| Man!! finally closed my 2 year's chapters of not watching it. I liked it a lot. Since the end of the manga I knew who was going to be the winner and yes, it was Yotsuba. My favorite is Miku but I thought the winner would be Itsuki, especially with the 2nd season...and also with what happens with her in the movie! I feel that there should have been more moments with Yotsuba because with the others there were many moments in which they could have been the chosen ones, but well. Both Father's participations were great in this movie. The quintuplets game part was nice. The ending is very nice. Very good movie, the girls will be missed <3. but ooh yeah we've more to watch the Honeymoon Arc✨. Finished on 17th June 2024 at 16:44 Hrs IST.     |
| I wish it was Nino that won, it was sad to she her upset afterwards. |

| pretty great movie, was a bit surprised with who Futaro chose to marry, which was what I expected the least. Kinda bummed out that my theories and parallels regarding Itsuki from Season 2 are now invalidated, everything seemed to fit perfectly. I am satisfied with the ending though and it was a great watch, comedy was great, and the festival was nice. |
| It's an okay conclusion to the series, pending the anime-original honeymoon arc. There's at least 3 points working against this movie: 1. It's too much drama for my taste, whereas the two seasons and the special episodes are mindless fun and guilty pleasures. 2. The drama with their biological dad, whilst it is supposed to let us know what happened to him, was botched. It'e unnecessary for the movie. 3. Inconsistent characterisation of Yotsuba. She was a bumbling idiot for much of the series. One might dislike her for that, but Yotsuba's characterisation before Fuutarou started tutoring them felt unbelievable. She wanted to be so unlike her other sisters and leaves a bad taste in your mouth if you like Yotsuba due to her being a klutz. It's an attempt to make her a complex character but failed big time. Even Nino's characterisation felt natural. |
| Loved the movie a lot. It was Bittersweet without any Sugarcoat, true to what it should be. Wholesome, charming, awkwardly cherishable moments are a reason to like the show. But the way it develops to be So real, so Close replica of a real life outcome of a love triangle. It's bittersweet and we knew that from the very beginning. This show has so many things to offer, it values life. 10/10. A beautiful End to a Beautiful Story. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| I was actually thinking it would be either Itsuki or Yotsuba because they both seemed the least obvious. And in hindsight, it was always going to be either the first lead the MC meets, or the childhood one. I feel so bad for the others who were sitting in their respective rooms hoping he would pick them. Then he picks Yotsuba who would not have even turned up if she didn't forget her phone. Doing that move in separating them made it so much worse than if he gathered all of them together and then simply said who he picked. I really wanted it to be Miku (or Nino, though I always thought she was fairly unlikely). My issue with Yotsuba is that it didn't feel like there was really much going on between them for it to build up to this moment. Miku and Ichika had many more intimate scenes (e.g. the igloo and festival) and their feelings and chemistry with Futaro was present throughout the anime. With Yotsuba, when I look back at the anime, nothing stands out that makes me go "Oh so that's why he chose her". There was that one day out, but that seemed like it was crammed in to make Yotsuba look a bit less random when he eventually picks her. I also find it hard to believe Yotsuba was the one who ran up to Futaro at the bell because she never really outwardly expressed her affection of Futaro in that way. That seemed like something Miku or Nino would've 100% done. But regardless, Miku had her chance at Kyoto and completely blew it (which makes this ending sting even more). And I still feel happy for Yotsuba. She was with him not just when they met as kids, but she was the only one who appeared at the beginning of his first tutoring session. And I suppose in some ways when looking at it, she was always the background support of many things that happened - whether it was with her sisters or Futaro. Also, they've both got that bunny ears thing on their head. Itsuki was my least favourite beforehand, but she really grew on me in this movie. I think in subsequent rewatches, she'll be one I really like. As for the anime special, I don't really like that they're continuing further. I think the way it ended here is completely fine and I will hate if they do something like show the other sisters in relationships or have something stupid come up that would "ruin" the anime *cough* Violet Evergarden *cough*. On a final note, I thought the animation style of the first season was so much better, despite the occasional wonky eyes. While the four of them looked fine in S2/movie, Miku suddenly looked way too young to me. It felt like you had the four identical sisters, but then suddenly Miku as a separate little sister. The animation style in the first season made them all look equal. |

| A great ending to the series. I've already read the manga before hand, so I knew the outcome, I'm catching up on the anime to watch the honeymoon specials that are now more widely available. Yotsuba grabbed my attention off the bat with her energy, genki girls are a pretty high tier pick for me. Nino was good once she dropped the super cold attitude and Miku definitely had the best facial expressions of the group, particularly her pouts. |

| what the fuck. what the fucking fuck. I feel insane. the fuck I love Yotsuba's character but how the hell is she The One? Her stuff had to have somehow ended up mostly on the cutting room floor because she literally didn't have any actual romantic development with Futaro in the series up until this point. I literally thought she was one of the few girls not romantically interested in him at all until she kissed him like 40 minutes into this! When Futaro picked her I thought my head was going to explode I was so fucking stunned. I literally up until watching this had her pegged as the character that had no shot at getting with him. Still a good movie, the further fleshing out of Yotsuba made me cry a few times, but also: hUh?? wHaT?? Looking forwards to the apparent season of anime they're now making out of cut content. |

