| god i missed Iroha After watching this i still want more because i got all excited in the start thinking it was a time skip (only to rewatch it and notice it was her mom) even with that said i liked how you got to learn more about her past while the daily routine of the members of Kissuisou continued. not to mention those Nako-chi moments gave you all those family feels glad she got more screen this time really nice character,feel Minko got the short end of the stick in this though but that's fine with me lol. |
 |
| Waiting for BD and subs was damn worth it. From beginning to end it was so enjoyable and it was nice to see the backstory more of Ohana's mother. 10/10 And now to wait patiently for the Steins;Gate Movie... |

 |
| It was nice and relaxing to watch. But considering it was a movie, it wasn't anything special. There was some nice scenes though, like Nako and her siblings. I wanted to see something that was a little different than the episodes. |

| attagirl satsuki. any woman who can raise a child on her own is no kid. that's a full fledge adult. i love this movie. it just goes to show we dont magically turn into adults; it's a process -- many months and years of jumping through hoops, enduring life's trials and tribulations, do we finally grow up. just because someone is 18, 20 or 25, does not mean they're 'adults', especially if they're still doing the same crap they were doing a decade ago. only until we secured the income and gone through the years of raising a healthy, sound child, can we call ourselves adults. 8/10 |

| so this happens before they left Kissuisou, its really heartwarming and tears during nako arc..satsuki's story is really nice and want to see a standalone series for her.. like the family theme in this movie, gonna miss ohana, nako and minko.. hope they make sequel coz i want more.. |
 |
| It wasn't overly ambitious but it was still a very nice movie. Satsuki's backstory was fantastic as was the character development and Ohana. Hanasaku Iroha is such a good series which makes me really sad I have to say goodbye for what is likely to be the last we see of them. Whatever the case, I'll continue to fest it up for as long as the term makes sense in my mind. 9/10 |
 |
| Anyone have any idea what happened to Ohana's father, that camera man?? |
 |
| Awesome movie, I loved every bit of it Going back and forth from the present to the past Featuring Ohana and her Mom Satsuki Minko's story about her work in the kitchen and Nako-chi's family problems were done very well Knowing how the tv-series ended, it's kind of sad to assume this is probably going to be the end of Kissuisou with most of the interesting parts being told/added Unless the writers gets stroke of genius and come up with an equal or better continuation |

And that movie was great, though would love to see season 2... I mean watching that movie last night 1am, at the ending... seeing Satsuki being so positive and happy about the future... man that was so emotional for me... I mean, I felt so happy and had this feeling I could do anything... and how Life is beautiful, and how u should never give up, and how in the end everything will turn out good... and I have this great admiration of Satsuki... nice, nice... |
  |
| I demand a season 2. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I prefered a sequel however they did a good job though |

| her dad's probably dead.. I just want to say one thing BABY OHANA IS SO DAMN CUUUUUUTTTEEEEEE!!!!! ♥♥♥♥ |
 |
| this movie is splendid, especially the art! i don't know that P.A Works really at this level! the story is also fine, especially nako-chi XD\ but i think this movie has no surprise factors, but still it's worth to watch |
 |

| i think the serie is better, i like ohana mother but not ohana, this movie seem to be focus on her but why is there so much ohana, and the scene where she cry for nako felt so off to me -1 8/10 |
| Hem, I'm content with the movie and dissapointed at the same time - I hoped for some plot points to be resolved like Minko and Tohru hooking up or Tomoe finding herself a man (preferably Ren-san *shameless shipping*) but then again I liked the focus it put on Ohana's mother. I bawled like a baby during Mana's search. It was very good as a movie, on par with the series. fst said: Is that who I think it is on the posters about 22 minutes in, or am I just a racist who think all asians look the same? I NOTICED THAT TOO. My headcanon tells me, that the movie on the posters was a hit back then and every guy was trying to imitate the main character or something like that and Ren was among them :D |

