“I've Always Liked You” is what happens when… honestly? I have no idea. Maybe it’s what happens when You have a metal rod stuck in Your frontopolar cortex and yet someone forces You at gunpoint to write a script.
It’s hard for me to even call this a movie. It’s just a series of scenes stitched together in a chaotic way. There is an overarching motif (confessions) but its execution is so bland You’ll forget about it in an instant.
Let’s get this out of the way. This is one of those cases where the story is plot driven and not character driven. The focus isn’t the relationship between characters but just the act of confessing their love. Everything happens not because it makes sense, not because the characters made the best possible decision in their eyes. Everything happens because the pl…

The animation of the film is very good, the songs are the best of the film the lyrics, please listen and analyze the lyrics of the songs. The movie is very good, so I do not close the story of two characters. But giving that very good has a phrase "The only love that lasts is unrequited love." I got very very in the chest just for that phrase it was worth seeing an hour of a good drama.
I really liked how the film deals with the different protagonists and situations that are generated with them. Also keep in mind that the movie lasts 1 hour and 20 minutes if I am not wrong or it is quite short. In such a short time you get to give closure to almost all characters and their love situations. All very Japanese but hey is an anime that you expected?

This is my first review,will try my best not to include any spoilers. Pardon me if there are many mistakes on my part from the viewer's POV.
Story: 8/10
The story won't feel very original or unique to people who have already watched a lot of romance animes. But for people like me who love cute regular school love stories to pass their free time will definitely like this. For fans of Ao Haru Ride, Tsurezure Children or Horimiya this one is definitely recommended.
The story consists of regular high school students each with their own love interests. The story proceeds with each of them struggling on confessing their love. There's nothing very special to it,as I said before... peaceful, innocent high school romance.
Art: 8.5/10
I personally really liked the artwork. It's definitely better…

I didn't really expect much going into this movie, as just from the summary it seemed pretty unoriginal. Plus, the short run-time wasn't doing it any favors considering the multiple points of view it was trying to convey in a short period of time.
Story: 5
The unoriginal and uninspired plot makes for a bit of a boring watch. The scenes from multiple different perspectives are lumped together awkwardly to the point where you have trouble discerning almost anything other than what is currently happening between the characters in the scene. The ending could be better and the cliffhanger isn't even a good cliffhanger. It didn't leave interested in watching any more.
Art: 8
-Nice art that pops in the right moments.
Sound: 7
-Some nice music inserted throughout the movie. Most of them we…

Ohh I hate how the relationship i could most relate too was fucking ruined. A great unrequited crush, was ruined bc of a single speech. They barley talked and they are about to confess? Satou is a great character with Akari. Then we get to the main lover's. I really like the ending where she confesses and has to tell him it's not practice. The flashbacks really show u that they really are great fwends:3 the other relationships are meh except the white hair dude hes super cool especially him and Satou felt like a waste of potential forgetting about the white haired dude after the date. Also animation around the concert was horrible

to explain this better this is basically a story about people in love with each other. it's not only one girl but maybe like 3 and then like 5 guys I guess. it's a cute story, the confessions were a bit too far in the end so we couldn't really tell what happened after them.
since the confessions were at the end, by the 40-minute mark my heart was pounding so hard ( Doki Doki). I felt as if a heart attack was coming. it was such an anxious unexpected confession being honest. it's still kinda meh the 3 or maybe 4 of the people also involved with a crush didn't get a confession part kinda so we were left without knowing what would happen to most of them.
would recommend it for people who love a wholesome romance

I enjoyed it. I don't have much to say on this one, it didn't have much depth but it was an enjoyable experience that I think alot of people would really love to see more of.
I think there was a little too much music however, I understand the music cutting in at certain moments but not every moment is that special.
I liked the character designs, they were all very generic and relatable but still had enough distinct characteristics that you could always tell the difference between each of them.
The story was very simple, easy to follow and fun to watch. Not as engaging as it could've been but still good.
I think this movie has the potential to be so much more if they had added a little more depth and underlying morals. Especially to the characters personalities.
Thankyou for reading m…

Well, i got say i felt in love with these characters in the first moment. I really wanted this story more developmented, but even, was a good love story. But you know, the characters are really nice ^^
I liked the traits and animation, they look so cute. But i didn't understand why the prota has a pants under the skirts lol. The pants are terrible looool
I love how Hiroshi Kamiya-san seiyuu and Yuki Kaji-san seiyuu dubbled their characters. They are amazing and let the characters much more nice *-*
Someting what i didn't liked too much was how the second couples ended. Was too simples, i wanted more of them. But it's ok.

It was very predictable and boring at times. I had previously watched the movie, but because it's so forgettable, I forgot that I had watched it and re-watched it. The characters were very surface level, with no true depth to them. It was mentioned that the two main characters were childhood friends, but there were no solid scenes that showcase the history of their relationship. Only still images of scenes from their younger days were shown.
The movie had so much potential to explore and dive deeper into the characters' personalities and backstories, but failed to do so.
This movie was decent enough, but very mediocre at best.

