After a long wait, the movie has finally arrived for us to watch!

Love Live! Sunshine!! Over the Rainbow (or in short LLS:OTR) was quite a phenomenal movie. Though it didn't really do much new when it comes to Love Live's nature.

The story makes zero sense. I won't spoil, but we get MORE drama throughout the movie that feels so out of place, and many flaws you can point out that make no sense. But if you're already used to Love Live!, you'll understand the basic concept does not make sense at all (Ex: Where the heck does the music come from?), and still a few other contradictions.

If we put the story aspect aside, we get a masterpiece of a movie. The songs and dances in the movie were amazing, especially with the constant switching between CGI and 2D, which I found to be done really well (especially if you compare it to the very first season of LL).

The songs were really good overall, a few bangers, a few mediocre ones, it balances it out.

The setting in general was really nice (Italy!), though it's quite a shame that like in µ's movie they didn't have way too much time abroad and went back to Japan to solve the rest of the series.

The movie gave the finale we needed for the series, and I still have hope to see spinoffs or similar anime adaptations in the Love Live! universe.

Oh, and by the way, if you're a 3rd years fan, this movie just hits the sweet spot that gives them quite some screen time.


In general, if you're already a fan of the series, you're going to love the movie, but if you aren't really, you'll meet the same old flaws and problem yet again.

And since I'm a huge fan, I rated it 10/10.
