woooo man! not the movie i was expecting! watching it again tonight, i really really loved it :) watching it last night, i didn't get ANY of what i was expecting! no crazy plans, barely any embarrassed blushing, and no ultra confidence from Shirogane just to name a few! i NEVER get tired of those things (ノ≧∇≦)ノ ミ ┸┸ what was fucking cool about watching it last night though was that the kiss in the park got a round of applause :D :D :D i thought that was super rad. yeah, this movie had it's funny moments, but it got pretty heavy. watching Shirogane struggle with his lack of confidence in himself was difficult. seeing him like that always me wanna shout at the screen and tell him he's not in such bad shape and to keep forging ahead. it sucks cause we as the audience know that he's a stand up guy, yet it's incomprehensible to him; that's how that shit works though :/ after all he's accomplished, he still gets down on himself. that's rough, but nobody is gonna be able to convince Shirogane of his own self-worth except Shirogane. Watching Shinomiya mature emotionally was also super cool. she gave Shirogane a hard time in the beginning; but at the same time... COME ON MAN! IF YOU DON'T KNOW, BE STRAIGHTFORWARD AND ASK! i wanna see that so bad!!!! even though i love this story so much, i'd be ok with it ending in a single episode if all they did was that hahaha :P anyways, back to it.... Shinomiya took a big risk, exposing her true self like that; but something had to give in order for them to progress in their relationship. it took a lot of guts for her to risk rejection the way she did. i was glad to see that Shirogane's lack of confidence didn't prevent them from getting together. i was surprised to see them become boyfriend and girl so soon! i thought we'd have a longer struggle :) maybe it's longer in the book. either way, i'm cool with it. i wonder what dating is gonna be like for them. i'm looking forward to seeing what's on the horizon. and more and more i want Iino and Ishigami to get together!!! come on! i hope that happens!!! 


i'm so stoked to read that other people had fantastic movie theater experiences as well :D :D :D watching anime on a big screen with a bitchin' sound system in a room full of fans really is the best XD

I found out this was in theaters yesterday and saw it just now. So hilarious, cute, and fulfilling 😊

I am super curious what happened to Ishigami, but I guess that’s for the next part!

Just saw this in theaters. This I'd all I wanted and more. Some cheesy comedy, to serious tone. And just seeing all the characters antics and kaguya "melting" to shiroganes advances was great. 10/10

Now this right here is Kaguya sama at it's peak. Now I don't want to write an essay so will keep it short and just say both of their insecurities were portrayed well and they finally managed to show it to the other and truly get together. I'm so happy for them. Things will be so much fun now that they are together. Loved the comedy moments in between too, Kaguya sama never miss with those. Looking forward to upcoming season.

Honestly my first time ever watching an anime at a movie theater, and it was pretty empty lol, not that it was a problem. I binged the rest of season 3 the day before watching this movie, and it was the right call lol.
The op of the movie is hella banging lol.
 
Random comments from me throughout the movie lol:
Lol Kaguya lost her braincells after the kiss huh. Or more like, she malfunctioned lolol. Her mentality kinda went downhill after that but it worked out later in the end. Ai and Kaguya spamming sex in the chat too xD
 
It's funny how Miyuki also got diagnosed with "love-sickness" lolol.
 
Holy crap Kaguya is a parkour master lmao, she zoomin'.
 
The bite of '87 happened at Chika's party lolol.
 
It's interesting how many times the moon appears in the movie, I think it's probably a nod to the Kaguya moon legend thing, which is pretty cool.
 
Kaguya and Miyuki finally getting together after all the trials and tribulations, very nice! All the kiss scenes were really something, the added in omph factors to those moments.
 
Kaguya and Miyuki both had problems where they couldn't be honest with themselves and each other, being "cowards" one would say, but after they spent some time sorting things out, they were able to get past those issues and get together. Kaguya had a really rough upbringing as a child, being strictly disciplined, and as a result, she developed many "sides" of her, putting on "masks" for the given situation. Miyuki felt the same, as if he wanted to be recognized by others, he would have to work extremely hard to the point of passing out, risking his health. He feels like he's putting on a mask as well when he tries this hard, it feels like he doesn't have a choice.
 
