About This Movie

Today We Start Our Love is a quiet exploration of adolescence, where Hibino Tsubaki navigates her feelings in a world that feels both vast and intimate. The animation style is soft, blending watercolor aesthetics with subtle character movements that draw you into her emotional landscape. It captures the awkwardness of first love and the challenges of self-identity. Tsubaki's character, a mix of shyness and hidden talent, is portrayed with a tenderness that resonates. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the nuanced moments of friendship and longing. There's a certain nostalgia in how it presents the trials of youth, evoking both warmth and melancholy, making it distinctly relatable and poignant.
