While I do like this film, I don't love it. Visually, I find it's a bit lacklustre for a theatrical film, especially when looking at characters in the backgrounds. That said, I do appreciate the use of music from the show. That made me smile.
You don't need to see the show before watching this, though I would still recommend doing so anyway because it's just a damn good show (it's a serious contender for best magical girl anime).
