| i loved it so much, what i like about this anime is that the romance is incredibly natural. the two of them are compatible so they don't have to be involved in a dramatic storyline. it feels real. from the beginning of season one to this, the writing was amazing. |

| Been a long time since I've seen Saekano and I have to say, this movie was a nice return and end to the franchise, a franchise that I expected to dislike at first but think is fairly respectable at the end. It had its fun moments, charming moments, I liked Katou a LOT more than I originally did and the interactions she had with Aki were really damn nice in this movie - from the light hearted moments, to the emotional conflicts all the way till the very end. In the end while Megumi may have not started out as the ideal heroine for me, she sure ended up being the true heroine of not only the story, but the true heroine for Aki Tomoya too. Was happy seeing them together (even if I prefer Utaha likability wise), and their romance moments were heartwarming too. The actual story feels a bit milquetoast due to the fact that the material had to be summarized a bit to fit in a movie, but it didn't affect my enjoyment too much of it due to the interactions still hitting really nicely. The epilogue was a nice touch too. I wish the rest of the supporting cast but at least the heart and soul of the movie was really good. I enjoyed this a solid amount. |
| The only reason this wasn’t 3/10 was the fact that it had some decent payoff regarding Megumi. All the other girls just....don’t really feel like they’re even there. Calling the majority of the movie milktoast is an understatement cause it still somehow felt real slow sans some nice empathic tempos when needed. I’m not saying I wanted any of the girls to win in particular, cause I know who was gonna win anyways. The fact that this movie length feature had to adapt 5-6 whole ass volumes. Holy fucking yikes. No wonder why the emotions rung hollow. Oh yea, post credits scenes are okay. |

| I really enjoyed the movie. Such a good finale to the series, it had everything that Saekano could offer: from laughs to crying, from heartbreaking to heartwarming moments. I will miss these hardworking guys! |
 |
| Hmmmm... It was pretty good I'm happy to see that Megumi won but I also feel bad for the rejected one but it was good so for me 7/10. |
 |
| I know. I hate what Tomoya did on October 23. I know. I hate how he treated his band. I know. I hate how he left Megumi crying. I know this movie is not perfect, but the last 36 minutes is basically the best thing I've ever seen in my life and that's why I can't give this movie a lower grade than the highest possible. I've been waiting for this moment three years since I finished Season 2, and many series since I started watching anime have let me down, leaving me either down or frustrated... and damn I'm glad Saekano doesn't belong to this group. One of the best if not the best ending (and certainly the most beloved) I've ever seen in my life. The mind says 8/10 but the heart says Megumi/10 I do not know if I will be able to see such a well-written heroine. For me in the world of 2D she's mine main heroine. Tomoya you're such a lucky guy xD |

Well, everyone has the opportunity to find their "Megumi". Once you fall in love with someone in RL, she'll truly be your waifu and the best girl ever. |
| It finally comes to an end... Congrats Megumi and Tomoya! |
| Megumi has always been my favorite of the girls and it was great to get her deadpan cuteness back. The story made sense as a final conflict as well and Eriri got a nice resolution to her arc. I was expecting a similar heart to heart scene between Tomoya and Utaha but she really didn't get much other than talking to Eriri about their shared feelings for Tomoya and continuing to run forward. It's been years since I watched the TV show so maybe I'm not remembering some earlier development with Utaha that helped her get over him, but that is one weakness of the film IMO. Didn't realize until I looked online that the epilogue was anime original. So glad they added that in. A great fakeout at the start and tons of character interactions. After the final "kanpai" it sounded like there was a recording of the actual voice actors laughing at an afterparty. Never seen that before and it fits with how meta Saekano is. Glad we got to see a full adaptation of the story! |
| Love, love, absolutely love it. We all know who going to win Tomoya's heart in the end. So it was no surprise for her to win. I rewatched season 1 & 2 before I watch this movie and it was worth it. There are many seasons 1 and 2 easter eggs in this movie. You will realise it when Tomoya talks about the routes in his game. I also loved that the 2 girls were accepted their defeat and trying their best to support Tomoya with his love. I was really surprised by the "ending" in the end and I thought it was real. Overall, it really a good movie and ending for their story. |
ina-astral said: I don't know how many stuffs get skipped over but I am very satisfied with this movie for the whole duration. I had to rewatch few scenes from s1 and s2 but I think I've gotten most of the things that the author wanted to convey in this movie. They are a very lovely couple and the first half of movie was so sickeningly sweet, with the confession scene as the climax; I will never forget Megumi's declaration infront of everyone. I heard from LN readers that they skipped quite a lot but It honestly doesn't feel rushed or that they skipped a lot. Everything concluded very well with no loose ends. |
| Yes, this is so good! Easily my favourite Saekano content and how truly fitting for it to be the finale. I don't care how rushed this is or what got skipped over, the folks over at CloverWorks have my full respect. I'll be honest, I was a little perplexed when this Movie instead of a Season 3 was announced. But now, my only response is - good thing how things turned out, lol. Let's start with the Epilogue because boy did it get me good. I raised my eyebrows when Kato mentioned "that special someone" but got to give it to Utaha-senpai. Come to think of it, this is like the first ever we experienced her work. No wonder why she's so successful in the Saekano world xD. Lol, that singing out of the blue though. And then the real time events were nothing short of fantastic too. Kato correctly guessing Tomoya's horror and a couple of smooches towards the end, this is quality material that I was waiting for. It's such a pleasure watching the characters doing their own things beyond graduation and into adult life. Blessing (aka Megumi) Software lol, great to see. Guess Michiru stayed with music after all, nothing else really fits my image of her in the first place so I'm glad lol. Such a heartwarming closure. I love this sort of thing. At the very end, those were the Staff and Cast celebrating, wasn't it? 10/10 material right there. As for the Movie itself, it was a solid 8/10 from me. Utaha-senpai and Eriri scenes were abundant and it surprised me in a good way how much screentime they managed to get! Cried there while they left as well, it was really heartrending. And then a handful more of the Hashima siblings and Michiru as well. Hashima and Tomoya in that cafe with the BL fans behind is amazing xD, I'm so glad they kept this for the Movie too. And Michiru, more scenes than the entire 2nd Season plus nearly as much as the finale of 1st season. Seriously, tell me now. What didn't this Movie include? lmao Turns out Akane-san wasn't as bad as I imagined either. It's nice to see that she's in good spirits despite the accident though. NGL, that whole scene certainly felt abrupt though. But for all the Megumi development it managed to catapult, all is forgiven lol. Megumi saying Tomoya is hers was a sight to behold. Hashima siblings, naughty. Megumi and Eriri having that bath scene was really nice to watch as well. Nice insert songs to keep us company too, as well. Especially that final song to accompany us on the Winter Comiket. Best moment? Easily the confession scene! Kayano Ai-san and Oonishi Saori-san giving us the push was perfection too. Lol, Tomoya messing up the timing there. But, no worries, leave it to Megumi to set that right. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) All in all, this is just the perfect close to what has indeed been a very entertaining ride. Animation Quality was consistent and that was more than enough for me. Quite the classy start to the Movie as well, I must say. Thanks to all the Staff and Cast for their hard work over the years! I know this deserves a 8 but my heart screams 9. So, if you know me, I'll go with a 8.5/10 lol. As such, this gets a generous 9/10 from me. Will most definitely rewatch this Movie in the near future. I'm a total sucker for closures like these... Oregairu, Shokugeki no Souma and now this. My tears have run dry ;-; lol. |

