No spoilers. I saw the only review was a non-fan of the series so I thought I'd give something that might be more useful to those looking for opinions.

The movie was okay. It gives you the closure you're wanting for each of the five girls, and leads into that closure with a heaping pile of the drama you know and love from the series.

It's because of this that it's so unfortunate that it was a little bloated. It know it's adapting the final few chapters from the manga, so it's hard to say where the blame lies, but it feels like it spends a bit too much time getting where it needs to go at times it felt like it was stalling just for the sake of it. I think if this stuff all happened in a regular episode I wouldn't bat an eye, but sitting down for a movie, you sort of hope for a more focused, polished experience, and they missed the mark a little on that.

That's not to say I didn't enjoy the movie. As a fan of the series I was happy with how the ending was handled (even if my top girls didn't come out on top :c). It has some great moments that let the characters shine, which is why I loved the series in the first place, but I don't think it hit the heights of the second season for me.

Basically, if you like the show, you'll be happy you saw this and experienced the end, but don't expect anything too crazy.

Also for those of you wondering, Uesugi does make his choice with some time left in the movie, so you do get a sort of epilogue for how everyone deals with his choice, and he does pick one girl, no cop outs here. Even if he didn't pick the one I wanted, I think they did a good job of selling why he picked the one he did.

Based on the well-known manga series, "The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie" is a romantic comedy about familial ties. The film, which was directed by Kaori, tells the tale of Fuutarou Uesugi and the Nakano quintuplets as they negotiate romantic relationships and sibling rivalry. The film embodies the essence of the adored manga, showcasing the quintuplets' distinct personalities through endearing acting and a striking aesthetic. The connection between the cast members-especially the gifted actresses-gives the characters more nuance and raises the story's overall enjoyment factor. "The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie" is a charming and approachable romantic comedy that perfectly captures the spirit of adolescent love and the delight of realizing one's own emotions.

I have zero knowledge about the series and after watching this in theaters, I will never bother to check it out. This was only made for weebs and horny teenage boys who want to fantasize about multiple unrealistic anime girls being obsessed with them. The 13 year old boy brigade that invaded the row in front of me couldn't stop making groping gestures at the screen and jerk off motions to each other throughout. I was literally embarrassed to be sitting and watching this. Storywise, it was one of the hardest anime movies I've ever tried to follow. Lots of exposition that felt neither romantic or heartfelt. Just excuses to be in love with the same man that meant next to nothing. Misogynistic would be the word that comes to mind when I was watching this, throughout the entire runtime. And worst of all, it was completely BORING!!!! There was absolutely no need for this to be OVER 2 HOURS LONG!!! I honestly cannot believe they released this in American theaters, and I further cannot believe I sat through it all hoping it would get better or have any point to make. Spoiler Alert, it doesn't. I mean, I thought Disney was the ones trying to groom kids with their latest venture, but this is indefinitely worse. Unless you're a fan of the series(not sure if it's comparable or not, never seen it and never will) or a horny 13 year old, I could not recommend more that you stay away from this piece of trash.

Ah harem anime. It's becomes a staple of anime. A genre like science fiction, comedy or action and like every genre you need something different to stand out. The Quintessential Quintuplets is one but unlike other harems where we wonder who the main character is going to end with, we know or main character will marry one of them. After two seasons, I thought we'd get a three season and more but instead we got a movie to wrap it up. I was a little skeptical at first but this one of one greatest anime movies from a series I've seen and I going to tell you WITHOUT ANY SPOILERS! This is my spoiler free review of The Quintessential Quintuplets movie

The plot is this. Following their summer vacation, Futaro Uesugi and the Nakano quintuplets Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki, now third-year high school students, prepare for the upcoming school festival. On the day of the festival, Futaro invites the quintuplets to a room and confesses his love to them, but he tells them to wait until the end of the festival to know whom he has chosen among them. Each girl will get at least 15 minute segment. Showing a problem for each one and how they and Futaro solved it. In awhile this makes the movie the three season. It does get a little confusing at time but oh the pay off

So you can probably think that's all the movie is going to be but no. We see the girls past chase up to them in a way no one thought would happen but it does answer a big question I believe many where asking. Not to mention we finally see who Futaro picked and in all honesty I was absolutely surprised. I'm not going to tell you because this a spoiler free review but if you like me you'd be amazed. For the longest time, it looked like they were setting him up with one particular girl. That's not what happened and I loved that. It shows that just because you think it going the way you want doesn't mean it will. Still I'm happy for his pick and I have no doubt they will be happy together

Now I called this one of the greatest anime movies from a series I've seen. You are probably wondering why I said. Allow me to explain. Most anime movies based on series in my experience have tried to make some that wasn't close to the mark or tried to make something artsy. Ruining the film and quite possibly the show in general. For explain the Tenchi Muyo movies. The first was set in the Tenchi Universe world which is fine but most of time tried to something that's it's not. It still had action but only in the last 15 minutes

The second was just a Christmas special basically. I do like the background music and music in general but honestly that's probably the only thing going for it

The third movie you couldn't ven call a Tenchi movie. Just a whole different series with a movie. They just put Tenchi characters in. The art style was very nice. Down right beautiful. However that alone can't carry a movie. You need a story and this story is pretty weak

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying those were the worst. I'm just saying that I didn't find those stories particularly good. To each their own. However The Quintessential Quintuplets movie hits all the right spots to make it interesting while you ask who is Futaro going to pick. I know a lot of people are going to be either upset, sad or happy with who he picks but funny enough that's life. We often want this person to be with that person or we see things going this way rather than this way. Thing is we can't control others emotions. Just our own. You are either going to happy with his pick or upset. In the end I'm happy for him and his pick. This does make me wonder how this will affect the new anime they announced but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. If you want to see The Quintessential Quintuplets movie, it's on Crunchyroll. I recommend you watch after watching or for many people rewatching the anime. It helps. I hope you enjoyed this review.

As someone who's been invested in the series from the start, I was nervous about the ending, but oh man, did they nail it. Fuutarou choosing the right girl had me screaming 'FINALLY!' - she's the one who truly got him from day one and supported him every step of the way. I loved how the movie wrapped up all the character arcs and plot threads, it was so satisfying. The animation was gorgeous, the music was perfect, and the voice acting was top-notch. I'm so glad I got to experience this series from start to finish. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. Trust me, you won't regret it. 10/10, would watch again and again.
