5-toubun no Hanayome∽

More pieces from the manga got animated, in this case by Shaft Studio with a solid animation and an extremely Catchy and Beautiful new Opening plus a really cute new Ending, a new segment for every sister and one of the most important for Yotsuba.

This is it, this is the thing that was missing in Season 2 and even in the Movie, a lot of things didn't really make sense for anime only people just because Bibury Studios decided not to animate one of the most important manga chapter and even rush some other ones, but now a lot of dots start to connect with ... each other in this last segment of this/these chapters.

Animation got an extreme upgrade from all of the previous Seasons and Movie, Really Good, Consistent and more Faithful manga designs which i really appreciate.

Sound and Voice Acting was absolutely on point, truly something made with Love and Passion.

I enjoyed this/these chapters a lot, as i said before every sister got a dedicated scene and all of them are really, really enjoyable, truly shows how the characters actually are.

Overall i'll rate it a 10/10, as i said before this is something that Season 2 or Movie should've adapted too, but thanks to the old Studio not doing it Shaft gave us this Amazing Special/Extra that Beautifully animated one of the most important chapter of the whole manga (🍀Chapter 90🍀).

If you didn't read the manga i'll recommend you to watch this after Season 2 and before the Movie.

This is what the quintuplets should have been from the beginning.

I dare say it's the best-animated work related to the quintuplets to date.
You can clearly see the love and care poured into this franchise; the details are meticulously handled, to the point of being surprising.

As for the plot, I can only say that with this expansion, there should be no doubts about why a certain sister is the winner. This element should have been present in the second season or, at the very least, mentioned in the movie, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I'm glad they didn't overlook it.

Furthermore, the rest of the ... girls also have their development, just what I hoped to see: Miku's growth after her confession in Kyoto, Nino's determination to fight to the end, and Itsuki's efforts to avoid discomfort to protect her sisters.

Personally, I think some important elements were missing, but that's not a complaint. Perhaps there will be more animated projects in the future, or maybe not, which would be a shame.

Regarding the animation, words fall short to describe how magnificent it is.
Shaft Studio has done an incredible job, from the color palette to the quality of the artwork, camera movements, and, of course, the fluidity of the animation. However, I must mention that the backgrounds are quite static, which takes away some magic from certain scenes, as it feels odd to see one or two characters animated so well while the rest remain as still as stones.

The soundtrack, both principal and the background music, is exceptional. I would dare say the opening is the best in the entire franchise, and the ending is very comforting. The background music tracks fit perfectly and evoke the essence of the first season, which I greatly appreciate.

As for the characters, they haven't undergone significant changes, but their thoughts and the reasons behind their actions have been delved into, something I missed in the movie. It's fun to see the sisters getting along without constant fighting, and, of course, Fuutaro acting like a high school boy and not a bitter guy who only studies.

Without a doubt, this is a special that I highly recommend. It's made with love and preserves the essence of the franchise.
If you're a fan of the quintuplets, you'll enjoy it immensely, regardless of which sister is your favorite.

Very strangely placed tv specials, as they are just 2 random episodes after the anime has already been finished. They are also in no way relevant to the story, which is probably why they weren't originally adapted. One episode is a beach episode and the other is a pool episode, which is hilarious because of course we needed these two obligatory episodes to finish off a romance harem anime. I think the second episode mainly serves to deepen Yotsuba, while the first episode is all about how Futarou feels about the quintuplets. If you are a fan of the series, you can watch it, but ... you don't have to.
