Mixed Feelings
I'm a big fan of the K series. I loved the first K anime a lot and the second season I enjoyed a lot as well. Mikoto is my favorite character so I was excited to see this movie and get to know a bit more about his backstory, but unfortunately it was quite disappointing in my opinion.

Story: 3
Where K succeeded in creating an amazing story in the first anime, R:B Blaze almost didn't have a story. HOMRA has trouble with a boy Yamata. The story around this boy seems far-fetched, as if the makers had trouble coming up with a reason for Mikoto and Munakata to meet. It wasn't explained very well either, in my opinion.

Art: 6
The aesthetics in this movie were just as good as in the anime. Unfortunately the character art is changed. Characters don't look the same and for some reason suddenly have ridiculously big eyes. I probably would've loved the art if I hadn't seen the anime, but in comparison it's worse. The animation is still impressive, however.

Sound: 9
The soundtrack remains amazing.

Character: 8
The characters in this movie are mostly the HOMRA members, with appearances of Scepter 4. Each of the characters have interesting personalities. It did feel like some of the relationships between characters were a bit off, like between Mikoto and Munakata, but since the movie is a prequel their relationships might have changed through time.

Enjoyment: 3
I really wish I could say otherwise, but this movie bored me. The storyline is very flat. The fighting is pretty impressive, but mostly because of the animation and not because of the story. The movie does get better towards the end, but overall it's quite boring.

Overall: 5
Unfortunately this movie is not what I wished for. The storyline is flat. It is interesting to see Munakata and Mikoto meet, but I feel like the movie could've been ten minutes long instead of fifty. The art is different than in the anime. Sound and character are amazing, but it doesn't make up for the poor story and execution of story.
