It's an absolute masterclass. Anyone who isn't like 30 years old plus will love kaguya-sama. It simply does not get better than this. this is cinema. if you have seen kaguya-sama, you don't need a review to watch it. if you haven't seen kaguya-sama, I pity you. Very few romcoms can seamlessly transition between romance and comedy like this one. Anti-climactic moments are a staple of romcoms, and kaguya-sama does it perfectly. The one criticism of kaguya-sama has been it's romance. The art is great, the animation is breathtaking, the sound is great, loveable characters, interesting plot. But what about the romance? that's where the movie comes into play, and it knocks it out of the park. And they do so without being cringe, or sacrificing the comedy that made kaguya-sama what it is today. Long-story short, kaguya and shirogane focus on revealing their true-selves to each other, understanding each other beyond the facade that they put up to achieve their high-scoring results. Looking beyond social-status, family pressure, social ostracization. In-terms of the grand-plot, nothing really moves here but that's what season 4 will do. This movie tied up lots of loose ends for the most part, doubts present after ultra-romantic. Kaguya-sama- love is war: the first kiss that never ends is what peak cinema looks like. 10/10 thanks for reading -nashy
