I should get angry and award either the anime series or this movie BOO!. It is a purely commercial and calculated production because I cannot imagine any other way that a thirteen-part anime series will be released at the same time as the movie. We are being bombarded with movies (so far, there are two announced officially - this one has already been released and the second one is to be released in May 2016, although some sources say there are going to be three). Plus, they are both confusing. Surely it would not be such a problem if they were not both the same! Hell, even Czech movie director Zdenek Troska understood that if you do a TV series and a movie (like The Watermill Princess), you want to differentiate the two at least somehow. With this, I first watched the first episode of the anime series. Then I watched the movie (because I did not know there was a movie and when I saw it, and then it was too tempting not to), and then watched the other episodes of the anime series, and for the life of me, I could not find a single difference between them. Everything seems to be exactly the same in my opinion; the animation, the dialogues, etc. I may be wrong, and I would be glad if someone corrected me. It is true that after seeing this movie, I have not been giving a hundred percent of my attention to the anime series anymore. I am rather just waiting to catch up to the end of the sixth episode of the anime series, where I guess it will catch up to the movie. On the other hand, since it has the same qualities and is the same in my opinion, it would probably be unfair to drop it, so I am inclined to give it the same rating. If it had been something more unpleasant and I felt I had missed out on an important part of my life by watching it twice, then I would not have been so lenient, although this way, it turned out well. I wonder if there will be any point in watching another movie after the anime series. There will not be any point if it only contains the second part of the anime series. 6.3/10. If anyone happens to wonder how I got to this point, check out my review of the anime series. (17.02.2016)