To avoid spilling some spoilers, I'll make this review as simple as possible...
If you're looking for an anime with interesting and unique plot with lots of unexpected development, then I would not recommend this to you. This is a normal romance school anime. A one-hour-length film with an overwhelming number of characters. A flat story where I haven't felt intensity or something unique that will instantly hook me into the show. In other words, if you're planning to watch this movie, then lower your expectations and just enjoy the whole thing. Also, the effort given for this show is not a waste at all since it still has its good aspects.
There are two possible goals in this movie that I could think of. First, It tries to make us relate from our past romance back in our youthful days, whi…

An okay movie, its worth a little to fill your blank heart or even waste your time. The story feel classical to me with the concept: the young lover and their complex love story. Trying to get the confession story get a long run, making all clear route get complicated even if their flag really understand to seen. This show even try to make the main thing get a long run while the white hair guy trying to steal. But, thats just only a plot device to make the story feel interesting. For me, its impact a little, only a little feels got some kind of burst out of laugh.
Yet, i kinda worry with this kind of show. Because i just feel bored with the theme. However, after scanning and understanding what is going on, my simple mind got a nice review for these movie. Although its music attachment not…

I gotta admit, I'm a sucker for a good romance. I like it in basically every shape or form: I like it with a sad ending, a happy ending, with comedic ambiance, with serious atmosphere and one of my favourite types is the cute, heart-warming one.
But this one?
This one I hated.
I can't even describe how excruciating it was to watch. The plot was completely decentralized, unnecerarily jumping from one character to another. I guess the writers wanted to include as many stories from the music videos as possible but because of the limited time they had for this movie, it ended up being about everything and nothing at the same time.
The formula that worked in case of the music videos, where we knew close to nothing about characters but still rooted for them, certainly shouldn't have been a…

Firstly this is coming from a giant honeyworks fan (and its my first review) but because of that I am mainly criticizing this film for what it could of been and how it doesn't do the original music videos justice.
The main problem with this film and the other adaptations is that it doesn't include all the information you need to understand fully what is going on and many plot points are left for the viewer to guess or never learn about unless they have seen the music videos or read about it in the novels. This is most likely a limitation due to how short this movie format is and other areas suffer because of it such as mochizuki's and akarai's relationship basically being completely shafted in all 3 adaptations due to lack of time and the poor release date of the adaptations in the first…

In truth, the actual plot of the movie is very stereotypical. Most of the things that happen are very predictable and a lot of people might not enjoy a movie like this. If I didn't know the honeyworks songs prior to watching this, I'd probably have rated this very low (around a 4-5). Having played the songs from this movie on OSU tons of times, I'm very familiar with the music & what their songs are about. I recognized the stories the movie was telling immediately & it was nice seeing it being played out while remembering the lyrics to the music =P. Overall a 8/10 for me but the music was 10/10. Really good art too. Highly recommend this movie if you're a fan of honeyworks or an OSU player that's familiar with honeyworks maps! Very nice experience.

Just Because! in Movie form...
Seriously, Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai made LA think that by the end of the movie with mixed results...
Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai follows three relationships in three different perspectives, that of a love triangle, a friendship slowly blooming and love at first sight.
Let's look at the love triangle which is the main focus for Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai, the love triangle has Natsuki Enomoto voiced by Haruka Tomatsu in the center of this love triangle, with Yuu Setoguchi voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya being the childhood friend and Natsuki's confession practice partner and Koyuki Ayase voiced by Tsubasa Yonaga that forms the love triangle. -sigh- LA said this about Just Because! and t…

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.

✦Story
What can I say, a very simple, cute and sweet high school romance anime. Great sweet vanilla. It wasn't anything special nor boring, it was simply cute and sweet thing to watch, a very enjoyable premise and execution. With a bit of drama, a fair amount of silliness and a great dose of cuteness. Although, as always with dramas, it tends to still annoy me to some extent (some more than another) that the main "drama" issue that people keep having is simply their own inability to be honest and say what they feel/think.
✦Art & Sound
Good, bright and simple art with cute and sweet songs. Nothing else to say.
✦Character
Cute. The end? I'm seriously not sure what else to ad…

I ended up watching this movie because I watched the anime (Our love is always 10cm apart). First off, I love the main characters, I have been rooting for them in the anime as well. It shows a typical triangle, which isn't new, but I love these kind of story lines.
After the credits there is an extra end scene which made me want to root for the couple (You and Natsuki) more!!! The story line is basic, the art is pretty alright BUT THE EMOTIONS I FELT WERE REAL! LOL I also really liked the songs in the movie!
I really suck at reviews but thanks for reading :3

Reviewers point of view: I was having a romance marathon and thought why not add fuel to the fire. I saw both movies, but am only putting in my opinion for the first one. I did not read the novels. I don't listen to vocaloid.
Story: Put nicely, the plot is basic and rushed. I know the movie is only an hour, but I felt like it put in stories that it couldn't handle. I didn't try to remember most of the characters' names (I'm also VERY bad with names) so if I was asked to describe all the love stories, it would sound like I was spreading some middle school rumor:
"Insecure guy likes pretty feminine girl who he thought for a second liked androgynous white haired boy who likes cliche tomboy who likes her childhood friend who is friends with a loud blonde boy who likes tomboy's best friend bu…

*Disclaimer...?
First of all, now that I realize Aida Miou's side of the story is also getting animated, I'm gonna conserve all judgments for it. Yaaaaaaay!!! Miiiiiraaaiiiiiinooooowaaaaataaaaashieeee
Also I understand A-1 only helped and the real animators are Qualia Animations, but it's really likely that this new studio came from A1, which then means they contributed way more than just a subservice. So point still the same. But if the third movie is much (or at least a little) better I'll delete this right away.
Fuck you A1. I think through this one it's finally official. A1 doesn't give a jack shit about making a good anime.
When I first heard that my beloved music series was getting animated, I had nothing but doubts after the last one's...uh, unfortunate turnout. I'm of co…