There were also the usual misunderstandings but good thing Miyuki realized what was up.
 
I can't wait to see what's in store for future sequels.

Never ending plan to watch list...

I really enjoyed this, found it very funny and rather mature in following on from S3’s ending

That being said the ending felt strangely sudden and the narration felt a little downbeat even though it seemed to be trying to be mature?

Last thoughts, I wonder what’s next, presumably another season?
And I’m really left wondering what happens next with the Ishigami love triangle? What was that flashback about that Tsubame had?

I too just saw the first two parts tho I am in Japan have been too busy with work and the renewed rise in all aspects of our industry since COVID has sort of passed no time at all to see the film.

I love this series as one of the finest evocations of what anime is best at and that no other media or medium touches as well...the heart, the mind, the soul and the funny bone of any resaonably awake and aware human being man woman or child. this is this series at its finest and going on and on further. I cant wait to see the rest of it. I am so glad many seem to have been able to have that wonderful theatre experience here and abroad and that it is such a joyful ongoing part of this superb series and title.

Well done Author, Studio, Directors, Art Directors Music Directores VA and all. and esp the staff that make it all happen. well done.

Happy New Year to all.Spring is just around the corner and we had the earliest Sakura season almost ever and much enjoyed.

We can finally watch this! Nice! Somewhat...

I really love how there's actually a sequel after that kissing scene but I dislike it for being a movie which took us months (as always) for those who are outside... 👀 then they got the nerve to cut it into episodes... 🤦😑 well played as always. I'm still grateful nonetheless and it's rare to get to watch an actual movie back then on a streaming platform where you can simply view it free of charge (probably).😅

Now to wait for the rest of the episodes as there are only 2 episodes currently available at the moment...


Update: April 3, 2023
Episode 3 & 4 are up!

I really love this story, this anime, all the characters, etc. The concept of TRUE LOVE, really is, a wonderful thing to have.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I think from chapter 140 to 151 which cover the "Ice Kaguya" arc.

Haven't seen it myself (wrong continent) but from what I've heard:

Chapters 138-151 mostly intact, part of 159, most of 160 and a couple of flashes of 154-155, as well as a few all new scenes.
That means we will get at least 2 more season considering that the manga has finished with 280 chapters

Watched 2 parts out of 4 and it's simply lovely. So, Kaguya reminds me of my school days a lot. Sounds edgy but it is indeed true. Basically, how cold she is. That only, kinda.
Anyway, how I can define first quarter? The previous season, Ultra Romantic left the show at an high note, to a point, I thought it is about to end. I actually thought that the movie was actual ending. But now that I am watching it, first half, the way they pieced together the show and the ending from UR, or a better word, organised them was amicable and admirable. The show I've watched till now, basically what aired till now were so damn bad that I was about to drop them because of horrible story telling. The author from this is a person I have very much respect for because how consistent he is with his quality. I really wanted to see the Ice Kaguya ever since I watched the show, now that I get it, it is kinda realistic, the weighing. This is just me pulling out of my ass but I think author knew what we wanted and added it in a way that it is sensible, you can't go it's anime logic here. Aside from that, I think it is a bit of stretching, with Ice Kaguya. I literally thought that, from a spoiler I received, I won't mention it but the hand-holding part let me to... some other conclusions. I really hate spoiler guys for that. Making me my seiso show with impure mind...

I will add the rest later, when I get the last 2 parts but as of now, so this is incomplete and no conclusion for now.

I am grateful for these episodes and i guess they went the extra mile to make a new op and ed. The new op just blew my mind i think it was the best one yet or very close behind season's 2 op.

This series never disappoints. I really love seeing my favorite parts of the manga animated. Especially the "let's lean on each other" from chapter 151. But I hope they don't rush through 160. That is one of my favorites. Not a lot of things get me this hyped. This entire show/manga is truly 10/10.

Welp, they only included the Ishibame Christmas party moment as a flashback...

