I actually watched this anime film before its predecessor. So this is a review based solely on its own merit. Story: I enjoyed it, the story could drag at times and it seems that during the end credits we get more story development than throughout the entire film. They could have easily extended the run time from 60 minutes to 90 to properly flesh out the rest of the story. Animation: Gorgeous. Fluid. Colourful. The backgrounds are beautiful and detailed. Sound: This movie and the one that came before it are based on a series of Vocaloid songs "Confession Executive Committee ~Love Series~" by the musical group HoneyWorks. This movie wouldn't have been as enjoyable if it wasn't for these insert songs and the cheery soundtrack that accompanies it. Characters: Despite being a slightly cliche, the characters are grounded and relatable, and I found myself rooting for all of them. Their interactions are genuine and aren't over the top as anime tends to do. Still, the characters and the situations they find themselves in still follow a lot of tropes (ie, love triangle and the classic panty mishap). All in all, I enjoyed this film, and I recommend it to any romance or HoneyWorks fan.

The story was nothing special, generic and very forgettable. the animation was alright, not good, not bad. Nothing special really music an audio. I really only care about the music when talking about this part. All I'm gonna say is that it was easily forgettable and not very good which is upsetting because I feel that background music can make or break very scenes in anime. characters. This is the only part I have trouble with, I think the characters were mediocre at best and were the most forgettable part of the whole movie.  the movie itself was not special, felt super short and as I've mentioned several times, extremely forgettable. I don't suggest watching the movies that come after this if you aren't gonna do it right after watching this one because if you do, you're probably gonna forget everything. im sorry if this review was not up to your standards, I'm very young and have only ever typed one other review before

Overall, there isn't much to say about this as a romance movie/anime. I liked it for sure, but I can't shrug the feeling that it is incomplete, missing something; perhaps a good ending. It left off half-hearted and made me question a good bit of it. Moving onto characters, this in my eyes, was another step backward. There was barely any character development, let alone the mc, side characters, and male lead were left unknown to the viewers.  I'd like to leave this review off on probably the best aspect of this anime, it was realistic and takes a dive into how easy and fast it is to fall for someone; but how it isn't always happy times.  Watch it if you have absolutely nothing else to watch. FYI this review was written without going over the song, knowing it is based on a song.
