The animation is genuinely quite stunning and the project does feel like it could serve as the breakout start that Kyohei Ishiguro needs.

Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop offers a simple yet heartfelt story about self-acceptance and young romance, told through a light and relatable narrative. While the animation style and background art feel somewhat static and less dynamic for a theatrical release, the film compensates with a strong, coherent storyline and charming musical choices. Despite its visual limitations, this anime remains an enjoyable and meaningful watch, especially for older teens and adults. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)
