Some people don't really like the tiny hats, but I usually do. But not those tiny baseball caps. I feel like the tiny hat version of everything is going to look super dated in the latter half of the next decade. It's going to be a distinctive mark of a 2010's anime.

So here's my thoughts on the movie, non-spoilery stuff first and then stuff that I guess no one but zep will read for a while at the end. Also I don't speak Japanese and my Korean reading speed/comprehension is bad, so there's probably a lot of small details that I either misunderstood or missed entirely, but everything I got out of the movie lined up with the spoilery plot summaries I read after seeing the movie yesterday. One thing that really stood out to me was that the CG in LL really has come a long way, especially with a movie budget. I've never been a big fan of it, but there were a lot of places during the insert songs where I thought it actually looked really good. Also I liked all of the songs and the movie had some very nice outfits, and they all seemed like they will translate well into an IRL stage, so 5th live should be real good. Non-plot related thoughts (minor spoilers): - Every Yohane gag was great, also her fangirls are the best new school characters. - The Saint Snow song was awesome and is the stage I will be most looking forward to for 5th live. - I hadn't watched the opening sequence on youtube before seeing the movie, and lol it's basically a giant tourism ad for Numazu/Uchiura? (Not that that's a bad thing though, and I liked the song) - IMO every member got a fair amount of screen time (and it all fit thematically with how S2 ended) except for Hanamaru Plot stuff (major spoilers) - All of the Saint Snow stuff was a great continuation of the Hakodate arc from S2. With the way it was going I was kind of expecting a Leah + 1st Years Saint Aqours Snow song for real this time, so too bad we still don't have one? - I definitely liked the way they handled everything w/how the other 6 moved on from having the 3rd years graduate. I'm glad that they went with the "the 6 of us are still Aqours" route compared to how they did it with u's. I didn't really feel like any of the 3rd years needed any more closure after S2, but the stuff with Mari/Mari's mom was fine. Ruby being the one to recognize that Leah needed to move on too, and not just transfer to Aqours' school was also a real nice touch, and it does make a lot of sense that there wasn't a mixed Saint Aqours Snow song because of that. And Chika continues to be a great protagonist. - Tsuki was fine I guess, but I don't really have any thoughts about her at all? But I think this is probably a result of not being able to understand a lot of the small dialogue details. - The long pause after "6" when they count before the final song killed me. - But seriously though, why did Hanamaru not have any purpose in the movie other than to eat food in the background???