| It was worth waiting one year <3 |
| That fakeout ending broke me so hard, man. I got baited... |
| I need sleep. |
| It wasn't amazing, but it was bittersweet. First love, first heartbreak, the honest and dishonest feelings among all characters, they were bittersweet. Relatable and cute I suppose. I am glad to finally see how it ends. |
| I can't help but feel this is about a half hour longer than it should be. All that ultimately unnecessary hospital drama served no purpose but to artificially delay the ending and introduce a bunch of cringe-worthy angst. The 'review' part of the post-credits segment pretty much nails just how lackluster the end result is. |

Afarran said: One of the only animes where the girl that most fans agree on here won, + she has short hair... It was a very good movie tbh, better than the seasons, crying moments, laughing moments, cute and ecchi also... everything a weeb need. They got us in the first half after the credit but it was a nice scene. 1 kiss in 2 seasons,4 kisses in 20 min. NICE Actually 5 kisses. 3 during the confession and 2 during the epilogue in the kitchen. 1 was behind the pillar while the last was what you could see. |
FlamingMangos said: The movie actually skipped a lot of source material so it needed more than less. All that means is that the source material is even worse (i.e. more bloated) than the movie. Not seeing how that's an improvement. "More" doesn't necessarily equal 'better'. In many cases it results in quite the opposite. |
| Such a beautiful movie... Love the confession and general tsundere of Megumi... Nice conclusion to a great series. Will miss those reference though lol. That SAO poster in his room though hahahaha. (KiritoxAlice) Also, that post-credit scene was long lol. 10 mins at least. 10/10 |
| Solid ending to solid series. Megumi best girl :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Kato best waifu of all time. thats it. |
 |
| I guess this was the best conclusion for a harem series among those I've watched. I am completely satisfied. Nice job! Also, I loved the way they casually break the 4th wall. |
| Best girl won. All is well in the world |
| yes yes yes, finally after so many anime my favorite girl wins, Megumi is best waifu for sure, I'm very happy, yoohoo yoohoo yoohoo. Damn bitches in heat deserved to cry, I laughed when they cried. Annoying even in the end though, imagine wanting to have sex but can't because your ex crush, your idol, your coworker employee and your cousin are in the room, I say screw them, well they have plenty of time for fvcking, they're in their 20s. oh yeah, the movie was so so. |

| Very good ending to a very good series. 8/10. Why didn't they include the confession and rejection of Utaha tho? |

I feel like a lot of people missed this, but S2E4 is where Utaha get's her closure when Tomoya rejects her scenarios. Her asking Tomoya to choose between Meguri & Riri routes was an indirect confession. At the end of the episode, she asks Megumi to play out the Ruri route, which was essentially her recognizing the fact that Megumi is what Tomoya was looking for ultimately. As for Tomoya's love for Utaha, it was heavily implied he loves her more as a celebrity than an actual romantic interest. Kinda sucks for Utaha because she never really got a chance. |

The one he loved was Eriri which was a more of a childhood crush thing if anything and Megumi is suppose to be the one that ends up being perfect for him. Can't possibly tell me that he happens to have romantic interest for 3 girls and just switched between them. Just sounds dumb to me and doesn't seem much like love. imkeijo said: AND I WAS LIKE "OMG THEY ARENT GOING TO ARE THEY?" and then they kissed i started to die inside while i was all happy. in the end it was how i wanted it to be. im so so so so happy right now. I think we all have been traumatized by interrupted kiss scenes so it's always a surprise when they do kiss. Also it wasn't just one kiss but 3 in total! |
