Just watched the movie in Ikebukuro. The movie is comedy gold. Some random thoughts:

Yamada Tae is definitely legendary, really cute interactions between awakened Tae and Sakura/Junko (The bite scene is too memorable). MAPPA outdid themselves again with the girls expression in every frame. The story is not finished yet, so let's hope it doesn't take that long for the next chapter.

They did a great job with the personality of Tae, it is unique enough so she doesn't repeat any of the other girls trope. Also the show is too absurd you kind of don't mind the introduction of Aliens.

The movie expects you a little to know the back story from the gaiden manga.



Kotaro definitely took the backseat in the movie, probably because he will be the main character for the next arc, if it ever happens.

Overall it was a fun watch.

I saw it yesterday and agree with what you said. Though I thought it kind of became another kind of movie in that huge middle chunk. There was nothing story wise or anything that I have a problem with but
I would have preferred it was more like the first and last parts of the movie (more like the anime).
But I'm glad I saw it. Love this series.

Oh I didn't know about the gaiden manga!

Also glad to hear there's more story

I loved to see Tae talking.
I feared that the production would make her a know all, but no she was a legendary nice character.
Everyone had their moment to shine. Like season 2 but greater.
As movie had happy ending, as franchise I can't say that. I shed tears.

This anime is set in my hometown, so I can't help but support it, and there's no way it could be a bad show.

I'm visiting Saga right now, and what better way to spend my time here than watching the movie at the 109 Cinema in Mallage Saga, which did in fact appear in the movie too (Junko and Ai were in that mall when
). It was fun spotting the real life locations in the movie after having visited them in person the past 2 days.

I haven't actually watched the second season yet, but thankfully the entire story so far was summarized at the start. I went in with zero clue of the premise and plot - if sentient zombies exist in this world, I really shouldn't be surprised when
. Definitely saw some references to movie classics like
so that was fun too.

Nothing more to add except to give a shoutout to THE LEGENDARY YAMADA TAE.

LEGENDARY YAMADA TAE.

YAMADA TAE.
