(No spoiler review) Let me start off by saying this is the first review I'm writing on any anime. So you'd assume that I have strong feelings towards this movie. But I kinda don't lol. Yes, I gave it a 10/10 but that's because I personally could relate to it a lot with the story and the characters. And it's just so heartfelt, entertaining, and looks amazing especially in certain scenes. But I know that it's definitely not for everyone and a lot of people won't enjoy it to the degree I did. I'm mainly writing this because of how little the amount of ... people who have watched this there are. It's downright criminal. It's a very good movie on par with a lot of other anime movies I've seen with more than triple the amount of people who have watched it.

So I'm assuming if you're reading this you kinda already know at least a little of what the movie's about. But basically , Goodbye Don Glees is about a group of 3 friends who's group is called The Don Glees who go on an adventure to find their missing drone. Then while on their journey, they discover something about one of their friends that changes the whole course of where you thought the movie was originally gonna go. That's all I can say without spoiling anything.

Now, all that being said, there is one thing they could've done better... and that would be the character development. The characters were all unique in their own way and had good and diverse personalities but the thing that they really should've expanded on is how they all got to meet each other and SHOW how they interacted in the past rather than just SAY "yeah we've been friends for a while." That alone would've made the movie so much more emotional because you would feel the strong connection and dependency they have to one another and that would have had a real impact when approaching the climax of the story.

They could've spent some 10 or 15 minutes extra on developing this. The movie runtime is relatively short being only 1 hour and 34 minutes. So adding 15 minutes for the purpose of developing their friendship would not have made the movie feel as if it's dragged on whatsoever.

That's honestly the only problem I have, and it kind of makes me mad because if they would have done that, it would be a perfect movie.

Definitely give it a watch, you'll at the very least be entertained by this heartwarming adventure.
