Seishun Buta Yarou wa Randoseru Girl no Yume wo Minai

This movie felt like an old friend. It's been years since I've watched the ending of the series, and I've skipped two movies in between, but watching it was an easy return to what I enjoyed about the Bunny Girl senpai. (I refuse to call it the Dreaming Rascal series, I only do watch it for Mai.)

This movie had an air of finality around it. Sakuta's family arc has come full circle, and Sakuta is ready to move to the next level with Mai. I really like the poetic echo of the call back to the first arc of the series, with Sakuta experiencing Mai's ... "adolescence complex". Switching places meant Mai got the chance to save Sakuta, if she wanted it.

Really, this was a good place to end the series, even if it has several novels remaining and it is ongoing.

To be frank, I didn't quite enjoy the movie as much as the previous 2. The themes explored within this movie simply pale in comparison to what was shown in S1 and the previous movies. Sakura's conflicting feelings simply felt too distant for me to comprehend, though other viewers may think otherwise. I believe that the slow pacing and depiction of the problems experienced by the MC in the show simply didn't tug on my heartstrings.

However, I feel like the SOL scenes and the deepening of the relationship is more than worth watching the movie regardless. Major and minor characters make their appearance too ... and are enjoyable to watch.

Let me just start by saying that "Bunny Girl Senpai" is one of the most realistic shows I've ever watched. I know it's funny to say this when the show deals with "Adolescence Syndrome," but it's so grounded in reality that it makes you feel as if it were true.

Having said that, I feel like the movies didn't quite get me as attached as the first season, and in my opinion, they are completely useless and add nothing to the series itself. However, I did end up enjoying them quite a lot.

The production is suitable for the scale of the movie, the characters are constantly ... moving, and they never really feel static.

The story itself was decent; I actually related to a lot of things related to family problems, but overall, I don't know if it was necessary at all. I think this was the weakest out of the three movies because the real story doesn't start until the latter half of the movie and was resolved quite quickly.

In the end, I enjoyed this and would give it a 6.5 or a 7 since we have to round the scores up.
