I would define "The Moment You Fall in Love" as a sort of follow-up to the movie "I've Always Liked You" from 2016, focusing on different characters from the narrative. This is once again a love story. However, this time it stars the siblings of the original two main protagonists, who are a year younger. Of course, characters familiar from the first movie reappear (and they will probably also get their own story in the future, as an anime series about another couple from this franchise has just started). The plot of the other anime series is also mentioned here, even though this time it is simply a love story involving a young girl named Hina, who has the classic "Please notice me senpai" Japanese problem. Plus, her annoying neighbor Kotaro is always around to tease her, even though there is not much to tease. So from the same setting, we get a new narrative which is again quite a simple albeit decent and pretty good love story. A rather well-fitting soundtrack completes it. After saying that, I enjoyed the first movie a bit more because I found the main protagonists a bit more likable. I did not connect with Hina that much in this movie and I did not particularly care for Kotaro either. While this movie is probably of roughly the same standard as the previous one, I did not enjoy it as much this time around. So, I am awarding this 6.4/10, though, with the caveat that I am still curious to see what the next sequels are going to bring (currently mainly the before mentioned "Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart" anime series).
