Viewing Notes
Watching this is the equivalent of going to a Fathom Events anime feature film based on an existing TV series and not understanding a thing that’s happening. Was a mistake to request this and watch it without watching the series first. This feature film drops the viewer right into the mythology of the story without any kind of explanation of who or what is going on. I had to check the Wiki page to get a foundational grasp but still doesn’t explain the characters or relationships.
So basically this is like watching a bunch of flashy colors and characters fight each other with zero reference and a complete blank stare as it’s happening. Doesn’t it make it bad bc that’s more on me but it does highlight how films of this nature are very ineffective unless you’ve been following along all the way, whether it be TV or other films. Think Avengers Infinity War.
Gonna have to be more observant when I decide to request anime films in the future.
