"Love Live! The School Idol Movie" is not only the best anime movie I've seen in years, it's simply the BEST movie I've seen in years and is, very thankfully, the movie that the loyal Love Live fan base rightfully deserved. Honestly there isn't much to say about this movie, it plays out like a collage of everything that made Love Live the beloved series it is and adds a deeper, more philosophical spin on it all. Rare is the event that I would recommend a movie even to somebody who hasn't seen the parent anime series but this may be such an event. The LoveLive movie is every bit as musical as the rest of the franchise with the girls spontaneously breaking out in song and dance. Every little character quirk returns and we get to see M's travel abroad(personally this is the highlight of the movie). Recapping the moral of the entire franchise, the movie tells a story of friendship and perseverance. A story achieved together.
