chill★★★★★AnimeThe upgraded animation makes every downhill battle more exciting, and the emotional moments give the story a stronger impact than earlier entries. By the end, it feels less like the conclusion of one chapter and more like the beginning of a new journey.
ryansenpai★★★★☆AnimeOne of the things I love most about this movie is how it shows that every race impacts the characters lives. It isn't just about who is the fastest it is also about dreams, failures, and once in a lifetime opportunities.
tairue★★★★★AnimeWhen I started this movie, I was genuinely curious how they would wrap up Takumi's story and I think this handled that really well. What surprised me the most in this is how much time the movie dedicated onto Takumi's messy relationship with Natsuki. The pacing was just right to me, it moves between the races and the personal scenes smoothly and all of them didn't feel rushed or stalled. The racing scenes however, they were really clean, even cleaner than what I've remembered from the series. This was really a good watch for me, even though I'm not that much of a fan, I can say that this was a movie worth watching.
