*This will just be a brief, non-spoilery collection of my general impressions of this film.
- This film contains a bit of everything: great comedy scenes consisting mostly of the gags that you know and love from the TV series, colorful action sequences that arguably surpass those from the TV series, and a fair share of well-realized intimacy and small, cute interactions between certain characters. Admittedly I was left wanting a bit more at the end, but that didn’t detract much from the overall immense enjoyment I got out of the
film.
-The animation is vastly improved and the art is distinctly more crisp compared to the TV series. Viewers will notice a clear upgrade in visuals.
-The credits song to this movie, “Ashita e no Melody,” by CHAKA is an upbeat pop song that serves its purpose to a tee in illustrating the mood of the ending moment. The background music does its job well in accompanying scenes without becoming overbearing, mostly utilizing music from the TV
series except in a few instances.
Overall, I thought this movie delivered on all fronts and would fully recommend it.
