Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend Fine

Saekano was one of the few harem shows that was actually interesting and well executed. I really loved the first two seasons and was hoping for a 3rd season but instead they decided to just wrap it up in a movie format.

I think the movie definitely delivers on providing a satisfying finale while wrapping up the romance aspect. The animation and art were fantastic, the music was great and the story was simple yet engaging. The post credit scene is also incredibly wild!

The limited runtime of a movie does result in some issues such as some characters, Michiru and Izumi, having minimal screen time and relevance to the plot. Due to the plot having more focus on the romanctic development, the game development process is brushed over quickly which might not be to everyone's liking. My one personal issue is that Utaha doesn't get that one to one resolution with Tomoya. It's weird because Megumi and Eriri do but Utaha doesn't, which is kind of jarring.

Overall, the movie is great! I am super glad that they stuck the landing. It has been fun watching the Blessing Software team and I will always remember this series.