One of my all time favorite romcoms comes to an end, what a great movie. The opening scene at the water park was awesome, I wish we coulda saw more of it lol, that was some premium swimsuit fanservice to start out with. The entire school festival arc was really nice, love how each girl got their own dedicated mini arcs with Uesugi, call me biased but my favorites were definitely Miku and Ichika’s bits lol. And man, the moment of truth where each of the girls went off throughout the school in separate rooms and let Uesugi choose was the moment this really started to feel like the finale, very heart pounding lol. And I’m sad to say I already knew who would win before starting the movie because I got randomly spoiled back around Season 2 airing, but it didn’t stop it from being a fantastic moment. Yotsuba is not my favorite, but I’m still really happy for her because really all the girls in this show are amazing, and after seeing more of Yotsuba’s backstory it helps show that she deserves the win, really loved seeing Uesugi chase her down and have that moment with her.
And I’ll say, even tho Yotsuba won, this movie was incredibly satisfying as a fan of Miku and Ichika, every girl had amazing moments and at the end it still showed all of them spending time together with Uesugi, so in a way they all won. It does surprise me in 5 years none of the other sisters found other love interests, but maybe that just shows how strong their love for Uesugi was, the fact they can all still chill together is a wholesome way to end it. Yotsuba’s wedding was really nice as well, and having Uesugi pick her out of all the quints looking identical in wedding dresses was a nice touch, it also gave us great final moments for each girl. Also I’m jealous of Miku and Nino’s cafe lol, I always thought it would be cool to own one so that was really nice to see. And the only things I have to complain about with this movie is the stuff with the quints’ biological dad and Uesugi’s childhood friend. The childhood friend ended up being relevant at least but the biological dad stuff felt a bit forced to me, like unneeded drama.
But besides those negatives it was such a good movie, it felt like a super long episode instead of a movie tho, which is one of the reasons I think I would have preferred a 3rd season, but still absolutely loved this. I hate to say goodbye to the Quintuplets but this is the end, been following this series since Winter 2019 so it is heartfelt lol. I definitely plan on rewatching from the beginning soon and I’d also love to read the manga and see what the anime skipped.

| @TheColonel76 Yeah that rewatch didn’t happen soon, unless you count a little over two years soon lol. But yeah, I’ve now finished rewatching the QQ movie, which means my long awaited rewatch of the series is done, but I’m not done with the series overall yet, I thankfully still have those Summer 2023 specials and the recently released Honeymoon specials to enjoy, very excited to see those, but this is technically the end of the series, and man it was a very bittersweet rewatch of this fantastic film. Now since I pretty much said all that needs to be said in my 2022 post I’m gonna keep it short, but the main thing I wanted to mention on this rewatch is how much more I appreciate the way things played out with the quints’ love war for Uesugi, the movie really does give you closure for each girl no matter the winner, Yotsuba may have won but all the girls had such good moments throughout, especially when each girl had a dedicated stretch with Uesugi, it really felt like any of them could have been the winner when he was alone with them, all of them left me with a big smile on my face, maybe besides the biological dad stuff which I still didn’t like on the rewatch lol, it just feels so out of nowhere, but at least Itsuki had her great moment alone with Uesugi after it was done. And to cap off this post so it doesn’t get as massive as my old post, I WILL NOT HEAR ANY YOTSUBA SLANDER! Listen, I get it, folks are upset their girl didn’t win, and Yotsuba unfortunately didn’t get the focus the rest of them did outside of this movie, but damn I feel bad for anyone who writes off this whole film and series just because of the Yotsuba win, my favorites are Ichika and Miku but I still really love this outcome, seeing Yotsuba happy and how all the quints still stuck together after her win is just so sweet, I just love all these characters so much that it didn’t really matter who wins, it’s the journey to getting here that’s most important. So yeah, maybe I wish one of my girls won, but I would’ve been happy for any winner, just like Nino said in Season 2 about wanting to celebrate anyone’s win, I think a lot of people didn’t understand this message, it’s sad but it is what it is. But you know what, those people can kick rocks, I’m here feeling great after seeing the end of this series again, and that’s all that matters. |
