| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty much a recap of the first series. However, they did include one of the most memorable parts which is the Kumiko and Reina mountain hiking scene with Reina in her gorgeous white dress. They also had the end of the series performance too. The music is fairly decent. I think the movie had slightly better quality than the original series, can't wait for season 2 to start in Fall! |
 |
| The visual is very beautiful, and this film, in one word, is simply EPIC 10/10 Umaku naritai, Umaku naritai... Reina with that dress in the mountain... is a confession of love... Wahhhhhh, ∞/10 |
 |
| Nice refresher to watch before the second season. |
 |
| They cut out Asuka's antics, no point watching this. |
| The closer you come to the light, the greater your shadow. |
| Great movie, even if it was just a recap The final performance was pretty good  |
 |
| Pretty good recap and nice timing to refresh even not as a full picture. I'll most likely rewatch the whole thing later. The SunFes part was the most interesting, probably because it was new. Like the "remix" of the opening song in the end, now need to download it =/ Ethikx said: They cut out Asuka's antics, no point watching this. Yep that was the most dissapointing thing, so many great moments with her and they put only 1 ... |
 |
| The orchestral remix of season 1 OP was something else haha. |
 |
| SO AWESOME that they extended the Rydeen march scene! That was my favourite moment of the season. |
 |
| A complete recap But with those musics... I think I can enjoy watching this again and again xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Just like everyone says they left out a lot of best scenes from the BEST GIRL Asuka. From the perspective of someone who watched the original series movie feels very rushed. Longer SunFest and re-record voice acting for some scenes was good. At least they didn't skip much Kumiko&Reina scenes and we could see our ship. In any case, nicely done but I think those who watch this and not the whole season will miss out a lot because it is an amazing series. |

| I dunno why people are so surprised about that the movie was a recap. I mean if you stay update with anime news it were told that this were only gonna be a recap and all new material movie. We all knew it, so I dunno why people are that disappointed. Personally, I loved the movie. I think even if it were a recap they did a great job. The most important scenes from the first season were included. Amazing scenes with our favorite yuri couple, Reina x Kumiko, was shown. I see that a lot of people are pissed about that Asuka didn't get a lot screen time, but come on people. We all know this show is shown from Kumiko's point of view, so it's obvious Reina is the one who will get most of the scenes. I believe even in the main series Asuka is only a supporting character so it obviously she won't be shown so much in a short movie like this. It's not like I hate Asuka. She is a great and funny character. But if you were the one to make a short movie out of 13 ep. series, ofc you would focus more on Kumiko and her closest friend, Reina. It's obvious you wouldn't use too much time on a side character. Overall I think they did a good job with this movie. Maybe it's only me that enjoyed this movie more than I should. LOL |

| The Art <3 <3 The change in voices though, sometimes they're good but sometimes meeeeh.. And Kousaka Reina, best girl <3 |
| Amazing movie, albeit being a recap in its entirety. Season 1 was my favourite of the two and this movie nailed the emotional moments, so it's a great watch from my records! Reina's proposal of "love", SunFest, the auditions, Kumiko's realization and awakening, and the brilliant performance to end it off with, what a re-journey this has been for me. Of course it's only "very good" as far as recap movies go, that is. Certainly a lot cut out at the start and some priceless Sapphire & Asuka's antics too so that's undoubtedly my biggest let-down like many others but I kind of expected this in advance so not too bothered by it. God, as if the Animation Quality wasn't breathtaking enough in the tv series alone! Fantastic, that's Movie Quality greatness right there! Absolutely awed by some of the incredible shots throughout the course of the movie, hats off to KyoAni! Going to watch the 2nd recap movie (more of Natsuki-senpai I'm sure, so hyped for that) and then jump into the 3rd so there's going to be good times ahead for me, that's for sure! ;) |

| I can see from other comments that Asuka didn't had a lot of screentime but I guess she gets her spotlight in the second movie. Well I have to say nice recap of the first season to watch before the newer seasons. Even though some good scenes were cut (which is expected from a recap), still great to see some beautiful scenes here |
 |
| Quite good as far as recap movies go, but of course it doesn't even get close to the actual series in terms of content and depth. Things like more exposition of what actually happened with the third-years and how Kaori-senpai and the others went through so much are of course only barely covered. But quite a nice recap, overall. It was refreshing to hear the music of this series again. 7/10! |

Don't watch this movie if you've already watched S1. This movie is good for those who want to recollect their memories about the story. I would suggest this movie to those who haven't watched S1 yet. |
| I went into this movie knowing it was a recap of season 1 and wanted to get a refresher on the series before the 3rd season of Hibike! Eupho released. I was pleasantly surprised by how well made this recap was. It truly felt like a grand movie experience regardless of it being a recap. I'm very happy I watched it, and now have even more ambition to watch the second recap movie. Love this series and the emotion it can get out of me through music, super excited for season 3 in April! |
