When we learned the third season was cancelled and replaced by a movie, I was worried, but I thought (I hoped) the movie would be long and explaining the whole ending. But they didn't even do it this way.
Though I didn't read the manga yet, I've watched all the anime (both seasons and the 1st movie), so I was at least expecting to understand the movie. Well, I understood it, but it's not explaining the whole thing at all. It really feels like the movie is getting directly to the end, with almost no connection with the rest of the anime. Some situations remain unexplained, and above all the movie is 45min long, meaning that it's way too short to make something good.
From what I heard, the manga is quite long, so it was impossible to adapt it in a 45min movie.
I'm also deceived because the end seems despite this kinda cool. Touch of comedy, more tragedy and seriousness, it really looked like SnO was evolving in an interesting way. I really would have liked to see the characters and the whole anime evolve in a third season.
This movie had so many potential, and somehow it is awesome to see Ikaros, Tomoki and the others coming back in a different way, but the animation studio clearly missed the point.
So from now on I'm gonna read the manga to see a proper ending, and I recommand to do so for those who didn't read it yet.
