A lot happens, and nothing at all gets explained. The only things I know for certain is that there was no budget whatsoever and that no one in this show is straight.
I'm fairly certain this is meant for people who are already very familiar with the characters and the world. This felt like a summary of a bunch of different storylines bunched together. And then it just ends on the villain scheming in his nazi-themed lair.
I did enjoy the performances, they're low budget and swap between 2D and 3D, have the same sparkle and bubble effect going on for 80% of the show, and are absolutely insane in every way possible.
Very enjoyable, and also incredibly confusing. I can't wait to check out the anime and other movies.

i mean, i watched this back when it was released. but i can't help but leave a review on it even now after four years bahah. i have rewatched all of the pretty rhythm series several times, especially aurora dream since i grew up with them and they'll always have a special place in my heart. and basically i was so excited for having something more of pretty rhythm- and this movie disappointed me SO much it was frustrating. it's not a bad movie overall, but if you take in consideration the actual pretty rhythm series and their plot. and the way the gap of the movie and the anime is whole three years and they had all the time to improvise- how could they have done it even worse? it was just a whole let down hhhh barely finished it tbh

I'll say this as an avid pretty rhythm fan: If you don't watch Pretty Rhythm, Rainbow Live NONE of the characters,the idol world, or plot will make sense to you because this movie takes place after it.
There are 3 Pretty Rhythm series out there. Chronologically, they start with PR Aurora Dream, PR Dear my Future, and finally PR Rainbow Live. Rainbow Live is in an alternate setting with new characters while Dear my Future is the (trashy) sequel to Aurora Dream. They are all idol anime for younger girls based off of a rhythm game in arcades and follow various "prism stars" in their struggle to become better. If you want to fully understand this movie, I'd say start with PR Aurora Dream (you don't have to but you will understand how prism shows work more if you do), skip Dear my Future beca…

King of Rhythm is honestly so amazing I had to watch it a second time. If you love so bad its good anime you will love this mess of a movie.
story- There is no plot except for a random backstory of some of the side characters in the middle of the film which is told at twice the pace of the rest. Nothing makes sense, they wear ice skates while dancing for no reason. I was left constantly confused but also in tears.
Art- the dancing sequences look like old vocaloid dances. This anime uses a wild amount of sparkles to distract us except... theyre always the exact same sparkles. It looks like a filter.
Character- The main character may as well not exist, they have no personality. The other characters are made out of tropes.
Enjoyment- 10/10 would watch again
Its so all over the place and I…

If you enjoy Yaoi/Otome fanservice, pretty boys, cheesy over-the-top humor, or just enjoy a good musical with dancing (primarily ice-skating dances), you would probably love this.
I must say that this movie is definitely not for everyone. If you are watching and hoping for a deep and dramatic thriller of a story, this is definitely not a strong point of the movie. It is primarily musical, fanservice, silliness, and the happiness of friendship and sparkles. Not much drama aside from two of the guys' pasts, saying goodbye, and possible foreshadowing of the sequel.
Now, even though the story itself is weak, that does not mean it is without feeling. It does get a bit emotional later in the movie. There are also obvious implications of there being a planned sequel at the ending, which could…
