Bakuten!! Movie

One of the most beautiful animes, which I've ever seen. The story takes place after the series, when the boys prepare to their Interhigh competition. So, it's not a spinoff and not a recap movie. We can see scenes of the everyday life of the characters and I liked it, because I find the characters interesting, so I watched those scenes with interest as well.
There are more emotional scenes, the boys are more emotional in the movie than in the anime, but I sensed their feeling. They were before a crucial decision and it was important for them to feel that there are others with ... them. Some funny moments made the movie more colorful.
The movie made me bigger fan of the series and Yuki Hayashi's awesome work on the music makes the movie even better.

hmm… i wouldn’t say the movie is bad, it just went in a different direction than i expected i guess. i was expecting the movie to be focus on the team participating in the nationals competition since it's all they talked about in the tv series. so when the competition begin right from the start, i started to think something else might happen if not there is too much time left in the movie, lol.

the movie as a whole felt very emotional i feel, because of the third years graduating and the coach leaving the team, keep making me teared up. wished it was a ... more joyful execution to happily end the whole series.

lastly, i think the ending performance where both schools performed together is a nice addition however the music for their performance felt weird to be honest. in some way, it just felt like the wrong music was being chosen to match their performance, think there should be better options out there. therefore, all in all, the movie just felt pretty average to me.

This story was a disappointment. The style matches the series style. Some of the characters were irritating to me in the film. They felt slightly out of character from the series. I was looking forward to the competition and hoping they would win since they previously lost. To have them lose twice and for almost the same reason but with a different character was a gut punch. I lost interest in the rest of the movie after that. I finished it just for the sake of finishing it but there was nothing for me to look forward to. In conclusion, I loved the series but ... hated the film. I’d you also loved the series and wanted to see them win, then you should skip the film.
