There is nothing here but MAJOR MAJOR spoilers, as in the plot summary, in detail as much as possible. Some points are already on @looking-for-stray-dogspostso I decided not to delve into them anymore. ((Gosh Lea and I talked about this for probably more than 2 hrs, making notes and the outline lol, until the restaurant finally told us to go home))
You’ve been warned so if you don’t want any of that, then don’t read this post. Also this is a fan report and is not 100% accurate. Bear with my human memory ability
Also, excuse my grammar, I can’t English damn it I’m tired
Bias – ofc everyone has their own. I have favorites so I might have focused more on some characters, but I did try to report this as objectively as I can. I put comments/feelings tho in some parts I found hard to narrate/describe like action scenes. And yes, I’m a Soukoku shipper but I tried to keep it low here, I’ll make a separate post for them for the sake of people who don’t want to read too much feels here. Also, my Japanese is far from perfect so I may have missed some or a lot of details, especially with Fyodor, Shibusawa, Fukuzawa, and Chuuya’s language.
Lastly, PLEASE DO SUPPORT THE MOVIE in any possible legal way you can. I’ve felt how much the staff put so much work on this movie, how they love it so much, and how they present it as a gift to everyone. The BSD fandom is not big, but we have been blessed to actually have this, because Asagiri believes we deserve more than a compilation film, and because Kadokawa and Bones are willing to produce this thing.
If it will be showing in your country, please, please do make sure to watch it. If not, then please buy official goods. And yeah do continue bugging Crunchyroll or anyone else

What if you were dating a moth prince and living in his kingdom and he knew how out of place you felt so he made you dozens of silk dresses and blankets and gave you lots of fuzzy shawls and scarves so you wouldn’t stand out so much and always said you were so beautiful you were glowing and occasionally bump right into your face because it was a little joke and he would pretend you were a light bulb and give you tiny kisses
Yeah, I understand their feelings, honestly, but I wish people would just let the fans enjoy themselves, y’know? I think we all understand deep down it’s not really ~canon~, but getting this kind of content for your ships is really something worth celebrating.
Personally, I’m not actually used to having my fav characters or ships be Wildly Popular in fandom, so this is really an exciting thing for me? I originally got into BSD in 2016 mainly because of Chuuya and I’ve thought about and wanted shit like this so much since then. I love seeing other people appreciate my favs and the hype and excitement is so fucking Real right now and no one is going to stop me from enjoying this moment, tbh.
let’s be real
even if soukoku isn’t truly ~100% literally canon~, it’s ten times more real than it was, say, a week ago, and that’s something to fuckign celebrate
i’ve literally Wanted This For Years and i’m gonna bask in this Hype as much as i possibly can
i know lots of people feel the same, so let’s freely enjoy our moment here, yeah?
