Best new anime on Netflix: No. 5 Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop
For those not in the mood to dedicate themselves to a whole series, Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop is a great new anime film directed by Kyōhei Ishiguro. This romance story has a similar painted style to The Great Pretender and is as much a source of eye-candy as it is a great story.
Released on Netflix last month in July, Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop follows the summer break of two individuals with communication issues–a shy boy with a heart and talent for haiku poems and an internet sensation embarrassed by her braces. When these two kids literally bump into each other in a chance meeting at the mall, a friendship turns to something more as they begin to take comfort in their shared insecurities.
