Is this meant to be PG yandere? What's the moral of the story really? I could not relate to Yuu at all, since she was so manipulative from the start. If she told NEWS that she specifically wanted friends from each school - that would have been fine. If she told them that she wanted them to become idols from the start - that would have been fine. But this was like... What?
The biggest thing I do not get is Kurumi. I can imagine that others could have been at least somewhat curious about trying new things (especially South), but Kurumi was a nerd from the start, and it was clear she does not care for idols or being in the spotlight. Heck, I do not even get why she agreed to meet Yuu. She ran away because she thought Yuu was a fan, and she was one. But even if Kurumi had some curiosity to try idol things, why was Yuu the one making decisions for all of them? Why there was no real conflict between then till very late in the game?
It also did not really look like Yuu was that into idols. No memorabilia, no singing or dancing (although I think she mentioned ballet). It looks like she just got this random idea in her head, that she did not tell anyone besides 1 guy (and I did not even get it, whether he ended up with her or with Kurumi), and then manipulated people to get a desired result. If the point of the movie was to show a mental person - ok, they did it. But what's with the ending then? She calls herself "nasty" ones and then somehow everything is forgotten and automatically resolved and everyone lives happily ever after? But then that means that the split did not matter much...
This movie frustrated me a lot, as you can see. I think it was undercooked, although the start seemed somewhat promising.
