God, this film is frustrating.

The very best scenes and moments of the entire Sound! Euphonium series take place in this film, and yet I’m disappointed after watching this, why? Because to get to those incredible moments we had to rush towards them faster than The Promised Neverland S2 rushed towards its ending.

The very first 24 minutes of this were perfect, and I genuinely was confused as to why this was rated lower than the rest of the series, but after the beginning we are bombarded with too much content, new characters, and development for a single movie to cover. Every single conflict in between the ... start of this film and the end of it is given about ten minutes to be introduced, shown, and then concluded, and it’s so frustrating. Because you just know that Kyoani can make a much better product than this if it was a season, cause each conflict they introduce I almost immediately get invested in, yet just as fast as I get invested we are thrown straight away towards a new conflict and a new character. Hell there are even characters that get introduced with problems that get figured out OFF-SCREEN?! What the hell.

It’s so frustrating, because as the same time this terribly paced runaway train we are given the very best performance piece I have ever heard from this series that it made me cry.

In the end it’s a 6 out of 10 film with scenes that are an 11 out of 10.
And the only reason why I’m not even more pissed off, is because if this was a season, the Liz and the Blue Bird film would probably not exist.
