Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Movie: Maji Love Kingdom

This movie has no story, it's just a concert with the 3 main groups.
So what's the point in watching ? The musics and characters.

First the musics, they are all really catchy and high quality. In my opinion they are among the best of Utapri songs.
Then the characters. Have you seen the Utapri lives and the parts when the seiyuu talk with each others ? In the movie, they have little talks in a similar way, it's very funny and heartwarming. The way they act is also faithful to their character.

In summary, this is an animated Utapri concert, with about equal time spent on the ... 3 groups, amazing music, no scenario, great character interactions and a good cgi. But it is also very entertaining.
If you're an Utapri fan go immediatly watch it, it's a must see. If you're not but you're interessed in anime with music why not give it a watch.

For me it's a movie that I love watching and I would rate it guilty pleasure/10
(sorry for my english, it's not my first language)

When announcements came around that Uta no Prince Sama would be receiving a movie, I was ecstatic. I was interested in seeing the plot as well as character interactions.

However, after seeing clips and reading up the synopsis, I came to the conclusion that Maji Love Kingdom wouldn't have any plot. The movie was basically an hour-long concert featuring the groups: STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT, AND HEAVENS.

Despite there being no plot, I honestly felt that it worked since the Utapri franchise is all about the music. I still had a great time listening to the songs and seeing the groups interact with each other. The colors were ... also very pleasing and the animation was very fluid.

If I had to name some downsides, it would be that I wish that the songs were longer. I also would've liked to see more of Haruka as well as the other side characters. I feel like them only being seen in the credits scene wasn't enough.

First things first, this is not a narrative-driven movie. This is, in fact, a 90 minute animated concert where CG models of the Utapri dudes glide around a very extravagant stage and occasionally banter with one another. If this sounds boring to you then it's an easy skip. However, if there's anything Utapri has had on lock since day one it's the music, so I didn't mind sitting down for this.

Starish, Quartet Night and Heavens all get roughly equal time in the spotlight here, with each unit having two songs each, one big group number at the end, and several shuffle unit songs in the ... middle. The songs are all immaculately crafted upbeat J-Pop perfection, which just comes with the territory. By the end I did feel the need to immediately rush to the nearest Animate and buy all the latest Utapri CDs which was the entire point of this movie so that's a job well done there.

Um, so yeah. If you're a diehard Utapri fan then this is worth a watch. If you don't care then this will not sway you. I kinda zoned out at a few points myself but seeing Ranmaru on the big screen made it all worth it.
