Synopsis

With summer vacation coming to an end, the girls are having as much fun as they can with their remaining time. However, their daily shenanigans are cut short when Suguru Koshigaya wins the grand prize of a lottery—tickets to Okinawa! After hasty preparations, the Asahigaoka group embarks on a three-day trip for their final summer getaway.

Upon arriving in Okinawa and checking into an inn, the group comes across Aoi Niizato—the young daughter of the inn's hostess. Despite being of similar age, her mature demeanor leaves Natsumi Koshigaya reflecting upon her own childish nature. With the sign of an unexpected friendship blooming on the horizon, the girls waste no time diving into their ambitious sightseeing plans and regional activities!

What a lovely movie! I sat on this for over a year before finding the perfect time to watch it, and I’m happy to say it exceeded my expectations. Based on the promotional art I thought it would feel like the beach episode, but it’s a more well-paced, more well thought out adventure that uses the runtime wisely to create a satisfying arc throughout the movie, something longer and more immersive than what is possible in one episode. And I liked the character focus as well (won’t spoil who), but all of the main cast gets a chance to shine multiple times throughout the movie. ...

Here we are at the close of another year's film festival. I've decided to close things with a look at a film based off of an anime I've reviewed, Non Non Biyori. It's a very solid slice of life and I honestly just wanted to see more of it.

Story:

We open with our girls, Renge, Hotaru, Natsumi & Komari, just hanging out and trying to make the most of their summer vacation before it ends. That's when they spot Miss Candy Store, Kaede, and Renge's oldest sister, Kazuho, driving to the department store. The four of them convince the older women to take them ...

I got to say, this movie has been better than the main series itself.

NNBM:V is an extended episode of Non Non Biyori, a series about a bunch of girls living the best of their lives in a rural village which was an absolute paradise. My impression of the series is that apparently everyone in the world is good and free from any hints of evil, thus it is probably one of the most lighthearted shows ever, albeit probably too idealistic. The movie further reinforces the same ideals as the series proper but this time, they are on another paradise and with their capers much more ... fun this time.

The story as usual is bare bones but what fuels the show has been how each character bounces their quirks with each other on their excursions. As slice of life shows go, the movie definitely gave each character a moment to shine. In the movie, Hikage, who was merely sidelined before was definitely my favorite here due to her hilarious antics and unfortunate situations she gets in. Likewise there is a bit of feels too with Natsumi and her new friend. Renge remains the darling as she is and the rest keeps up with their own shenanigans as well and as with tradition, the guy remains mute. So sum it up, this is a standalone movie which encapsulates the show's strengths only with a higher production value.

Production-wise, this definitely takes the cake. Everything looks gorgeous, particularly with the whole village of Okinawa which was highly detailed and immersive. Seeing the character just mess around the village was fun and being used to the series, it was probably the best one yet. They better pay those background artist well.

Sound was good i think. Voice actors remain good at delivering their lines, particularly Renge and Hikage who were particularly featured this time around along with Natsumi. OST was ok.

Characters do a lot this time and with the whole crew united, it did feel like a family trip where the audience was a spiritual member. Everyone remains idealistically good-mannered and Okinawa is still a paradise of good folks. The sideplot of Natsumi was particularly packs in some feels but never quite reached the strong note like other drama shows.

By the end of the movie, seeing some get emotional on returning back to their village did paint the same feelings I have whenever I come back from a vacation. It felt satisfying just like how the second season ended and truly worth its 'vacation' title.

If you ever want to feel refreshed and want a light, easy watch, this is probably one of the better anime movies for such. Light drama, just people having fun, and exquisite sceneries to chew. Sometimes this ingredients are enough to call something great.
