Kaiketsu Zorori Movie: Lalala♪ Star Tanjou

I created very rough subtitles for this, using the YouTube auto subtitles featured, which heard the Japanese audio and generated a Japanese transcript, which I then translated into English. Keep this in mind as you read my review, because as of now, this was the only option to watch this as a non Japanese viewer, as no fan subtitles exist. This is a simple, sweet little story involving the Zorori cast you know and love, as pretty much all of the reoccurring side characters get to make an appearance along with the mains, though none of them are particularly focused on. What this could be compared to,would be that episode of Sonic X where Sonic was helping a girl in a wheelchair get to see the world by giving her a special day. Essentially that is what we have here, although it is about the Zorori cast helping a girl with her singing. If you are coming to this film looking for badass moments of Zorori competing against his "rivals" such as Beat-kun, like what you would (occasionally) see in the old classic Zorori TV anime, you are not gonna get that much of that here, with Zorori and his relationships with his side characters being generally simplified down to "they occasionally bicker but they're all just friends." That may seem like a disappointment because this Zorori film is not gonna give you as much complexity with Zorori's relationships as you would hope for, but personally I don't see that as a problem because clearly this is just meant to be a simple and sweet story about Zorori helping a girl. Long story short, a good film, not essential viewing, but it is a shame it is not English subtitled. I am tempted to try posting my own English subtitles (though they are rough, like very rough), if no one else is going to subtitle this. I think the reason it happened this way, is because this film is so new, and the Zorori Project (a fan made English subtitles project), had already stopped subtitling by the time this came out, so they didn't pick this one up. Or something, who knows? haha
