This movie was a good followup to Tamako Market. The animation was amazing, the music was amazing. The emotions of teenage romance were beautifully portrayed by Naoko Yamada.

Change can be scary
angepavl8 March 2022
Change can be something very scary sometimes. It can shake you to your very core and leave you wandering. Everyone worries about their future, especially when they don't know how to move on in life or they feel a bit lost.
This anime manages to capture all those feelings while also introducing us to a teen romance which grows to life since childhood. Teenage love can be akward sometimes as you learn how to express your feelings in words and interactions.
Life goes by pretty fast and the meaning of it is captured into the fragility of our existence! Live with no regrets!

Tamako: Anime Series < Movie
ham-ma24230 November 2022
Movie:
Wayyyy better than the series. Basically the opposite: slower pacing, main plot is in the foreground, almost no filler material. Also the animation is also way better.
This anime series has more drama and is not so up-beat and hyped. It has a lot of procrastination that goes on for like the whole movie and is dragged out. Feels like it should have been anime episodes rather than a whole movie (production value), it doesn't feel like an actual movie, more like a special but with a sign "must watch if you watched the series".
The atmosphere is pretty light, no heavy drama except for the lingering thrilling wait til it happens... This movie also concludes the whole anime in an obvious way (also closes the love triangle arc). So all ends are tied up. I mean the next season could go all deeper into character development and so on, but meh for what this anime is, it does a fair job.
Me: I just finished the series before watching this and I'm actually glad I dipped into the prequel, because they are connected in a big way but not with the main stories. I liked how it concludes itself, even though there is literally no material to go on about and it is a 5/10 anime or a 10/10 for what it is.
But I'd say it's a waste of resources because it doesn't have anything new or interesting. It's a good "I don't have anything to watch" fill the void type of thing and helps with the up-beat light setting/emotions. Though the potential in this one is ofc deep if the makers of it wanted to make something out of it.

Better than Market.

If you have watched Tamako Market, you may notice that most characters may have their own episode, er, except for Mochizou. But with Tamako Love Story, know you can understand more about Mochizou x Tamako's childhoods, how each other grew on them! A must - watch movie!
Tamako Market as a show is a bit of an aimless and fun series...
VolganHamishan12 January 2022
That forgets it has an overarching plot until the final episode where it crams it all in thus making it an inessential viewing experience to enjoy the Tamako Love Story movie.
While the show is still enjoyable, the movie really shines both as a finale to the show and as a standalone film because it tells the tale of two teens nearing the end of their high school days and having to figure out what they want to do with their lives. Everyone has their own goals and dreams for what they want to do in the future, but feelings often can get in the way of it, and learning how to deal with said feelings is an important part of life that everyone has to learn. Some act on those feelings and try to initiate change, while others are willing to keep things the same and stable. In Tamako Love Story, Mochizou makes the first move and it throws Tamako's life balance all out of whack and she must learn how to deal with it.
It's a really cute movie that is beautifully animated like most of Kyo-Ani's works. I particularly love how detailed the hair strands are on Tamko's closest friends Midori and Kanna, Midori has an incredible character design and is super pretty to look at. But Kanna steals the show in every scene she is in and brings a lot of laughs in this fun and really likable film. Naoko Yamada knows how to make stories that just feel so human and she's a wonderful director.

See how romance flourishes between two friends of infancy, is incredible.
Frank_Strk1 April 2019
It's inevitable that a boy falls deeply in love with his best friend, especially if you know her since you learned to say your first words, a very frustrating love, because you don't know if it will be returned, by that person who thinks of you as a friend.
This is what "Tamako Love Story" brings, during the anime we could see how the relationship between Mochizou and Tamako was, now it will be up to Mochi to confess his feelings, to that friend who has accompanied him since childhood, during the course of the film we will see how Tamako is discovering little by little her true feelings towards him.
An incredible work by Japanese animation, which shows the flowering of an innocent love between two childhood friends.
A Heartwarming Journey into Adolescence, Romance, and the Melodies of Young Love!

It can be challenging to define, but feeling disappointed after seeing a fantastic play or movie can be a frequent and genuine sensation. It's hard to identify the precise cause because it's a jumble of emotions that have combined to suffocate the mind. While some could be satisfied with the conclusion and eager to read the next one, others might have mixed emotions and have a lot on their minds. Although the exact reason of this feeling is difficult to determine, it is a common and true emotion.
It's hard to let go of preconceived assumptions and self-serving aspirations because of the movie's charming characters and captivating plot. The characters' future is full of growth and wonder at their new environment as they discover how to deal with challenges as a team. The intention of the film is to make an impact and alter the audience's perspective. The author counters that although some may think the conclusion is superb, it does not completely resolve all aspects of the past and present. The overall intention of the film is to have an impact on the audience.
The reason it, ironically, doesn't end is because it has such a fantastic ending.
Selfishly, it closes with a resounding "thud" that is both cinematic and irrefutable. While pretending to convey that everything is OK, it subtly introduces misleading sentiments of optimism and expectation. With a smile, it gracefully and dramatically closes the doors on that well-loved tale, leaving the audience to fill in the rest of the characters' lives. When the performance is over, the lights are lowered, the curtains close, and the actors and actresses bow to the audience-are the watchers to be left in the dark and happy? Furthermore, in an ironic and surprisingly harsh turn of events, it could have been "better" to leave the story's resolution open-ended.

One of the most beautifully crafted Animation dimension movie worth witnessing
vpashish23 January 2023
One could argue the limitations in creating a cartoon or Anime movie successfully. But few exceptions always pop up and make their way, like this one. Storyline, direction, music, animation, cinematography, dialogues all contribute there unique share into creating this soul touching movie. Creatively crafted entertainer, worth your time for sure. Even though it may fall under one time watch category don't underestimate it's potential. The quality and amount of emotions that are woven into the movie with a time frame of less than 90 minutes are exceptionally brilliant. Visually appealing and entertaining.
Didn't feel anything from it
Irishchatter19 October 2018
I didn't feel this was the best romantic anime I've ever seen, I know that its part of the Tamako Market series but I just don't personally think a back up from a series a year later works on an anime sometimes. Just my personal take away, it's pretty much a thing youd rather forget you wasted your time on!
