Every now and then I will be so excited about something coming out only to be let down by the adaptation. After not knowing what to expect from the Bunny Girl anime going into it initially, like most i thought fan service, I was blown away by the show and everything about it, only wanting to delve deeper into the story. As someone who had knowledge of what was going to happen going into the theater last night to watch the movie. I was skeptical that it wouldn't live up to what I wanted. Lets just say my skepticism was way off the mark. Clover ... Works has outdone what they did in the anime with this spectacular piece of art. It perfectly portrays what I wanted to see on screen.

Story - Hard 10

The story leading into the movie was one of the most engaging stories i had ever watched on screen and the movie was no different. I laughed, i cried, i felt tings in my chest and i felt it ever time Mai stomped on his foot. This part of the story delves deeper into the love side being the two mains in this are his first love and the person he wants to spend forever with. You empathize with each character and even the girls who are not the mains in this story get their fair share of screen time and you truly feel what they feel throughout the entire film. There are obviously some cliche moments, but there is hardly a love story anymore that doesn't have them. Overall this is exactly what i wanted to see adapted from the light novel.

Art - Beautiful as always 10

Clover works did an amazing job in the initial series and it is no different in this one. The consistency throughout the entire movie is something you can really appreciate and the beautiful scenery moments with the sea and each girl, done perfectly. Even though it is your normal run of the mill city, it still draws you in and makes you want to walk to school in the morning with Mai and Sakuta.

Sound - What it needed to be 10

If i had to pick something to change it would be this. The initial theme song for the show was one of the greats OP from last year. There was no OP for this movie and they used the same ending from the Anime. However, the songs used during the film itself were molded to perfection, the emotions felt from the music mixed with what I was seeing on screen were strong, yet not overbearing. Sound is something you notice but shouldn't necessarily stand out in a film like this one and it fit very, very well.

Characters - Perfection 10

The characters were the best part of the anime and this remains true in every since of the word, for the movie. Sometimes between anime and OVAs/movies, you see personality traits differ or people acting out of character. Here, every character is portrayed exactly as they should be and we get to see new sides to the three mains. The emotional connection between Sakuta, Mai and Shoko makes this movie flow incredibly well. Slight Spoiler: If you know the show and the story, you know that they frequently go between old Shoko and young Shoko, this is done seamlessly and never seems out of place. Every character remains true to themselves keeping the interactions authentic and moving. I wouldn't change a thing.

Enjoyment - Is there any question 10

As you may have surmised from the above comments, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The movie is not only a great sequal, but it could easily stand alone as one of the greatest of all time, in terms of Rom-Com. Honestly though how can you not enjoy something like Mai-san being on the big screen.

Overall - Perfection 10

As i said before it makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you feel emotions you probably haven't felt in a while. While it does have a much darker tone the the anime, it didn't feel that way as the movie went on. The mixture of comedy and sadness was done to perfection and made it flow seamlessly. The movie was an hour and 40 minutes and it felt like it was only 20. I was so engaged in what i was watching that I didn't care that i had to get up and go to work the next morning. It draws you in, takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride that most would enjoy to the fullest and then leaves you with a very, very good taste in your mouth. I recommend this to anyone. Same for the anime itself.

I consider myself diverse in what i have watched in my anime life. This, is simply amazing.

The cover art and the synopsis do not fully explain what is happening here. This Anime has hit the top of my list and it is going to be really hard to knock it off.

Story:

The story is great, incredibly intriguing and as far as I am concerned. I have never seen a primes quite like this one. It is not your typical romantic comedy as these two become very close very quickly. The struggles they go through are realistic ones for the most part and it sheds a really ... good light on the modern day struggles that a lot of kids that age have to go through. It's some fantasy and romance combined into one but what really makes it so good is the relationship between the two main characters.

Characters:

The two main characters are perfect for the two roles. The faults they do have are covered up by how incredibly clever they both are and the interactions between the two are absolute gold. Every interaction between pretty much every single character in this show is amazing. It fits perfectly.

Dialogue:

The dialogue is absolutely the best part of this anime. All the characters seem to be incredibly clever and none are afraid to say exactly what they are thinking. It is on the level of what you would see in Monogatari without all of the choppiness. The writing so incredibly intriguing that the most obsolete interactions between characters are made interesting or funny and even if you are a great reader of subtitles, you will inevitably have to rewind to make sure you got exactly what they said down. Its all pure Gold, that's all i can say.

Art:

Nothing incredibly special with the art, although it is good and perfect for the show. Nothing really stands out. The only real problem with the visuals is some of the dialogue moves so quickly it’s hard to get a good look at some of the art. The bunny suit is a nice touch though i won’t complain about that :)

Music:

The music fit very well into the show. The OP gets you into a good mindset for what your about to watch and the translation of the OP is quite funny and seems to fit.

Overall:

In a season where three of my favorite anime have gotten new life, Fairy Tail, SAO, and Index, this show completely overshadowed all three in my opinion. If you like romance, fantasy and mystery, as well as great characters, you should definitely check this one out. I loved this show more and more with every episode and the ending was almost perfect. I will say that if they do a dub, I don't think it will do the dialogue justice so, keep that in mind.
