Fun movie, but overall pretty underwhelming. Visuals and music is really good, Ado's singing really carries the movie. Everything else is just a mess though. The story is not very well written and there's a bunch of cameos from previous characters for no other reason than to have them there, they serve no purpose to the plot at all. It's fun sure, but doesn't make for a good movie. The episodes which give some "backstory" to Uta did little to nothing to impact my enjoyment of the movie at all so wouldn't worry about watching them before the movie.

I enjoyed the movie and would give ... it a 6/10 score on pure enjoyment alone, but unless you're a big One Piece fan I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.

Aharen-san is a very basic show. Just by watching the first episode you're basically exposed to what you'll see for the remainder of the show. It has some light humor with some cutesy art and some very basic characters and is overall a pretty mediocre show I'd say. After watching the first episode I was a bit hesitant whether the show was worth watching or not, but after giving it a chance I found it to be a very relaxing and enjoyable show altogether.

The show isn't really anything unique, it's pretty much just another cute school rom-com anime. Depending if you like the humor and ... the character's it could be a hit or miss. I personally really liked Raido with his bizarre imaginations and catchphrase he would always use. Other than my own liking for this specific character I wouldn't say the show is anything special. It's an ok show and I had fun watching it.

For me a rating of 5 means average/mediocre, so I'm gonna give this show a 6. Not bad, not amazing, but still fun to watch.

This movie seems to pretty much just be a commercial for the manga. For me that's not necessarily a bad thing, as I did enjoy most of what it had to offer.

First of all I gotta say, this movie was way too short. A movie split into 3 anime length episodes was too little and is one of the biggest setbacks this film has.

The story starts way to abruptly with minimal explanation and the overall story suffers because of this. There just isn't enough time to properly introduce the character's or pull you into the plot. While the story isn't anything too special, I ... did find myself liking some of the character's even if they were pretty shallow.

Now for the art, animation and sound I have very little complaints. The character design is well done, something Kubo Tite never seems to fail on. The animation was smooth and well done. I only noticed the 3D animation being slightly jarring once at the start, other than that I can't say I even noticed it being used much.

Other then that, the art style is clean and I loved the color palette. The sound was really good and varied. I found myself liking a lot of the background music and the ending song was decent as well.

All in all this series has good potential and I hope Kubo Tite is able make something great out of this. The movie did suffer quite a bit from being so short, but I'm excited to see where this goes. I have yet to check out the manga, but hopefully we get a full length anime season once it gets a bit further.
