Do we know when exactly it'll be airing on Japanese TV? Hopefully if it's not too long after the theatre run then fansubs will be out relatively quickly.

You'd need six seasons, which I don't think is going to happen now that the anime boosts the manga boosts the anime boosts the manga cycle is over.

Cineplex here in Canada says it's showing February 14th, 18th, and 19th. No Dub from what I can see.

I will see it on Valentine's Day, as it seems appropriate.

Only playing once a night for two nights here in NYC, which is too bad. Really wanted to see it but that will be impossible to get the wife and I together at the same time. Hopefully they don't drag sending it to streaming for too long

For anyone thinking about going to catch the movie in the theatre, maybe wait for streaming.

It wasn't bad - still as poignant and as funny as ever - but it didn't really utilize a bigger budget or do anything super-different from the show. The purest definition of "episodes strung together". Perfectly fine seeing on a small screen. Will say that the Japanese voice work has never been better and the VAs stepped up their game big time.

Without spoilers, I will say that there are two super-important arcs happening during the movie's timeline, and the film chooses to focus only on one of them. A very weird choice, but makes me interested for S4 and how they'll tackle it.

The vaguest of vague spoilers for the movie, no specific plot points or manga reveals, but slight structural notes: This is almost exclusively a Kaguya-Shirogane movie, so if you want to see the whole cast used in a big way, you'll be out of luck. The student council are there, but they're backgrounded for a ton of the run time.

Yeah, the movie was still high quality but no real mind blowing segments like we saw in season 3. Each character had at least one moment, but none outside Miyuki/Kaguya were given any real focus. I did enjoy the copious amounts of idiot/child Kaguya and ice queen Kaguya, though. :v:

I suppose, but it made more sense to me as a weekly manga. The first third of the film has moments setting up that they'll get to that other important event, including cutaways to it, and then focused on everything but that.

Not a huge problem, I'll just wait for next season to see how it's addressed. :shrug:

They've split the movie into episodes and the first two are now on crunchyroll. It's a bit difficult to find though because of their terrible interface.

I guess it was chopped up and timed as such to have something that fills the gap between the winter and spring seasons? Does seem bizarre but w/e, personally I'm going to wait for the whole thing to be out before watching.

This would be accurate.

The movie is still really good, but I would actually rate is lower than, say, the last three episodes of Ultraromantic.

Right so I've watched the movie episodes and as somebody who's adored this series from the word go: this movie loving sucks. This whole plot arc loving sucks. Shirogane and Kaguya finally confessed and admitted they love one another. We absolutely did not need this return to the status quo. Just have the goddamn courage to move the story onward with them in a relationship without having to spin the wheels for another eternity for the most arbitrary reasons.

Like I'm sorry, I really was 100% with this series up till now, but this is just terrible and lazy. I can't even enjoy the comedy bits because the premise is so hosed. I recently started reading You and I are Polar Opposites, and I appreciate just how much it's willing to hook the main characters up ASAP and actually explore the facets of that relationship, both good and bad. This Kaguya arc by contrast just feels like more status quo for the sake of status quo even after what should have been a major development that moves the story forward. I ended up skipping through a bunch of it because I have zero goddamn patience for more will-they-wont-they shenanigans after the main couple should have by all accounts already hooked up. I really hope this is not indicative of how the rest of the story is because this was absolutely loving awful.

It's been a while since I read the chapters involved but it is absolutely not a return to the previous status quo. These two idiots got to the part where they confessed their feelings to each other, and this arc is their first steps to figuring out what comes next. Yeah they backslid a bit in the process but it's only upwards from here.

It also sets up Kashiwagi, the intimacy speedrunner, as Kaguya's romance advisor going forward.

This is such a bizarre take I'm questioning whether you watched the wrong thing and didn't realise it.

There is no will-they-wont-they at all in the "movie" the whole thing is that they have, but now they need to define what that actually means. There is no return to status quo here. In a lot of ways it's actually pretty similar to Polar Opposites but just more melodramatic because this is the geniuses' dumb idiots' war of hearts and brains dramatic bullshit.

Proudly not understanding the media I refuse to actually pay attention to.

Imagine watching the first episode open with Kaguya closing a photo album with her wedding ring on and saying "this is just will they won't they again!"

Anyway, this is probably my favoite arc of Kaguya. I love the idea of the immediate follow up the the grand romantic gesture arc being actually that was really unhealthy and also unnecessary, just delaring your love in an empty nondescript park is perfectly acceptable.

The ball of yarn will be on your desk by Friday.
I wouldn't say back to 'complete status quo' but it definitely felt that if you skipped the movie, you would have no problems continuing straight onto the next season.

Movie was okay. A bit too heavy on the 'internal conversation' scenes, and way too little Chika and Ishigami.

Bro, people have got on you about this already, but this is a crazy take. The movie is about them moving their relationship to the mext level. To not just be some high school sweethears who had a kiss, but to two people who acknowledge each other's best and worst sides and decide at the end of the day they still truly love each other.

It's really good lol
