Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for manga readers and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 54 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

First of the two-part theatrical Wake Up, Girls! sequel.