| 8/10 Solid movie, had its ups and downs. I really liked Ohana's Mother's story. She's a more likable character to me. Disappointed there wasn't any romantic development between Ohana and her childhood friend. |
 |
| I really really like it. I wanted to see her mother's childhood. |
     |
| This reminded me how much I love and missed Hanasaku Iroha... Yuina was acting so cute when she was cutting those branches xD Nako has such cute siblings esp. her sister and gotta love the sibling who was eating quitely and enjoying each bite, reminded me so much of my childhood days as I was a bit liike that. Nako is such a nice sisterl, taking care of her siblings when she was so tired. Her mother's story was so nice, and 'slice-of-life' like, I don't know; it feels more real than most of the romance-related stuff I have seen. It's so amazing... I got my short Tohru x Ohana scene, thanks God they still get screentime together; not fond of Kou x Ohana at all even if it is canon... Minko acting like Yuina, haha. Poor Ren-san xD Gotta love Kissuisu's staff and their teamwork. Nako opening up was so... gave me feels... Loved how Ohana could relate to her and looved every single second of it. Great idea by Yuina. Those bentos by Minko xD Some Minko/Ohana fromance which I missed. Family/flowers huh, I really Ohana's name now that I think about it. Loved how they showed her and her mother running near the end. Ohana's smile was so precious... This movie was a genius, what is wrong with people... I mean seriously? 8.10 is all you think it deserves? I was totally expecting a 8.5+, so underrated both the series and this... 10/10 for me (if it isn't already obvious enough :p) |
 |
| Great movie but I was expecting a sequel e no screentime for Kouichi disappointed me a little. 8/10 |
 |
| I decided to hold off on this movie until I was half way to the bottom of a bottle of scotch. That was a bad idea. So many feels... All and all it was a great movie. It added some nice depth to things the anime didn't explore. I was happy when I saw this was coming out because I had enjoyed the series so much. Now I feel just as depressed as I did after the last episode of the anime. |
| 9/10 Great movie i like it, It's good the see them again |
| This would've been an AWESOME movie if it just focused on Ohana's mom's back story. I personally didn't care too much about the present segments, but the back story of Satsuki was enough to carry this movie. |
| I really liked it, it was fun to know about Satsuki's past. |
 |
| Pretty good movie.... It's nice how they focused story between Ohana and Satsuki.... 7/10 |
 |
| That was a wonderful movie. It was so short which was a bummer but honestly the length suited it. A conflict of wanting more but any more would of been too much. Glad we got to see so much back story with Satsuki which was something I always wanted to see. Ohana go confess to to Kou!!!! Right now!!!!!! 9/10 I really enjoyed the TV series and have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this to finally make it's way with subs. Missed this series. nano.Ripe ED = win. Movie end card was freaking amazing. |
| The scope of the movie I found was wonderful, Satsuki's past made up for a personal heartfelt story and while at first I hoped for more length, what was covered was not rushed and it left enough gaps to interpret making the final, rather nostalgic sentiment much like the anime's ending. I felt that while Minchi's role didn't exist well throughout, Nako's story was a solid recount that contributed to the overall theme. Kouichi was missing but there was no real opportunity for his appearance either, so I didn't feel like I missed his appearance. The ideas captured a strong atmosphere of growing up as well as Ohana's 'bonboru' which runs true with the anime. Overall this is a solid final addition to Hanasaku Iroha and I think I'm gonna rewatch the anime just because I now remember how strong of a characterisation Ohana, Satsuki and Sui all share, the feeling to 'bonboru' and shine! 8/10 |
 |
| I just realized how I missed this series. Will surely rewatch the series again in the future. |
| I liked this movie only because the emphasis placed on Ohana's mother. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Beautiful. |
| at first, i didn't expect that this movie is gonna be good. so that i wasn't excited about watching it. but after finishing it, it's not good. ITS AWESOMEEE!! i really really loved every detail in the movie and i'm finally able to remember how i have adored this anime so far <3 and yeah, i really want more from hanasaku iroha :"( |

| Man, I feel like I could watch Hanasaku Iroha all day and not mind. There's just so much to explore and see. As proven here with more background story on Satsuki. I have to say I wasn't very fond of her in the series, but I always found her relationship with Okami, Ohana and even Enishi very interesting. Granted, she did turn out to be quite the character and I liked her by the end of the series, so it was nice that they dedicated more time for her with this movie. I'm glad Satsuki came to understand Okami's choices and way of life, and I'm sure Okami too realized her mistakes as stated in the anime. What's in the past is in the past though, and so they just gotta "fest it up" now! I was really proud of her when she decided to take care of Ohana by herself. She turned out a great character. Tomoe was so funny at the beginning. Glad Minko could learn a little bit more about being a chef. Nako's little sister segment totally made me cry though ;_; da feels. Ending picture was so cute. Gonna miss the Kissuisou crew all over again! |

