I really thought Kaede's arc was over in the first season and I was so wrong! I loved seeing her having to battle with the fear that Sakuta loved her other self more. I loved that she learned she is enough and she doesn't have anything to make up for. She doesn't have to follow the other Kaede's dreams, she needs to follow her own.

The movie is better than the book. The book feels like a 200 page PSA for alternative format high schools.

Kaede's growth through this series really is incredible. I love the fact that she's using a cell phone in the movie (I can't remember if she had it yet during Dreaming Girl). I also picked up some things I missed previously - when Sakuta walks her to the station, she makes the point to say "I will do my best, too." She said it twice even - that "too" on the end carried so much more meaning than it seemed initially. Zukki is incredible and so much fun. She's such a contrast to the other characters who are much more down to earth. And her silly antics on stage are all her, not preplanned skits. I was amused that the online school is called the "Aobuta school" "Seishun Buta Yarō" is the Japanese title for "Rascal Does Not Dream" is is commonly shortend to "Aobuta." (Btw, the direct translation of Seishun Buta Yarō is 'Teenage Pig Bastard." So in some of the earlier/non-official translations you'll see Futaba calling Sakuta a Teenage Pig instead of a Rascal). This movie does feel a lot slower than the others, some rank it low because of how much slice of life it involved, but I think a lot of that was to really set up what Kaede was going through - also like I mentioned before there were quite a few clues hiding in her words & actions. Enough trivia for today :) Looking forward to the next moive. I think it may surprise you. (And likely confuse you. I know I was).

I don't want to spoil anything, but the next movie is about adolescence syndrome. And the second season is about.... Adolescence syndrome. Also, I love how this series shows random things in the background the end up playing major roles later in the series.

Because I can't stay away from this series, something else I picked up during this watch: We get another view into Sakuta's personality during the scene in the nursing office. When Kaede brings up English and her lessons with Nodoka, Sakuta compliments Nadoka. Then Kaede talks about Japanese & Kanji lessons from Mai (almost nod to S1E3), Sakuta compliments [his] Mai-san. And then when Kaede talks about math and the formulas that Sakuta taught her, Sakuta compliments Kaede. Takes no credit for himself. And then, when Kaede talks about him 'liking the other Kaede better' the light novel makes it clear that Sakuta is *pissed.* I think the statement hurt him deeply, which is why he couldn't just answer, and why he gave the glare to his teacher. But then he recovered after gathering her things, calling Nodoka to set up the Zukki meet. I could go on, but I'll refrain until the next movie :)
