Review of Saekano the Movie: Finale

Saw this movie today at a fan screening and I was not disappointed. In fact, I liked it enough to spend my first review writing about it. If I were to describe this movie in a few words, it'd be sweet and satisfying. The heavy focus on romance is what made it so much more satisfying to watch than the previous 2 seasons. The animation, as expected, was great. Clean and high quality, a slight step above its already well-animated prequels. Comedic scenes were also scattered throughout the movie and funny to watch. The story was well-executed. Although this anime is known for its melodrama, Ifeel that the plot was nothing too extravagant. The romantic development was simple and clear cut. I really liked the empathy and understanding between the MC and best girl, which gave a really different form of romantic entertainment unlike the usual misunderstandings in romance anime.

All in all, it was immensely satisfying to watch its conclusive ending. If you've watched the preceding 2 seasons, I'd highly recommend that you watch this movie. I'd personally gave it an 8.5, but I'm sure it'd definitely be worth a watch for anyone else. Oh and remember to stay after the credits!
