Final Comments:

Love Live is one of my favorites, it’s one of my loves, and it’s one of my heavens. I felt sad, happy, confused, and hurt while watching this movie. I love all the characters! Especially μ’s. Maki, Nico, Rin, Hanayo, Honoka, Eli, Kotori, Umi, and Nozumi are too wonderful. They make me feel nice and happy. I didn’t want them to go but you know what they say. Everything good has to end someday. But Love Live will always stay in my heart forever, it’s corny but it’s true. The movie was excellent, every Love Live fan needs to watch it! But not new people, watch the Anime first. It was a wonderful journey but it felt unfinished and unpolished. But overall, I loved it. Especially seeing it in theaters. Just WOW! Got some rare goods! But seriously, i’ll miss my favorite girls. But this isn’t goodbye, it’s see you later. So, “instead of saying goodbye, i’ll say see you later”. Ugh, i’m corny. – Richard K. Moe
