10/10

Another good addition to the "Rascal does not dream" series. I think this one might be second best after "Rascal does not dream of a dreaming girl." I really liked this one.

I wasn't expecting that plot at all,but I'm glad it’s about him.
I never thought about it, but growing up too fast must have been difficult for him.
So the idea of ​​a storyline centered on that and his mother was great.
A beautiful movie to end this arc.
Sakuta always the GOAT!

Deadass might be the best out of the three

Glad to get back to more adolescence syndrome, the concept is just so intriguing. But damn this one hit close to home love the full circle moments and the romance part continues to be a highlight as well. Can’t wait for Santa claus

this entire series is absolute cinema. i feel like this one really hit home the most, since this one had the original plotline from the show. it is still fantastic, and i absolutely cannot wait for the next part to drop.
