Well it's finally out and it's nearly an hour long
Didn't expect that

As for how it was 
It was pretty decent
I loved S1 and s2 but this was as good
But more gotoubun no hanayome anime is always welcome 

And studio shaft did a pretty solid job 

For the wondering where I watched it, I happened to catch it at the premiere
it'll probably be atleast a month or 2 before its out on any streaming services

wait is this season 3? where can i watch it? (i have vpn too) thanks in advance :)

No, it says on the description what it is. This is just unadapted parts of the manga all together in a 1 hour special episode(just more Quints).

It only premiered in Japan and it will be available by the end of July or start of August for the rest of the world

Okay, I didn't have one bit of expectation for this movie but boy, it was actually good! Shaft's flex with that opening was just pure bliss, oof. What could have been had they adapted the whole manga, I bet it'll leave y'all wondering the same every now and then during many moments of the movie. 

Movie as a whole really just felt like two side stories adapted and they even had a mid-movie theme playing which left my friend and me bewildered, xD. There's a good amount of comedy and melancholy in this movie and no rushed content so that's a big plus. I'm so glad about the way Yotsuba's section was handled in particular, nearly shed a tear or two there. And the pool scenes, just gochisousamadeshita Shaft, lmao. Itsuki sure tried to prevent mayhem but just ended up right in the middle of it, lol. Funny, I ended up getting her postcard but hey she'd the cutest swimsuit, so I can't complain. 

There's a special section after the ED credits, make sure to stick around for that. Miku's voice actresses comment in particular about wanting to play a certain scene and getting to actually do it is just beautiful. Don't often see something like this. Helped me to settle with an 8/10, for sure.

Ah, it’s truly heartwarming to reunite with the quints. Witnessing Nino and Fuutaro team up once again at the pastry shop after such a long time brought a smile to my face. I loved the character growth from Itsuki and Yotsuba in this, a facet that was somewhat lacking in the original TV anime.

Much like recent anime such as Horimiya and Osuama Rankings, this "special" brings to life stories that were left untold in the original series, and they handle them exceptionally well. The movie strikes a balance between humor and poignant moments, all while avoiding any rushed content, which is a definite positive.

I had concerns when the studio changed for the third time, now with Shaft taking the reins. However, I must admit, Shaft has delivered beyond my expectations. The opening sequence they created was a delightful animation, with a catchy tune to boot. The realization that this will mark the final song from the five voice actors does leave a touch of melancholy.

It's evident that this special wasn't a mere profit-driven venture. Instead, it served a crucial purpose by shedding light on vital aspects of the narrative, enriching the comprehension of the series. Although the runtime of nearly an hour tends to drag a bit towards the conclusion, as a devoted fan of the quints, I wholeheartedly embrace any content centered around them that comes my way.

So happy to see the quitiplets again! Even tho I watched the movie only a month ago. And yeah this is supposed to be between season 2 and the movie.
I've already seen the OP when it first released but damn it's beautiful
Daamn that talking animation tho
Nino best tsundere!
I smiled so much during the second half. Seems like they integrated a skipped chapter from earlier in the story because Miku's hair is long. Or maybe it was a flashback in the manga too?
Bro Yotsuba as a dog in the drawing though LMAO
19:21 Oh it's the couple that got together on the school trip!
The ED is really nice too! Yotsuba with pigtails!
This was really good. Looking forward to the second part! (I wonder how will the MAL listing work now. Will they keep it as 1 episode?)

Shaft animating this hits very different, some very great shots. In terms of the content, not much to really talk about, just some slice of life moments. Still not a fan of this style of adapting cut content, but it is what it is. At least this series will always be entertaining to me.

I loved it, the quintuplets are back, let's gooooo!!!

I have only seen the first part of the special, hopefully MAL changes the system so that it is divided by episodes.

The opening and ending are very good, I would say that the opening is on par with that of the second season xd.

The animation is amazing, I thought it would look weird but I got used to it right away; the story is good, it almost looks like a DLC from the anime but I think it's fine xd

This is what I wanted to see in the series, a few more quintuplets in love and going towards their goal, the moments with Nino and Miku are very good but obviously:

Itsuki>>>>>>Miku>>>>>>Nino>>>>>the other 2. 🚬

When I saw Yotsuba dog I almost laughed, it's very cursed xddd

Just watched the first episode. It's amazing how different the special is compared to the rest of the series with Shaft as the one handling it. Really has that Shaft feelings to it with all the wide shots and standing still moments. The girls are 500% cuter, it's like I'm watching Nisekoi again.

I was wondering how Shaft would deal with Kiku's chapter as it originally happened a while back in the manga, but they treat it as a flashback which is way better than just going back and forth between chapters.

Now that we get these chapters adapted, here's hoping Shaft would do another special about Ichika's arc. The movie glosses over that in five seconds, barely giving enough context as to why she's not going to school.

I'm Team Itsuki but Ichika is the most charming.

Shaft is culture. Knowing Nino is the best girl and giving her the MOST screen time alone with Fuu-kun.

Having the Quintuplets back is everything I ever dreamed of!! However in the anime it said "Specials", plural, and the title read "Part 1"? Guess what MAL is showing us isn't that accurate yet haha😂.
Seeing everyone's faces in the new art looked breathtaking! When Nino asked if Futaro would stay by her side was so cute, and that she made him flustered was a sight to behold. You know I read the the part of the manga leading to the movie pats, but I don't remember seeing Kiku in it🤔. From the fact it took place a year ago (Season 1 timeline), it must've been in one of the first volume of the manga series😅. Because she proposed to play house, that gave Miku the chance to be assertive when wanting play Kiku's mama, wanting to go to dinner with Futaro, and even saying they should date! I love her so much! This special really shows how close the six of them are and how much Futaro has changed because of them. Now since the trailer showed them being at the pool and Futaro inviting them at the end, I expect there to be a part 2 loll!

Loved the first part to this film. Not only does the OP sound amazing, but it is probably one of the, if not, most visual stunning OPs I've ever seen. Studio Shaft did such an immaculate job on not just the OP, but for the entirety of this first part; really wish I could just watch this all at once but whatever.

Honestly had a bit of trouble recalling the chapters that this adapted at first but they came back to me. Kind of an interesting choice to start this off with Chp 92 first, but it's about Nino so I'm all for it. Love how Nino just blocked out the memories of her saying anything harsh to Fuutaro before this.

I guess waiting a week for each episode isn't so bad. Been awhile since I got to watch this series weekly.

This show is so easy to get back to. Every time I think I won't like it but still end up liking it. Not much change withe style, they tried to keep the looks similar well, Shaft has a lot of other stuff to make to.

It was nice change with other people in episode and still lovely relationship with the girls. Miku was so bold in that house play :D I don't know why Itsuki acted so strange?
The other girls on the beach were also sexy ;d It would be better if one of them hit on Uesugi ;d

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

That OP is the best I've seen from this series.
Nino and her tsundere act never fail to amuse me!

I like the scenes when they were playing house with Kiku. Miku was so assertive with her feelings, and I loved it! I also like the attention to detail when Miku thought Fuutarou confessed to her. The way she nervously moved her skirt. That was good! Nino and Itsuki being called the grandmas and Nino getting annoyed made me chuckle.

Excellent animation by Shaft. The girls look extra beautiful, especially Itsuki! I wish they did the entire series!

I think you can only get harem ending in the video games :( though I like that they hint at it in this episode.
