Months later, I still can't believe I paid roughly $20 USD to see this in theatres in Japan. Never in my life have I felt so robbed seeing a movie. And I adore the ARIA series.
They recycled frames like I couldn't believe, the audio mixing was beyond atrocious, the plotting was pathetic, and the "location scouting for a birthday party" montage was 6 entire frames, with every one drawn at a time of day to require no shadows be cast by the characters. Shadows incidentally are missing in almost every shot.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this disaster. JC Staff ought to be ashamed.
