Plot

edit

Following their summer vacation, Futaro Uesugi and the Nakano quintuplets Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki, now third-year high school students, prepare for the upcoming school festival. On the day of the festival, Futaro invites the quintuplets to a room and confesses his love to them, but he tells them to wait until the end of the festival to know whom he has chosen among them. During her acting work on the second day of the festival, Ichika learns that one of her sisters has collapsed and rushes to a hospital, where she sees Futaro and Nino visiting. Ichika strolls outside with Futaro, during which she kisses him at a park. On the second day of the festival, Nino is expecting the quintuplets' father Maruo to visit the school but is unable to find him among the crowd. Futaro approaches her with a video confirming her father's attendance. Nino and Futaro visit her father in the hospital, where she cooks a pancake for him. After the successful meeting, Nino kisses Futaro and thanks her father for choosing him as the quintuplets' tutor.

On the first day of the festival, Miku is accompanied by Futaro in approaching the boys' takoyaki stand, where she promises that the girls supporting the pancake stand are going to enjoy their food. Later, Miku returns to the stand with the girls but finds the place on fire. On the third day of the festival, Miku invites Futaro to a rooftop, where they find two of their classmates arguing about the takoyaki stand incident. After reprimanding her classmates, Miku confronts Futaro out of jealousy from his meeting with an unknown girl yesterday and kisses him. Since the start of the festival, Yotsuba is overworking in helping different clubs. On the second day of the festival, she collapses due to exhaustion. While in a hospital, Yotsuba learns from Futaro that some of the students she has helped before offered their assistance during her absence. On the third day of the festival, Yotsuba kisses a resting Futaro. Itsuki is studying on the first day of the festival when her teacher Mudō reveals his history with her mother. The next day, she learns that Mudō is the quintuplets' biological father and gets angry at him for leaving her mother alone when she was pregnant. On the third day of the festival, Futaro visits Itsuki in the house and motivates her to keep on following her dream of being a teacher. Later, Maruo, Futaro's father Isanari, and Miku (disguised as Itsuki) meet with Mudō. Itsuki then tells Mudō that he is not suitable to be the quintuplets' father after failing to see through Miku's disguise.

At the end of the festival, the quintuplets advise Futaro to approach one of them, currently separated from each other in a building, as his way of confession. Futaro meets with Yotsuba and confesses his love, but she rejects him as she sees herself as unfit for him. As she runs away from him, Yotsuba recalls her first meeting with Futaro and the promise they made to each other. In the end, Futaro catches up to her and manages to convince her and confess her true feelings toward him. Yotsuba decides to address the feelings of her sisters first before dating Futaro. After reconciling with her sisters, Yotsuba begins dating Futaro, during which he suddenly proposes to her for marriage at the park with a swing they visited before. Five years later, Nino and Miku, now owners of a cafe, reunite with Ichika, an actress, Itsuki, a teacher, and Yotsuba, who is about to get married. As a wedding gift, Yotsuba's ears get pierced to wear her mother's earrings. On the day of the wedding, the quintuplets play their final game to Futaro, in which he needs to guess who the bride among them is, but he instead identifies them one by one. After the success of the wedding, the quintuplets discuss the best country for the newlywed's honeymoon.

Reception

edit

Box office

edit

The film grossed ¥390 million ($3.05 million) in its opening weekend in Japan, ranking second at the box office.[51] In its second weekend, the film earned ¥216 million ($1.68 million) and ranked down to the third place at the box office.[52] The film reached the one-billion-yen mark at the box office after earning ¥133 million ($1 million) in its third weekend and ranked down to the fourth place.[53] In the 26 days since the film's release, one million tickets were reported to have been sold.[54] The film reached the two-billion-yen box office in its ninth weekend, becoming the fifth Japanese animated film of 2022 to do so.[55]

Outside Japan, the film grossed $502,000 in its opening weekend in the United States and Canada.[56] Deadline Hollywood noted the film was "not a crowd pleaser to its demo like previous titles from [Crunchyroll]", with its opening day earning $266,000 from 910 theaters.[57] In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the film earned £24,000 ($29,520) from 108 theaters in its opening weekend.[58]

Critical response

edit

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% approval rating, with an average score of 7.6/10, based on 12 reviews.[59] The Japanese review and survey firm Filmarks placed The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie first in their first-day satisfaction ranking, with an average rating of 4.15/5, based on 520 reviews.[60]

Phil Hoad at The Guardian gave The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie 4 out of 5 stars, stating that the film was "a fairly charming, if stridently sentimental and moralistic romantic fantasy that, with its clever structure, even manages to pick at the mysteries of identity." Hoad lauded how director Masato Jinbo depicted each of the quintuplets' individuality over the story's three-day school festival.[61] Simon Abrams of TheWrap felt the film had "all of the melodramatic revelations and puppy-love intrigue of the preceding anime series", stating that "[i]f you like unabashedly corny teen romances, there's a fair chance that the sheer too-much-ness of The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie will appeal to you."[16] Courtney Lanning of Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette felt the film was "cute, heartfelt and funny at times" and praised the "bouncy and colorful" art handled by Bibury Animation Studios.[62] Daryl Harding of Crunchyroll praised the film for its animation, sound music, and production.[63] Kim Morrissy of Anime News Network graded the film "B", feeling that the film did "an impressive job with the leadup, dangling the five options in a way that makes them all seem plausible without cheapening the eventual resolution."[64] Richard Whittaker of The Austin Chronicle gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, feeling that it did "what it needs to do in not just making a choice, or making a choice that will please the biggest section of the audience and infuriate too many shippers, but in making a choice that makes sense."[65]

Critics criticized the film's runtime and ending: Abrams felt that it "crams too much of everything into an oversized 136-minute special that mainly serves to wrap up the anime series' loose narrative threads";[16] Lanning believed that it "would have benefited from a little bit of trimming" and noted how the story at its conclusion "starts to drag";[62] Harding felt the ending was "rushed";[63] and Morrissy found the ending focusing on the quintuplets "ends up taking too much time."[64]

Accolades

edit

In December 2022, The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie placed eleventh among the top 20 Japanese animated films voted by fans to win the Anime of the Year at Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2023.[66] That month, U-Next placed the film seventh on their list of the "Best 10 Most Popular Works in 2022" for the anime rental category,[67] and Animate Times ranked it fourth on their poll for the top 20 animated films of 2022.[68]
