Hopefully it'll get one here if they have any sense.
This is outright better than 95% of anime romance, and a lot of it comes down to having plots that don't involve trying to get into someone's pants, having an actual family around, and having some emotional maturity. It's still a love triangle between an indecisive guy and two girls, and it's anime, and it's from the 80s, so it does get uncomfortable in spots, but it holds up quite well.
That ending movie, though.... Like, not to be all "polyamory could have saved them", but after dozens of episodes about how the boy doesn't want to break up with either girl, the movie is about that breakup, and about how much it sucks to break up with someone you like and enjoy spending time with, and about how it damages not just the relationship, but also the friendship, and about how this directly hurts someone you care for. Which is certainly a much more mature theme than you'd expect from a movie that finally gets the main couple together, but also, oof.
And yeah, the movie is the most visceral, brutal depiction of heartbreak I've ever seen. It's amazing that it came from the same team that made such a lackadaisical TV series.
It technically wasn't even a breakup, since they were never together, it was just him putting his foot down and saying 'look, this isn't going to happen, please accept it'. And sadly, she couldn't.
They didn't do week by week because Crunchyroll did that with the JP release. This is a secondary release, which is great for more people to get to see it.
In other words, Season 10 is all your fault!!!
