Hana yori Dango (Movie)

Ok So the original movie is broken up into 3 parts on YouTube -- with no subtitles, there is also a Fan Dub Version of the movie, which definitely soften my feelings of the original series -- that left me feeling disappointed and I may write a review on why, but the Fan Dub Version of this on YouTube Made me LOL so hard, that it soothe any disappointment I may have gotten from the original series.

The story line of this movie actually matched the intro, As I watched the series I wondered when the intro and story line would over lap it never ... did -- which makes me wonder why they didn't just create a new intro, I mean if your advertising dancing I assume that dance will be a big part of the series, since I watched to experience then, to review what it is I feel for a certain anime.

After finishing the anime that I felt was extremely dragged out, I was happy to see a 30 mini-movie that actually went with the intro, the fan dub was the best out of watching all of the series & the original ova video b/c it's funny, and contains a bit more substance to it. This review is for the Fan Dubbed version on YouTube.

Well let me first start of by saying that as much as a big fan I am of Hana Yori Dango, I give this movie an overall 6. Well, mainly because this movie was wayy too short and completely off track from the original plot, which by the way~ is why I loved HYD in the first place. Also, this was a condensed movie of only 30 minutes long, which is why I felt it was missing more material. It was quick paced and not as developed as I would've wanted it to be... However, if your a MAJOR fan of HYD, enjoy short length ... movies, and dancing!! then maybe you might like this movie.

A Cinderella story, about a cleaning girl who wants to become a dancer.

Its a short 30 minute movie about the cast of boys over flowers in a different setting.

I mean the characters are actually the same. You probably won't enjoy this as much if you haven't watched the original series. Otherwise every character will feel sudden. This is because the series presumed you have already seen the original series. The characters are already pre-established.

As far as the series goes. Its ok. It does the whole, poor girl catches the eye of the main star who decides to give her chance because she stands up ... to him schtick. But its the dancing that so weird to me. Many of the dancer arch there back till there head is touching the floor is so odd.

It's also less of a romance story and more of an just a become successful story but it does this in form of montages and there is really no chemistry anybody.

TLDR: What i'm trying to say is that its not very good. The movie would be better if it was 3 times as long establishing the characters properly and adding romance that actually made sense than whatever the hell that was. 4/10
