This movie was stunning animation-wise, very colorful and easy on the eyes. The pacing was slow and not the most engaging. It's an okay watch if you're into slow burn romance.

Synopsis
Yui "Cherry" Sakura expresses himself better through the haiku he writes and posts on the internet, even though no one gives it attention. While preparing for him and his family to relocate in August, he spends the summer working part-time at a welfare facility. Meanwhile, Yuki "Smile" Hoshino is a budding influencer who wants everyone to smile. However, she feels uneasy about the braces on her protruding front teeth and conceals her own smile using a disposable mask. After an accidental encounter with Cherry, Smile finds herself becoming a part-time worker at the same facility as him. Soon, the two assist a senile man, Fujiyama, in searching for an old vinyl record he owns. Unable to remember its last location, he wishes to listen to it once more before his memories fade for good. Cherry and Smile only have the record's sleeve and the word "yamazakura" as clues, and their hunt in the hazy summer heat begins. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

What an adorable movie! I love how it really takes us into the summer romantic feels between Cherry and Smile. The way their bonds have been showcased had good, realistic pacing too. Apart from that, I see no problems with the animation (it's CUTE af!) and paired with a lovely soundtrack, it's a lovely experience to watch. Highly recommending this film!
Cute movie about teenagers and the relevance of social media in today's day and age. The movie also has a good message about insecurities and while the animation is great and colorful, it's a 6/10 for me. Not much plot, just a slice of life movie

This movie was beautiful animation wise, very colourful and engaging. It had a pace story wise not the best to keep one hooked. It's still an okay movie that you could watch if you have the time.

No es sólo una historia de amor juvenil. Tampoco es la búsqueda de un vinilo perdido. Es una película que tiene comedia, nostalgia, romance y, sobre todo, a dos adolescentes que aprenden a aceptarse y quererse como son.…
