Watched this in theatres today. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.
Story:
6/10
The story was pretty confusing with a lot of holes, but it served its purpose and held the movie together well enough.
Art:
9/10
The visuals were appealing. I particularly liked the contrast between the online world and the real world.
Sound:
9/10
The soundtrack went really well with the visuals, especially in a movie theatre. The sounds reverberating had a nice impact on me as I was watching.
... Character:
7/10
I didn't really like the protagonist, but she had her fair share of character development. The side characters were all pretty entertaining though.
Enjoyment:
8/10
I walked out of the theatre satisfied and thought it was a worthwhile 2 hours. However, I feel like most of the enjoyment came from the movie theatre experience though, with the visuals and soundtrack being the strongest parts.
Overall:
7/10
I would tell others to watch it, but I don't think it's a movie I'd watch again. In comparison to Bakemono no Ko and Wolf Children it was a letdown (two of my favorites), but overall it was good.

So, I have never cried from anime or any movie. I did however, cry when watching Bakemono no Ko (about 4 times). (Update: Idk why I teared up so much tbh, could just be a sign of my maturity)

Story: 8
I really didn't think the story was that great, but it was good enough to be a successful movie. The growth of the characters was probably the best I have seen in an animated movie; you feel happy when the characters are happy. One main thing I didn't like, however, was the fact that when Kyuuta goes to the human realm, the bakemono realm is totally ... neglected. In addition, the final conflict/climax was really predictable, making it a bit dull. Nevertheless, I was touched by the actions of the characters towards the end. Overall, it wasn't an outstanding story but definitely a good one.

Besides the people, the background art was really realistic like it was in Wolf Children. Overall solid art.

Sound: 10
I don't know of an anime with "bad sound" so I always give a 10 in this section. When I was in the theatre while watching this, the explosions and stuff were kind of loud, but that just intensified the experience. I also liked the theme song by Mr. Children, which fit quite well with the story.

Character: 10
I have never ever cried from a character's actions. But even when Kyuuta cheers for Kumatetsu in the beginning I teared up. The student-teacher relationship between Kyuuta and Kumatetsu (always arguing) seems a bit stereotypical, but somehow it was unique as they were able to compete with one another to benefit from each other. Both Kyuuta and Kumatetsu gave up their lonely lives to accommodate each other.

Enjoyment: 9
If you liked Wolf Children, you will probably like this as well. Since it was directed by the same person; the stories are completely different, but have similar feelings attached to them. I can't explain why, but I feel really excited after watching it and it was probably my favorite anime movie. Maybe it is just because I haven't seen any good anime movies since I was like 10, but this movie is really going to stay with me.

Overall: 9
Go watch this movie, I watched it the 4th day it came out and I don't regret it. If an English dub comes out I really suggest watching the Japanese version (subbed) because I have a feeling that the English version will not be able to convey the same emotions that the original did.

I will keep this short and sweet.
This was a funny anime, very short, easy to binge watch.
The story has potential, but it doesn't really go anywhere.
It is very rushed and you did not get attached to the characters.
Overall it was a mediocre anime in which I enjoyed the comedy, but I would not recommend wasting your time on it.

The story actually does not deserve a 10, but each episode had its own individual story that was pretty creative and all-out hilarious. This was probably the funniest anime I've seen, especially the starting scene. The opening song is great and the characters are really likable. This is not a sentimental anime that will make you cry, but just a comedic anime made for laughs. If you just want a funny anime this is my favorite.
Edit: I've rewatched clips of this show over and over again on Youtube and it still never gets old. However, if you aren't immediately into the sort of comedy ... given by the first couple scenes then I suggest dropping it as it won't be as enjoyable for you.
