I waited a few months after finishing the second season of sunshine to watch this, and to be honest I didn't really like show part of sunshine. I watched it right after school idol project, and it just felt like an exact carbon copy with slightly different characters and circumstances, and I got a little tired of the forced overdramatic scenes.

Coming back and watching this movie, I realize that's what made this series good in the first place. The drama is overdramatized and the "touching" moments are so cliche and stupid you could laugh, but honestly I still love it. It's not well written, but despite that it still manages to be fun. This series still has some actually amazing music though, and the animation is surprisingly good too.

Overall, this is basically just a trashy high school drama, but I still love it.

As expected, i loved this movie just as much as the show ^_^ The only thing i didn't like is that it seemed a bit unfocused. The whole 'Mari has to marry someone because her mom arranged it' plot is just dropped after Hop? Stop? Nonstop! when Mari's mother walks away and isn't seen until near the end again. I guess she decided to not arrange Mari's marriage but i don't remember her saying she changed her mind... But besides that i still enjoyed it! I also love Saint Snow's new song!

When I first learned that this movie was coming after the end of the series,I was really amazed,although I didn't see the movie in the theater.But when Funimation announced the released date for it,I was able to order it,and managed to get it.I really enjoyed the movie,and it was totally different since the show,and the music plus the outfits was truly spectacular.Favorite characters I liked are,Chika,Riko,Yoshiko,and Mari. I think between the first movie,and this one does teach us and shows us we all must face a turning point in our lives.It's very important to never forget all the great time we spend together. And it's also important to carry those feelings in our hearts. And if we are singers,and someone leaves,we must carry on,and imagine they are with us. So however,this movie is number one,and I think you will enjoy it,so if you seen the series,then see this movie.You'll love it.
