Dokidoki! Precure Movie: Mana Kekkon!!? Mirai ni Tsunagu Kibou no Dress

DDP is finally here! With English subs. I was excited, I watched it straight away.

I know, you might be thinking, Why does a 20 year old watch DDP? And get excited about it?
Because I enjoy it. It brings me joy and fuzzy feels.

I liked the movie, it was great, and I was moving back and forth with the music.
I didn't have high expectations for the movie or anything, and i'm glad I didn't, it wasn't super epic, but I didn't dislike it, and I would watch it again, even buy the DVD.
They only thing I did dislike about the movie was the CGI scenes, I know some of you think CGI in anime is cool, but I just don't like it in DDP, Except for the ED's. I don't mind them.

Story: 8/10
Art: 8/10 (TBH, I think the art was better in the Anime, or maybe it was just my LQ stream.)
Character: 10/10 I love my Precures. However, I disliked the bad guys, I thought they were cliche and nothing exciting. xD
Sound: 9/10. I dance along.
Enjoyment: 10/10. I'm a little kid, and I love DDP.
Overall: 8/10

Must watch for DDP fans. ;)

A notably bad outing for the Dokidoki girls. I watched the first bit in November and didn't get around to finishing it until January, watching the second half at 3x speed to get through. I normally would have just dropped it, but I had a hope it might do something interesting with the memories gimmick. That hope was dashed.

I honestly don't care about Cure Heart much, and the fact that the whole movie revolves around her is a turn off right away. The overemphasis of her memories at the expense of the other girls' is pretty tragic considering how much more interesting their scenarios were. Mana lived a day of her life, pretty much (albeit a bad one), and the other girls were having fairly important outings. I'd have liked to see more of that.

As much as the reasons behind the glimpse of the future made no sense, I did like the look at aged-up cures that we got. It would be cool to see a sequel movie or two for popular teams where they grow up a bit.

As a fan of time travel stories, this movie got me hooked right away.
I was excited to see how this theme would be explored. It was a fun ride up to the climax where things got kinda crazy and confusing. What impressed me the most was probably the theme of grief, which allowed for some emotional scenes. There was also some nice tension and shocking moments. I just didn't like the fight scenes all that much. That aside, Mana is very much the main character of this movie. This is a shame, considering we could have learned more about the other cures' past as well. At least her story was interesting.

Over all I liked this movie for the most part. It has a fine premise, interesting themes, good drama and a nice message.
