Synopsis

Jun Naruse is a chatterbox whose life is colored by fairy tales and happy endings. However, influenced by her deep belief in those tales, she is too naive and trusting, and her words soon shatter her family's bond when she inadvertently reveals her father's affair. Naruse is scarred for life after being blamed for her parent's divorce, and her regrets soon manifest into a fairy egg—a being who seals her mouth from speaking in order to protect everyone's happy ending. Now, even in high school, Naruse's speech remains locked by the fairy egg. Even trying to speak causes her stomach to twist. Though unable to convey her thoughts through words, she is unexpectedly chosen to perform in a musical alongside three other students: Takumi Sakagami, Natsuki Nitou, and Daiki Tasaki. Naruse makes her way to the club room to reject the daunting task, but changes her mind when she overhears Sakagami's beautiful singing. Perhaps the fairy egg "curse" does not apply to singing, and perhaps Sakagami is the fairy tale prince she has been seeking all along. Will Naruse be able to convey the anthem of her heart?

I really loved this movie and the approach it took with its story. Watching the main character overcome her childhood trauma and work through the emotional conflicts she faced had a huge impact on me, making this movie feel very personal and memorable. I also loved the cast of characters. None of them are perfect, and that's what makes them feel so realistic. Their flaws, struggles, and growth throughout the story made their character development incredibly satisfying to watch. More than anything, though, my favorite aspect of the movie was the soundtrack. The music was absolutely fantastic, and I especially loved what they did with the musical performance. The ending credits song was so good that I already know it's going straight into my playlist.

For a lighthearted anime movie, it has one of the most mature love story. I don't mean just romantic love, but also platonic love as well. How the weight of the feeling between friends, despite differences and argument, can still be overcome if you're willing to talk. Which is why it's so apt to have this movie main theme be 'communication'. The side love story was sacrificed of its depth because there's little screen time to show case it, but otherwise this is a movie well spent to watch.
