Absolutely phenomenal.
This anime is a complete story - 2 seasons and a movie (and some specials).
This review pertains to the full show - 2 seasons + movie + specials.
You have to watch all of it for the payoff, but trust me the payoff is absolutely fantastic, and it comes in this movie after season two.
The movie is without a doubt the best romantic anime I have ever watched. (or on par with Kaguya-sama)
It is quite original in my opinion, compared to other romance anime.
How so? Well it actually has plot/focus.
The characters have GOALS - and I mean real goals, whereas in other anime the romance is the goal itself, here is different.
While there are some tropes, with the 2 main girls especially - they will perhaps appear like a thousand other anime girls you have seen before. HOWEVER…

The movie on its own was very enjoyable for me. (excluding the LNs). I feel it tied up the buildup of S1 and S2 very well.
I did feel that the character growth in a few cases was accerated (possibly due to the movie being a condensation of 6 LN volumes).
The coclusion of the romance between the main couple was presented nicely IMO but I am partial to happy endings and clear conlusions.
I was apprehensive when there was "haren" listed under themes. I find those harem animes where the MC doesn't make a choice at the end very unsatisfying for me, but thats personal preference.
While the whole story including S1 and S2 would be a rom-com, the movie is more Rom than com, which is not entirely a bad thing considering it's tying up the loose ends which it does well enough.

The best romance anime I've ever seen. I don't care if anyone disagree with me but I really enjoyed everything from this anime and this movie made me tear up a bit and that's why I make my first review here
Though I gotta say the story in this movie is rushed and doesn't hit hard enough like season 1 and 2 do, but the ending is very satisfying. The visual and arts in this movie is great as usual thanks to Cloverworks Studio for animating this beautiful movie.
Overall, I can't thank Fumiaki Maruto enough for making this exceptional story!
Very recommended to watch!!!

The end story is terrible. Believe the author is forcing the unrealistic loveline between MC and the boring GF while she was not the best girl out of 3 possible romance candidate.
The art style is decent.
Senpai is clearly the best girl and also carries the most influence on MC's character and career development.
MC and the boring GF had no romantic feeing towards one another for an entire 2 seasons. Somehow author force the romance towards the boring heroin in the last arc which is the major let down for its ending.
I believe most people would have love it more should the MC ends up with the Senpai.

If there was anything they could've done wrong, this would be perfect. They plot was mid, the art was nothing special and there was basically no important character development. Going back to seasons 1 and 2 neigther Utaha or Eriri never in a million years would have let Tomoya go. Then suddenly in the movie they just want Tomoya to pick Megumi. This veers so far off of the series that it should be thrown into a sewer and stompped on.
Overall, this is garbage and a waste of the good anime that this once was, its very overated and i cried because suddenly Megumi made up with Tomoya in 5 seconds and they kissed after a huge dissagreement. Plus at the very end when they were adults, Utaha was ugly and Iori looked like a stoner for no reason.
One thing i can praise is the art wich is Decent

This is Gold. [Review of both TV Series and the Movie]
I've watched the tv series and have quite mixed feelings although I still rate it good enough.
I don't really know what to say, I simply amazed by how this movie sums up what I really want by watching "typical RomCom".
The story is light, not too much heavy twist that could blow your mind watching it. I find it interesting by the theme they used. The 'boring and plain' girlfriend that even her presence is unnoticeable is perfectly executed in this series.
The art is good, but I found some inconsistency/ a bit of rush especially in some scenes between the Heroine and the Protagonist. I think these kinds of scenes should be prioritized.
The sound especially in the Season 1 of the TV series is very memorable and enjoyable

If you do not want to spoil the impression of the series, then it is better not to watch this movie. I'll start with the pros: the drawing is not bad, without jambs, but also nothing impressive. That's it, there are no more pluses.
The following genres are listed: Harem, Comedy, Romance, Ecchi, School.
Harem: here we have a denouement, gg admits gg and they have lava-lava, the rest suffer. Everything is like in a third-rate harem, they do not even try to surprise you with anything.
Comedy: even jokes about a hedgehog are funnier, and the smile was caused only by the scene after the credits (yes, this story should have ended), which, unfortunately, turned out to be a fake.
Romance: romance we have here for junior high school students, everything looks so stupid and unnatural that you can th…

SHORT SUMMARY: MAINSTREAM, CRINGEY, ANKWARD BUT I LOVE IT.
*Warning spoilers ahead*
Saekano's story is as mainstream as it gets. You have your typical harem male protagonist where he tries his best to help out all the girls in his harem while also making things work out for him. Then a big conflict arises, characters fight, they make up and he falls in love with a girl in his harem. Its super mainstream and cringey at times but for me that is all part of Saekano's charm. Especially if you're watching it from an otaku's perspective like Tomoya.
What separates Saekano from your average story is its charming characters especially the "Main Heroine", Katou Megumi. Since the start of the series, Megumi never fit into any character stereotype. In fact, she even looks and act like a side cha…

This is a movie, which means it can only holds one plot. And that's may disappoints some people, but the hardcore Otaku fans will enjoy this regardless the fact the main subject isn't about comicet.
Indeed, in this movie we finally get what was missing in the series. And that's all about feelings, for a 3D girl.
The prefect girl, for an Otaku.
The animation and the art was fantastic in all seasons just like in this Movie. The sound and music was great. And we get a group of lovely girls, well writen and designed. I just want to say thank you for all the people who worked on this show. It was an interesting journey for sure.
And finally.
The boring girlfriend, rasied her boring boyfriend.