| I wasn't really excited to watch this. I wasn't expecting anything but boy, I was so wrong. I liked it and I actually teared up. I can relate to the movie because both of my parents are working so Nako-chan's part were all FEELS. Satsuki-san's past is also interesting with Ohana's dad. Ohana, your father is a great photographer. Satsuki-san's pictures are amazing. 9/10 |
| pew pew pew |
| Really amazing movie, brought tears to my eyes a couple of times and well I just loved the art work and animation in this one! I really waited quite some time for this movie to be out and now that I've finally watched it, I do know it really was worth the wait! A great movie in general to close up most of the story and that could be the fusion for a potential second season? Either way I loved it and got some awesome backgrounds from it! 9/10 |
 |
| that was a nice movie. i found the intro a little bit quiet :D but somewhere in the middle, i started to like it.. i like the part where Ohana cried at that rooftop. |
| Lol Tomoe Ohana x Kou!!! Actually I'm really disappointed... where's Ohana's "Bonboru"? xD Well, I'm glad I could hear Minchi's Hobiron Also, poor Ren-san in the past nano.RIPE yay! I want the ED Illustration as my wallpaper Wow P.A. Works wow~ I'm waiting for Utopia :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| Oh Tomoe, as always her anger is so funny xD Awww.. This movie is so sweet!! Where's Bonboru? Kou x Ohana moments? I just realized I'll miss this again :( |
"Signature removed" |
| perfect characters perfect story perfect anime perfect movie |
| Satsuki is such a fantastic character. She has Ohana's energy but with a bit of an edge, she really makes for a compelling protagonist. I wish we could have had a bit more of her story. Like I wrote in one of the chapter discussions for Hanasaku Iroha TV series, this is slice of life done right. Interesting characters with a story to tell, gorgeous visuals and animation. I want an OVA with Tomoe and Ren finally hooking up! |

| I don't think a large amount of people who read this will agree to what I'm trying to say, but first: Am I supposed to feel sympathy for that bitch of a mother? Am I expected to forget how rotten she is as a mother (and disrespectful towards her lover as a widow)? And what's so wrong with clinging to the past I wonder? The amount of respect and sympathy I bear for someone for clinging to the past is far more greater than someone who "can't lose" to life or to the past or to whatever. This is not only about real life but also about creating a fictive text. I've really had enough of this overused governing idea of not being tied down by the past, written in texts but also projected to real life as if it's the right thing to do even though the only thing it's good for is feeding the illusion of productive human beings. As if what Satsuki does in the end is a good thing. |

As if what Satsuki does in the end is a good thing. I know where you are coming from. I really do dislike Satsuki. I liked her chasing after her dream but the sudden kiss with the cameraman was... strange to say the least. Though her rejection of her mother was a bit cruel, I find the worst part is her horrible treatment to Ohana as a child; it truly scarred her for life and made her lose any sense of tact. It not only tramples on her own dream and her child's future but also her memory of her late husband. Well I do love Ohana as a character though, being able to become such a flower despite such a mother ( though she is a bit loud ). 9/10. Hopes for an epilogue for their reunion at Kissuiso |
 |
| Great themes, splendid visuals and backgrounds, but poor execution. Half of the time is spent on melodrama and Ohana's characterization is really flat just like season one. The other characters, whose two-dimensional traits were apparent but forgivable in season one, fell into a abysmal trap just as like the case of Ohana. Not only poorly conceived, Ohana's naïveté made worse the histrionic scenes, completely undermining the desired effects. Melodrama queen should star in an opera sometime, then maybe she'd *shine* Satsuki's romance, albeit bad, was fairly befitting and somewhat realistic. I mean, the part with her bra and that whole ordeal was more than unnecessary, but it was delivered well afterwards. It felt nice, for completely wrong reasons. The seasonal backgrounds were nicely done. The only justice P.A.Works ever does, as usual. |
| D'aww. A really sweet movie, showing the relationship between the mother and her precious child, an awesome bond between the both! Loved it :D |