EDIT: Actually, 160 wasn't quite how I pictured it would play out animated. 9/10 for the movie overall though.

A lot of soul searching in this "4 episode" film, always a blast to watch how they visualize the psyche of our beloved characters. Finally got a real confession as well, very nice. Better than S3, not as good as S1 and S2. Enjoyed this series best when the comedy was at the forefront. 8/10.

I hated this movie. It started out funny, and then just got progressively dumber. Kaguya just goes full borderline, and says the classic "If you can't love me at my worst, you don't get me at my best." And every character is screaming at him to have empathy for her, meanwhile she is BRUTALLY shutting him down and then demanding he read her mind and force through. That's a great recipe for horrible mistakes and tragedies, not exactly good romances.

And while demanding empathy for herself, she refuses to have any empathy for him. Instead she pressures him relentlessly to open up to him and for physical intimacy. I doubt she'd appreciate him pressuring her for sex.

She keeps acting like she'll love him no matter what, when we already know that's not true. She forgot the first time they met when he grabbed her ribbon out of the pond because he was just a normal guy back then. She didn't take any interest in him at all until he became the top student. And she gets angry at him for being apprehensive and vulnerable in certain situations, and then says she wants it the next.

I nearly lost it at the nurse's advice too. Most women don't want their guys vulnerable all the time. Yes, those breakthroughs are definitely often fetishized by many women. But notice the opportune word "moments." And it often has to be when they want it, in the way they fantasized about it. A lot of women get angry, scared, or lose respect for men for showing a level and/or type of vulnerability they didn't want/expect. It's unfortunate, but it's often true. I can normally forgive that in an anime, but not when it just backfired; and not when it was just shown the relationship would have never existed had he just been himself the entire time. I mean did they just forget the episode where she didn't like him when he was well-rested?

It felt like endless melodrama and pointless hypocrisy that could have easily been cleared up if they'd had the talk he kept asking her to have. But it doesn't happen until she suddenly demands that it happen and in the way that she wants. And then somehow everything is just fine and neatly wrapped up in a bow at the end.

I know this is a galaxy brain take, but relationships usually deepen naturally over time, and it's pretty likely that a boyfriend will eventually initiate physical intimacy with his girlfriend. You waited 2 years, but you can't wait a few days? Instead you try to destroy the entire relationship because it isn't exactly how you want it to be?

I liked the first 3 seasons. I really liked Kaguya's character up to this point. This movie just feels like an excuse to both reset the story to slow the pacing, as well as an attempt to portray character/relationship development without actually having it. It really betrayed her character. I would have appreciated it much more if this was given some time and cropped up slowly over weeks or months of dating. And then they finally have a deep heart to heart now that they know each other better. This entire thing just felt incredibly hollow.

3/10. Points for the fetish fuel, chibi Kaguya, Chika, and the hall monitor.

P.S. Pretty cruel that his family left him alone when he was that depressed. Like good luck on your own. Now that an entire day has passed and you haven't eaten lunch, I can make you porridge before I go to bed if you want... Like gee, okay, thanks. Such support. Doesn't match up with earlier in the show either.

What was with that forceful bed scene with Tsubame-senpai though? I had a manga reader friend with me and he told me nothing of the sort happened in the manga, so I'm wondering if it's some sort of a wild interpretation of her struggles or something. Lol to the father btw, didn't know that was his occupation. 

The bed scene did happen (will be covered more in-depth next arc), but the fortune telling didn't. (Also, it wasn't forceful, it was the opposite.)

such a great movie, even better than i expected. been a while since i've seen some good fucking anime.
music and animation were so good. we got lil kaguya chan who was very cute. hilarious moments throughout and some self-acceptance.
i'll give this a 9/10 but honestly, it can pass as a 10 as well. 

we also got some manga-esque animation and with that, it's time to read the manga!

This was the peak of the series to me ngl, huge development right here. Now that's some actual romance. I was expecting something like this since the 1st season. Anyway, pretty good movie overall. We can even see some drama, and very well played, and the romance was just on point, I have no complains about this.
