The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie

This is one of the more blatant self-insert escapism fantasy movies. Imagine being a tutor to 5 beautiful girls, and all of them want to be your girlfriend. That is the premise of "The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie". I haven't seen the TV series or read the manga that this movie is based on. I am judging this purely as a stand-alone film. Surely, I would have gotten to know the characters better through the series and been able to tell the 5 siblings apart, but the movie does a fine enough job introducing all of them. Overall, I ended up really enjoying this escapism fantasy, it spoke to me as a lonely loser. Maybe one day five beautiful ladies will fight over me.

Great movie, it definitely wasn't what I expected but it was satisfying nonetheless. If you like the anime then you owe it to yourself to see the series conclusion. I walked in saying that if it didn't turn out the way I wanted it I would be disappointed, but the fact that I enjoyed it speaks to the quality of the movie as a whole. It has some touching moments and despite it being on the longer side it went by a little faster than I wanted it to.

I haven't gone to the movies in years, but this is a trip I don't regret making and I'll be buying the DVD when it releases.

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.

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.

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.
