I've watched all UtaPri has to offer, and I must say, this is one of the best stuff they've put out in a while. I'd say its best attribute is the fact that Nanami, who is usually the (mild) protagonist in all of the installments, is not there. While that means there is no character to insert oneself in, which might be a big appeal to part of the audience, it also gives a lot of freedom to the STARISH cast. With Nanami being removed from the equation, you see them interact naturally, not being forced to say each (1) line to Nanami, in everyscene, in every converasation. Their interactions are cute and if you like the characters, I think you'll enjoy to see their group dynamics unfold. nnSo in summary, if you enjoy the more romantic aspect of UtaPri, I'd say you can pass on this one. It provides a bit of context for the following movie, but I don't think it's vital. On the other hand, if you enjoy the STARISH cast by themselves, I'd say you can give it a try.
