Osomatsu-san: Hipipo-Zoku to Kagayaku Kajitsu

This could've very easily been a 20 minute episode. There is constant filler and jokes that stretch on and on and fucking on even though they are not THAT funny and the animation while very good is mostly on the same level as the TV anime.

I get it, it's the 60th anniversary and they wanted to do something special but...this "special" is rather mediocre.

It isn't all that bad though, the plot is alright and the twist was hilarious. Todomatsu has some really golden moments and even the Riceballs got to shine, ngl I expected them to fade into the background after their screen time ... has ran out but it seems like they're really commiting to them as permanent tsukkomi characters.

I don't want this review to be pure bitching as it's not a bad movie, but in all honesty I vastly prefer the first movie and Takoyaki Party more. Those two are just much funnier and have better pacing, as well as actually somewhat caring about the story.

One last compliment I could give...I liked the setting? It was nice to see them in non-city surroundings. The backgrounds were great (however again, pretty much on the same level as the TV anime) and I liked seeing the detail of the brothers getting more and more tanned the longer they stayed on the island.

That's all I can say really without revealing major spoilers, again it's a fine film but the first is way better.
