Just came back from seeing this movie. Saw it on a whim as honestly, I had forgotten all about it after the initial PV came out. However, I was not disappointed and had a good time. Loved Lio and Galo, though Lio was my favorite. The story was pretty predictable, but still quite enjoyable. I kind of wish the story was a little longer and we were able to get more on the Burnish. Many of the infamous Triggerisms were there, but we just laughed and had fun!

Promare Anime Film Gets 4D Screenings, Earns 1.2 Billion Yen: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...on-yen/.151352
BD release should still take a while ... At least success creates the possibility of other projects. |

I laughed at the Matoi armor.
I saw this in Boston with subs last night and was naturally the oldest person in the theater. There was one guy who might have been in his early forties. Everyone else was well under thirty. After the first twenty minutes I worried whether the whole film would proceed at the same torrid pace the opening sequence does. Would there ever be a quiet period where we could relax for a moment? But Imaishi puts them in there as well -- eating pizza, skating on an ice lake -- to pace us. I watched the staff roundtable at the end. The character designer said that SUSHIO was animation director on the film. He was the character designer for Kill la Kill, but he showed his chops as an animator in his music video of KISS vs MCZ. The character designs in Promare are pretty similar to those in Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann. The seiyuu cast include some of the great veterans we heard in Kill la Kill as well, and some excellent newcomers like Saotome Taichi who voiced Lio. Koshimizu Ami transforms herself from hot-headed Ryoko to a cool, introverted scientist. Tetsu Inada (Gamagoori) and Shintami Mayumi (Nonon, Haruko in FLCL) also appear. I'll have to listen to Sawano's score separately to evaluate it. I thought it stood out less than his score for Kill la Kill, but I thought that made it a better score in some ways.

I don't think having the showings on Tues and Thurs helped it. My showings of the movie were only at one time and very small. Also, it didn't have a lot of promotion. I saw it on a whim myself barely remembering it was going to come out. It wasn't like when I went to see the Hero Academia movie.

I went to go watch it with my friend.
To put it simply, it was over-the-top and fun. It's so over-the-top, it leaves you going "Pff, sure ", but since it is so over-the-top and still makes sense in its world setting, it is fun to watch. Quoting my friend, it was what Darlin in the Franks tried to be, but failed because they weren't over-the-top enough and thus ended up looking just stupid. It really felt like the staff put in everything they love, drills, robots, butts, and a random black line covering the clothes of the girl to make her look naked. Also, the use of geometry shapes in the animation was pretty.

They've been starting to show the movie again in select theaters around me in the US, so I would check your local places to see if there is a theater nearby playing it in case you missed it the first time.

Don't see an obvious way to identify subtitled versus dubbed showings though. You have to look at each showtime, at least for the theater here in Boston. I looked at a couple of cities. It appears to be running through next Wednesday, October 9th.

Went to see Promare again tonight. This time the theater was much less crowded, since they are doing five shows per day, but there was a large contingent of girls who cheered when
Spoiler:
I'm impressed at how well Shitani Mayumi's voice has held up over the years. At 43 she still sounds a lot like Haruhara Haruko from FLCL.

The BD's been out for a few days. Watched it and I thought it was good, but nothing to write home about. Certainly not a work I'll remember. Sure, there was some awesome animation, but the action itself felt like it was trying to emulate Gurren Lagann without ever managing to capture what made it so awesome and just ended up underwhelming me.
As for the plot, it was pretty much garbage.
