This has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever watched. Not even taking into account the actual story or plot, this movie loses many points due to it being SUPER poor cinematically, to the point where it is actually uncinematic. The amount of fade to black cuts are actually insane, leaving for a poor telling of an otherwise very dramatic and compelling story. As a manga reader, I watched in pain and agony as seeming every single transition was a fade to black cut. That alone speaks volumes to how this movie was produced, as it clearly was not a anime/movie adaptation, rather it was a simple retelling of chapters. Even jump cuts could have been a better choice than fading to black every single time. It just feels so awkward and and messy, feeling like they truly tried to cram everything in this movie, which is interesting due to the choice that they made turning this into a movie rather than a seasonal anime adaptation.

My second gripe is the music. Wow the music. It is truly atrocious. I don't know if it was just on my end but the music was almost to the same volume as the dialogue. Personally I watch with subtitles, but I very much love to hear the voice actor's voices and try to feel the emotions they try to portray. That is very hard when the music is constantly in the way. Truly constantly, as for the majority of the film's runtime there will be very basic background music playing, and as most of the film revolves around the relationships and conversations between the Quintuplets and Fuutarou, it was mighty annoying to have music be in the way of the whole shebang.

Lastly, the actual story. The story was adequate enough to serve as a proper ending to the tale of the quintuplets, but as a normal viewer it would definitely be sort of unsatisfying due to the condensation of chapters and scenes for the movie. I definitely feel that if it were adapted into a seasonal anime instead, it would serve as a more fluid and proper ending, but regardless I still enjoyed the story, and if you are a fan of this series then I think you will find the ending to be satisfying and find ways to be happy for the bride and her loving sisters.
