I'm writing this review as someone who is has watched more of the anime than the visual novels.
Even after hearing fan's disappointment on the pacing and crunching of the story, it all made sense. Each dilemma of each character was apt to the looming dilemma to Roselia as a band. Though at the same time, I do empathize that "all finished in 5 seconds" kind of thing that was happening for each character, especially for Sayo, or so I heard that she was a well-written character, for I have read the story of how Yukina was only using Roselia as mere contest participants, and yes,
...
I do agree with the lackluster of time. My acknowledgements may sound bias in a way most people see. Maybe if I had read the entire Roselia stories, I may have placed this at a 6, or if I at least read one of the required VNs, then I would be able to perceive how incomparable they are to the movie. but yet again, I still commend for the writing to walk on thin ice and yet reach the end at an elegant time. It managed to create its own set of rules on its own from a newer base, and it redeemed itself for a brazen move. This was still the best kind of story that the anime versions offers for the audience-type. In fact, I have enjoyed this more than any of the conflicts from Season 1-3.
While I'm at this point of writing the review, as I may never write a review on a Bandori show again, the dialogue generally needs a bit more diversity. It's funny because when some of the characters in the show compassion, sincerity, or open to one another, it feels like I'm reading an essay where the author reads to oneself. Nevertheless, I totally see this being improved in the movie.
If Sayo is an incredibly written character as many says she is once I read it, then I might give it an 11/10.
