Gekijô-ban Purojekuto Sekai Kowareta Sekai to Utaenai Miku

I went into the movie making jokes and drinking a beer. I am not a miku fan I know her and some of her songs however her movie was all around solid. Nothing ground breaking but nothing mid or even bad it is good and can be watched by anyone even if you have never heard of hatsune miku. Her music is very good if you are not a fan of musicals beware it is not a musical but it has lots of singing I for one enjoyed it throughly. As for the plot there are a lot of characters it was hard to keep track of them especially because I am not a fan but all around I will recommend the movie for a good easy and feel good experience with some heart string pulls.

Hatsune Miku is an icon sadly this movie is not too friendly for people who are not familiar with the video game it comes from.

I say this because there are around 4 or 5 different groups each of them has around 5 artists in them, the movie jumps back and forth between them constantly and it doesn't explain very well who they're, what they do... (You can guess though) Why each of them has a variant of Miku and other Vocaloids.

Later on after investigating a bit i understood that these are recurring characters of a popular video game, so if you're not familiar with this then you'll be confused with these groups

Because of this i think the story wasn't very good, it felt like a bunch of things where happening just for the sake of it.

The animation itself is really good specially in the dancing & singing sequences.

Soundtrack is good but they left the catchy songs towards the end.

There's one thing to dislike in the Spanish subtitles: At least for the North America release the majority of subtitles are hard to read on colorful scenes because the text blends with it.

I thought just coming up to this movie just knowing "Hatsune Miku sings and it's popular" was enough to enjoy it but it was an overall confusing experience for me.

I love the movie, you can literally just go in and watch it for Miku with no context of the game (I haven't played it) and just enjoy it. Random people who watch this like parents or random friends won't like it because they do not appreciate Migu, but you know that's pretty standard for normies. I don't know why people with no liking for Miku or anime are watching this movie. So many of the negatives are not understanding or just flat negative, more than likely Miku haters of this movie are jealous Teto wasn't in it. Definitely gonna watch a 3rd time and get it late on. I love Hatsune Miku and friends :D.

I'm seeing a lot of reviews complaining about not knowing anything about the groups. There are 5 units which have 5 minute videos on YouTube that explain each units backstory and what they do. If you're not willing to put in the effort to watch a Colorful Stage movie about the video game, then please do not watch this movie and do NOT leave a review. This movie is strictly based off of the Colorful Stage game and I am tired of this movie getting bad reviews because people only want to see Miku. Try going to a Miku concert if you only want to see Miku.

Anyways, this movie covers heavy topics like being alone or wanting to give up on life. The main groups help Miku to reach those who are steadily giving up. Miku's voice can not reach them so each group helps her to convey her songs. This movie is warming and heartfelt, really something that both teens and parents could love and relate to. Each of the groups have characters that you'll fall in love with, like Mizuki and Minori, the energetic types, or Ichika and Haruka, focused on their work while still being calm and nice. This movie really has something for everyone, and you'll fall in love with the music.

I went into this movie very unfamiliar with the world of Sekai and Vocaloid, so it took a while to process all the characters being thrown on the screen. But once I knew who was who and got settled into the movie... all I can say was wow. The animation in this is really colorful and vibrant, so it keeps us engaged and makes it pleasant on the eyes. The songs had me dancing in my theater seat with my food because they were very well-done and easy to dance to. But what I found best about the movie was the poignancy and the writing. The writing felt so motivational and touching that it wants you to learn something valuable: no matter what you are feeling, no matter how much weight is thrown down on your shoulders, no matter how much you hit rock bottom and do nothing but hate yourself... DO NOT GIVE UP AND DO NOT STOP POSITIVELY HOPING!!!! Your voice will be heard if you just speak up about what is bothering you, and it can make an impact on others who feel the same way as you!

Overall, this was one of the best recent animated movies I've watched, mastering the art of combining beautiful animation and an original story with a motivational screenplay and several dashes of poignancy, knowing what this unique Hatsune Miku has been through. 10/10.
