Reception
Box office
The film ranked at number 8 in its opening weekend.[12] The film has grossed over $191,002 worldwide.[13]
Critical reception
Reuben Baron of Anime News Network gave the film a B- rating, and stated "Where the show knew how to balance its constant silly humor with effective dramatic beats, the movie sometimes finds itself in a more awkward tonal zone of being less funny while still too nonsensical to fully buy into the story."[14]
