It is as expected of a Makoto Shinkai movie, very good art and sounds were amazing.
Watching this movie after Kimi no Nawa is not a letdown by any means.
The music is of RADWIMPS, and they haven't disappointed with my person favourite bring We'll Be Okay.
Every single scene from the movie is wallpaper worthy.

However you can find many similarities in the pros and cons of Your Name and this movie. As in Your Name, the ending of the story was just a big question mark even though it is a happy ending.

I would rate it a 10/10 for art and music but the storyline and ... the lack of depth in characters just bring the rating down.

The best thing to take away from this movie was the wallpapers and it's music and the songs will be on repeat on my playlist for a long time.
7/10

Your enjoyment of this OVA will largely depend on what you would be expecting coming into the OVA. If you wanted more of Kaori like me, sadly you aren't going to get it. If that wasn't the case, I thought it would be clearing up backstories in the series but it didn't seem to do that as well.
Just showing a short part of what the life for the the rivals of Kousei competing against him was, for me, not good enough for the plot of the OVA which had gained quite popularity before being released. Coming into the ... OVA, the plot and the story just isn't what the viewers will expect watching the OVA.
However, as in all of the episodes of Your Lie In April, the OST and the music delivered as it always has and made the viewing experience really satisfying.
Overall, I wouldn't say it was an anime that you shouldn't watch because it's that bad, but I wouldn't say it delivered to the expectations of the viewers.
