Lovely girls and well shown moments of growing up both in terms of relationship and professionalism. it would have been an ordinary idol show, but the authors wrapped it all up in an action package on the theatrical stage. Unfortunately, in the TV series, all fights except the very first one are very similar, and do not offer any wow moments. I should add that I played a gacha game. there, each heroine has a rather colorful ultimate ability. And I was hoping something like this would happen in the series. but this was only in the first battle.
No matter how much i was ... lured in the series, but I found significant disadvantages in him. This is a slightly lifeless school, with a minimum of showing anyone else besides our eight girls and a small number of rooms in which the everyday life of the heroines is shown. Only the main characters went out for quite a bit of a walk to the Tokyo Tower during the series. A bit of Hikari's training at her former school was also shown. This is not enough in my opinion.
It also seemed to me that there was too much concentration on the problem of the episode, because of which it was not even possible to insert the usual useless slice-of-life scenes.
There were also very few jokes.
3 short special episodes are trying to fix the lack of slice-of-life scenes, and they're doing it admirably. I wish they were in the main title and not a blu ray bonus.
Good idol anime. not the best. 7/10

The most important thing this film does for me is that it corrects all my expressed complaints about the TV series. At the beginning there are a lot of slice-of-life scenes in an unlimited number of new locations and dozens of other students of the academy drawn with the smallest details. I immediately thought of a K-ON the movie or The disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya not only in terms of quality, but also in terms of mood, and a little bit in terms of events.
And then the feast for the eyes began. We are offered almost an hour and a half music video, which I ... swallowed in one breath. There are gorgeous looking scenes with constantly changing scenery and costumes of the heroines. There are beautiful theater songs that are polished to perfection and are far superior to what was in the TV series. There is an exciting staging of battles with impressive tricks. Well, there is of course a continuation and putting an end to the problems between the girls from the main series. Maybe someone will say that this is just a repetition, but I will say that this is a removal and perfection of these topics. I don't need the TV series anymore and I'm not going to ever rewatch it. But the movie is now in my top 20 favourite anime of all time and I will watch it every year. 10/10
