Overall 5 Story 4 Animation 8 Sound 6 Character 5 Enjoyment 5 The irregular at magic high school movie, while visually interesting, suffers from poor pacing and a plot hole ridden storyline that represents a microcosm of the series as a whole. They author stated that this movie is primarily targeted for the fans that keep up with the novels, so the best way to enjoy this movie is to have a good idea about what transpired between the anime series and the movie. The reason I say this is that there are characters(Lina in particularly) and events that are referenced(via flashback or other means) that are in the film, but do not appear in the anime and only appear in the LN volumes that I've mentioned.

PSA: To get the full amount of the enjoyment of the film, you should either: a)Read volume 8-11 or b)Read the summaries on the Mahouka wiki to at least get a grasp of those volumes and what transpires in them. Just don't expect this to be a real continuation of the anime series as this is just mostly a standalone action flick(though it technically is considered canon). Even if you didn't like the TV anime series, you might like this more if your main problem with the TV anime was its pacing and minimal action. Overall, the movie should be a very enjoyable experience to fans who keep up with the source material and even anime only fans should have fun watching the characters go on another adventure/mission. The only cons I have are the fact that if you've haven't read volumes 8-11 of the LN, you'll be a bit lost and confused about some things that transpire or happened in between the movie and the TV series(The movie takes place after volume 11), the movie's production value could have been a bit higher(it looked more like a glorified OVA than an actually theatrical film), and it could have done with a longer run-time(like 15-30 minutes longer would have been nice).

Also for the fan service lovers, there's a few scenes in the movie that you'll be happy to see.
