In short, a good movie that i wanted and expected to be perfect, but it wasn't. I think it deserves no more than 7 just for the later parts of the movie, but the first 45 minutes are solid 10 for sure, then it slowly goes downhill. I still love the series, but as much as i really wanted to love this movie I'ts a bit disappointing.

I waited for this movie for so long, I was really looking forward to it, and when i started watching it, it was just amazing. I really enjoyed the anime, and this was going to answer allot of my question. The first half was just great, It has the humor, it's interesting and fun, then it becomes more and more intriguing, and at some point, you can understand everything, and you can figure out whats about to happen, and of course you are wrong it flips everything on its head. The last 30 minutes I just didn't like it as much as I wanted to. It just tries to go as many routes as it can and it really gets frustrating, and then the end happens and you realize that all the stakes, all the routes this movie took were for absolutely nothing.

If you liked the series, you'll love this movie! It's another hit for animated movies this year! CloverWorks does a great job animating everything wonderfully in 2-D. I only wish more movies were animated in 2-D AND got theatrical releases. Even if a short release, this movie was worth seeing it on one of the two days it was in theaters in my town!

One thing to note, there are several moments that tug at your heartstrings. Not surprising from an anime movie, but be prepared to cry a few times. I was sure ready to burst into tears a few times, so you may need tissues!

As far as animated movies I've seen this year, this one is also a solid 10/10! I can't think of any real problem I had with it other than that it was pretty confusing at times (but that can be applied to the anime itself). This movie is up there with Toy Story 4, Steven Universe: The movie, and How to Train your Dragon 3 for best animated movie! Sadly we all know it won't get any nomination, (I mean, neither will the SU movie) but it certainly deserves it. :)
