"I've been eagerly awaiting the home release since February 21st, as I don't live in the USA. Finally watching it now, it actually proves to be a perfect sequel to the 'Rascal Doesn't Dream' series. The storyline is somewhat simplified, leaving questions about the existence of the 'knapsack kid' (likely Mai) unanswered with minimal screen time. As promised by the title and trailer, I expected more screen time for 'loli Mai'. Additionally, expanding on the moments when Sakuta is absent would have added depth.

Btw I wonder why you opted for three-part movies instead of a second season?"
