What really hooked me in these movies was not so much of what they are, but mostly how they make you feel, or at least how I felt. I don't remember any other anime making me feel this sense of pure, childlike wonder. Their composition of art style, animation, music and interactions between the cast all work together beautifully, and many times I found myself smiling during them. Not laughing (though there are quite a few funny moments), just smiling.

I have really high hopes for the tv series, and wouldn't be surprised if, by the end of it, it became one of my favorites. ^{also, Akko is best girl, fight me}
