I really liked. Actually, I'm a little surprised at the reactions I see in this thread, thought most people would be crazy over it. I didn't even get the feeling it was slow, to me it was just right and fitting. Only thing that managed to annoy me (again) were koda's subs. What the hell is wrong with that person. DB shouldn't have invited her.

My gripe was that everyone who died in the series magically appeared alive and well. That irked me to no end, this isn't Dragonball.

Wow....what a great series this was and now this movie just makes things so much better......I am happy for one unlike some people who had a while before they saw this movie.....I had fresh memory and so enjoyed remembering how the series was at first to come right away to this movie. This is so long I have to separate in let's say three parts of 30 minutes......let's start with the first one....I was a little confused as to what Saki was doing in New York but things got explained very well in the beginning with Akira adopting Linuma's illegitimate son. I found it brilliant what Hirasawa did with the building Akira bought in the series making it into the project he had in mind but the sign reminds me of Macintosh somehow=>
So it's been 6 months after with a short 3 days after the missile attacks. I am suspecting that Linuma's death was arranged with Juiz's assistance. Tsuji though well to have a financial mean instead of relying on Juiz with that yacht he got and Air King products=>


Saki's meeting with Akira was good.....I like it better the first time they met it was more funny but this time around Saki had it more formal let's say. A lot less fan service of Kuroha so that's good. No.6 is nuts.....some movie maker? The guy is a joke in a nerd look=>
Was interesting Juiz has more of a personality and refuses more requests.....I take it as either AI evolves like Skynet in T2 or simply a nice sudden change. I liked how Akira made up that story and got Saki's cell phone back from the taxi driver.....#6 , #7 and #1 are pretty dirty themselves. Laughing at Ohsugi how he still takes his love seriously towards Saki after all those things in the first season. Mikuru and Onee were nice to see again. I also had a bad feeling about the bugging of the cell phones themselves. Loved that first meeting of Saki since 6 months ago=>
Of all things Pantsu being back! :D For people that were confused by it....he never died.....even at the end of season 1 he was at a hospital with a broken leg....since 6 months passed it was enough to recover=>


Pretty cheap of #6 to use that explosion. Dumbo movie part with Saki x Akira with the cover staying in the theater pretty cute I would say. So the ring refereed to a horse ride built before the 80s.....I really though it was more of a marriage proposal to Saki....oh well but during that part #6 with flame thrower was nuts. Good thing Kuroha came around with that Porsche Cayenne. Most disturbing points were Hajime not being dead..what the heck I though Mr.Outside was to kill them when they run out of money....Yuuki is still alive just by destroying his cell phone? Nice twist there......=>
and the most shocking of all Mononobe found out about Juiz being truck driven due to season 1 and blowing them up with missiles...O_O everyone losing Juiz depending on which truck get's destroyed is insane......it raises the challenge much more with that. Air King is amazing as a nickname.......I counted nasty grenades, UZI, 2 9mm, a possible desert eagle and a .44 magnum here? Nasty trick towards Saki=>
Overall long ramble but sort of long movie to talk about. Looking to see how this ends. I forgot that Saki looks splendid with that dress.

Panties didn't die just from getting hit by a car, hell, you saw him in the hospital in the last episode of the TV series IIRC.
Who else are you referring to, though?

He is talking about Hajime's case of why he is not dead and I find it strange too but on the bright side Kuroha suddenly changing by not killing Johny was what impressed me most since I find that a hard habit to have let go.....guess Akira did it again.

I really enjoyed this. It's best to not think of this movie as a stand-alone movie, because it's not. Things are set up well for the finale...I'm really excited but now I have to wait.

Anticipated more, but i guess this it prepares for the second movie which isn't that bad. Had some funny moments. NO6 was definietly retarded. No1 seems to be the bad guy now but obviously the awesome Takizawa will prevail!
Ending was good;D

The only thing I learn from that movie was the location of Juiz. One lesson learn when you are smuggling something do it on unmarked truck!

Absolutely loved it, made me remember why I enjoyed watching the series in the first place. The pacing was slow at first but built up well for the ending.

Now to sit here and wait for the next movie. :l

It was okay. Not much happened to progress the story, but it was still enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for the second movie. Going to be a long wait though :*(

Well certainly not amazing like the series itself but definitely continues the story well enough and still made for an enjoyable watch. I'm looking forward to the conclusion in the last movie.

I watched this a while ago but forgot to comment. For some reason, that square shadow on all of the characters noses in the exact same spot bothered me a lot for some reason.

I'll join the disappointed side.

I think the slow pace really killed it, unlike the anime in which everything seemed so fresh and new at the time.

The only things of interest to me are:
- #5 still being alive
- #10 faking his death, and coming back to take revenge on... #1?
- Who is #12
- How is #2 going to win the game
and any other Selecao mysteries.

Otherwise, I couldn't care much for a lot of the characters, except maybe King Takizawa, and the NEET with Ikkaku's voice.

This is hard to judge since it's a continuation of the anime and it paves the way for the second movie which should be much better.
(No more updates on this sig until I get a new server with a better cronjob service)