Basic thoughts on the movie that only astro can really read, I'll probably make more posts after the movie officially comes out in February and I've been able to rewatch it. As with astro, I pretty much tried to avoid all spoilers, so I didn't watch any of the YouTube videos or whatnot before the movie. astro told me the CG was super good, and I agree, at some points it was so loving natural that I really couldn't tell if I was watching CG or animation in some songs, they just meshed together so well. I wasn't really thinking about going to Japan again this year, but now, if there's another lottery, I'm 100% in. Everything is spoilers so from here on is dangerous territory. My only issue with the OG Love Live movie was that it was, at most points, a Honoka movie featuring the other members of Muse. The whole plot pretty much revolves around her, especially with regards to Time-travelling Ghost Alternate Reality Adult Honoka, and while you get stuff like everyone coming to the same conclusion, the one whose journey you see to reach that conclusion is Honoka alone. So Over the Rainbow is a major upgrade in that particular aspect, where it's not the Chika one-man show, and where it's not even solely an Aqours movie due to the prominence of the Leah and Sarah subplot. In fact, it's the 1st years who I feel are a large part of the focus of the story; if the 3rd years are the driving force that kick things off, the 1st years are the ones who strive to take matters into their own hands, as we see in Italy. Ruby is the real winner of the movie, largely thanks to her character growth in Hakodate. It's amazing how far she's come as a character, given that she was pretty much just sorta there for pretty much all of S1 and like 3/4 of S2. She's the one who speaks up and voices the 1st year's wish to find the venue for their performance, and she's the one uniquely equipped with the insight into Leah's situation. And it's sorta fitting, cause with the movie taking place after Dia's graduation, the movie is partly about Ruby graduating from her dependence on her sister and becoming her own person. Yoshiko also gets plenty of focus as the main comic relief of the movie. Which isn't really that plot relevant, but she ensures that there's never really a dull moment throughout the movie, especially when she has to confront her real life fans of her streams. It's a nice variation on her gimmick that hasn't been done in the anime before, so it's not like the movie's just rehashing old jokes. Her short stint into Sadly, Hanamaru doesn't really get much to do, as astro points out. She's pretty much been static since S2 as the eating girl. Leah gets a lot of focus, and I really feel for her cause at least the 1st years and 2nd years have each other, but Leah is legit by herself in the school idol game for her school since it was just her and her sister. Even Chika had You with her when starting out. Though she's developed after the events of AWAKEN THE POWER (gently caress YOU DON'T TELL ME TO AWAKEN THE POWER), this solitude and her guilt over her tripping up, mixed with the fact that she and her sister never fully got closure (Sarah never getting to tell Leah how she felt), causes her a lot of grief. I really like the way her plot was handled, completed with Ruby rejecting the option of Leah coming to Aqours because that wouldn't have really resolved anything. The bit where Sarah points out how the third years were responsible for the majority of Aqour's success is pretty funny because Ainya is legit considered the best singer in the group. It also reminds me of OG LL, where A-RISE points out that Muse have so many highly talented members. The scales are a lot smaller than they were in the OG LL movie (hey let's sing in loving TIMES SQUARE and get a literal army of school idols to all sing one song together), but they're a lot more personal instead. Instead of introducing the world to something, it's about proving to people close by that school idols are good. The song in Italy is just a guerrilla performance, the showdown before Aqours and Saint Snow is (initially) viewed by only Tsuki and Chika's three friends before Tsuki decides to become the first idol music video pirate, and the final performance of the movie takes place as a school event, as opposed to the grandeur of BokuHika. I can't believe it took me till like, the final segment of the movie to realize this, but there's a parallel between Mari's mom and the PTA of the new school. Parents who think they know what's best for their kids and don't believe in the power of school idols. loving 학부모, am I right?????? Of course, both conflicts are pretty easily resolved, as they were never really the major focus. As if Mari was really gonna get married. Also, it's a nice twist that Mari's dad, the unseen figure who we're initially led to believe is the frontman for the school closing in S2, is actually the more lenient parent and the one who wanted to let Mari do as she wanted. Also Mari's mom referring to Kanan and Dia as HAGU and DESUWA is funny as poo poo. It's up there among the funniest scenes in the movie. The great thing about the movie being in Italy is that I don't care if they mispronounce Italian cause I don't know that language. Yay Italy! The Saint Snow song is probably my favorite song of the movie; the music and imagery is loving amazing. The other songs were good too, but it's sorta hard trying to read lyrics in Korean while watching the animation cause I'm used to being able to rewind and rewatching song segments. So I'll hafta wait till the movie officially comes out in February to think more about them. That said, I don't really think there was a song that gave me this whole FEELS moment like BokuHika did in the OG LL movie, where the lyrics, animation, choreography, symbolism, and so on all came together to create this incredibly moving spectacle. Though to be fair, we had WATER BLUE NEW WORLD in S2 and honestly? I consider that to be pretty much close to BokuHika level in terms of how I felt when watching it for the first time. Plus, the effects for the final song were so good, I legit expected it to be just a 6-member song and then the 3rd years coming in just floored me. Also the second last Aqours song where the 1st years and 2nd years change their outfits partway while the 3rd years remain in the starting outfit was also a great moment. Tsuki as a character is just there, she's like a mini-You who also happens to conveniently know Italian cause why not, and also to do the whole "IS YOU TALKING TO A BOY??????" fakeout. Which leads to one of the funniest scenes in the movie anyways so it's all good. Ruby, Hanamaru, and Yoshiko getting their catchphrase mixed up was some hilarious poo poo, I was watching the words come out of their mouths and thought it was an error for a split second before realizing it was the point. Probably more words I wanna vomit out but that's enough for now.

3rd Live Bluray sneak peek video was put up on youtube today. I haven't seen the 3rd Live performance yet, but the Suzuki Aina solo caught my attention. No real dancing or moving while singing. Just her at the mic stand and she looks super comfortable like she owns the stage. I kinda want to see a true live version of it rather than the post-produced Bluray version. Can't wait to check out the full version next month.
