays like that throughout the whole movie.
'Okay'. Nothing too exciting happens. Man meets another by accident (in this case, they sort of knew each other), they hang out for awhile (in actuality, Yokozawa wa…
