I'll definitely be on the lookout for a sequel, should an anime be made from the JRPG. The episode fulfills its role well, given its limitations. The build-up of the setting was fun - as someone who is a sucker for epic-type storytelling, watching this episode was definitely a good time.
The action sequences weren't particularly amazing but still kept me watching. The whole episode felt like a fleshed-out opening cutscene for a video game. Nothing remarkable with the characters, truth be told.Īs a prequel episode so-to-speak promoting the game, I had a good time.
While archetypes are present, they aren't expanded upon, given the nature of the length of the episode. My issues with the characters are the same with the story - there's only 40 minutes of material to observe. VERY reminiscent of video game music, and with good reason. The tracks used to compliment the scenes worked well, and that's all that matters in my book. The last scene of the world following the credits deserves much praise - it really sets up the feeling of the adventure about to begin.Įpic. The art is rather familiar in regards to UBW - the characters are well-drawn, complemented by very appealing backdrops, from the Castle-in-the-Sky-reminiscent ruins to the cloud-covered landscapes. This is my second time watching a Ufotable work, the first being the new Fate UBW.
However, as a stand-alone, the episode leaves much to be desired, despite concluding the small-scale story presented within the context of the episode. Given that this episode was released under the pretense of promoting a JRPG that's to be released in late-January, it does a Much doesn't really happen there is a small direct conflict physically portrayed in the episode, and then the conflict mentioned but not shown as part of the world-setting/backdrop. There isn't much to say about the story - it builds up a world, but it's only within the framework of roughly 40 minutes or so. First time ever writing a review, figure it's a new year, time to try writing reviews.