*SPOILERS*
If you've seen season 2 and you liked it, then you can skip my review, because I'm going to complain about the new direction that saekano took after episode 9.
Now you may be wondering what exactly happened in episode 9 to force me to write a review for the first time in my life. I will cover it briefly since you need to understand why I think the movie is the most mid thing ever, or even worse. So,
while I agree that both Eriri and Utaha needed to be in an environment where they can grow faster and being with Fields Chronicles was the best decision for them, just ditching Tomoya like that was completely out of line. Especially for Utaha, who, following her dere tropes, is supposed to be able to die for her love. Well screw logic, I think the author said.
Which brings us to th…

It was Megumi's route all along?...it always has been.
Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Fine's movie more or less starts us straight after the events of the second season of the anime series with Tomoya's circle continuing with making their game for Winter Comiket whilst Eriri and Utaha has started working on Field Chronicles in a different company. So right off the bat LA will say that the movie has all the trademarks of Saenai Heroine's "meta" storytelling in mirroring the events of Tomoya's writers block in writing the "main heroine's plot' to the romance route to Megumi from everything from the trials and tribulations Tomoya and Megumi encounters.
Character-wise, the movie not only fleshed out the majority of the characters from the second season but made them way more likable character…

First of all: my main language isn't english, so be kind to me.
Let's say this to me, this movie is a great delusion, in this movie we take all we have seen until now and we rip away all the good things.
The sentimental scenes, the comical scenes, the teasing scenes... all removed, the story goes all on a sterile, boring anime on the most boring parts of "how to realize a visual novel...
Nearly 2 hours of movie that if it was half lasted... maybe it would be better.
The only parts of this movie are the beginning but more than anything else the end, in the end we find what we were used to in the series.
I mean this isn't a bad movie it's seeable, but it doesn't go beyond the sufficiency and I have written down this because... I really can't understand all the high votes it has received, r…

You can say I have bad taste in anime or that I'm simply following another persons preference. To be honest, I really don't care. This movie was great and that's all I have to say.
Yes, I'm aware of the things that they could've made way better but in a good anime, there's either an ending that satisfies you, confuses you, or pisses you off. None of these three are bad but that depends on your "taste" in anime. Me personally, it made me really happy. The ending was just perfect (before end credits), and the fact that they came back to where it all started brought tears in my eyes.
Only reason why I didn't give this a 10 is because of the disrespect on Utaha, who's supposedly one of the main characters. Not only was her screen time limited but the lack of her development as one of the m…

Good for music and art still like prequel even when you haven't read or watched the previous series for a long time, it feels like it's still there.
I felt happy when I started watching the film finally came out, I could see the continuation of the story, sadness when Megumi was left by Tomoya but that joy returned when I could see the end of the story
But i don't really like some stories being cut, i know the reason why the story was cut, as someone who has read the light novel, I regret that there are less stories

for the animation, it's so cool. I think the opening was used motion graphic or 3d movement that the first time i see that thing in anime. I love the sound design, left and right is very pronounced.
The story is presented very well, some scenes can be identified without further explanation. the feelings used are also very emotional. sad, annoyed, passionate, happy, everyone can satisfy the heart when watching.
the after story given is also quite good. we can find out how their lives as adults, their circle that has become a company. The intimacy of Tomoya and Megumi which is even more attractive even though I don't know they are married or still dating.
after watching this i feel very satisfied. there has never been an anime or manga that made me like this. thank you to all the staff w…

This is the best as I really expected, because the TV series is also very guaranteed
Really, the story is shocking, very unpredictable in all aspects, I think this is the best I don't know what to say because maybe this is not just good but the work of the gods is very god I saw a slice from Instagram that soon I will be waiting and waiting and finally my friend told me that he had watched me immediately looking for the work of gods, this is no doubt the work of gods
From the visuals and graphics alone it can be seen that this is the work of a god and the movements of the characters are very smooth. The opening is very good. This is a romantic comedy that is so godly that not even gods can match this
I have always been waiting for this movie since this movie has aired in Japanese theate…

First I want to say a big thank you to the producers, development studio, and narrators who created this story, Saekano Movie. I was very happily surprised and my feeling somehow felt that this was a masterpiece that I had been waiting for, yeah, maybe about 3 to 4 years I waited until Saekano Fine finally aired on the screen or maybe your favorite cinema.
The thing that I really like about this Anime is from the first anime series "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" you the audience will be escorted by many scenarios that are fun, soothing, funny, or strange, as well as very deep feelings for the main character in this anime series itself. I will not tell you how the main character struggles in finding his love story, how did all this begin until the end? I will return it to you…

Overall: 7.3 / 10
A closure according to this story so that it does not become one of those adaptations that never get a true epilogue, and one way or another "Saekano" has managed to find a correct epilogue. And to be more precise, I consider that it describes quite well both the format and the concept of the plot in general and the outcome of this program, thus being in general terms a regular / acceptable show.
Let's see, on the one hand, if I was looking forward to the film because I knew it would give the final touch, but the reality is that the anime proposal coming from the designs, the animation and perhaps the theme regarding the creation of video games, does not leave much more, even from season 1.
The plot takes a very evident position from minute one, which suggests that it po…

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, I feel 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 diffe…

I have very complex feelings for this movie. I had high expectations because I love both seasons of the TV anime, and honestly, I think I would have preferred a 3rd season over this movie.
The animation is very good and what one would expect for a movie production, and there are plenty of Easter eggs for you to spot in various scenes.
But I feel that aside from Eriri, all of the other characters aren't given the development and growth they deserve. It's unfortunate that even though Michiru and Izumi get relatively more screen time, their existence isn't very important.
There are both scenes meant to be heartwarming and heart-wrenching, but everything gets rushed along due to the time constraints and the impact isn't as strong as one would hope.
It is an ending to the series, but was it t…
