With the first part being less than great and the second being a fair bit better, the third and final part to the Tales of Symphonia story, and thankfully it makes for a nice conclusion.

The Short Version:
(+)A satisfying end to the series.
(+)The characters come full circle
(+)Sound is again back to form
(-)Yet more Houdini characters (They appear then disappear)

The Story (8/10): This is the point were the overarching story that begun in part one and was in the background for the entirety of part two, reaches it's ultimate climax and my god is it good. Having more modified than change the original objective, the span of the story has increased while somehow feeling as focused as it was in part two. Surprisingly, there is a theme within the story, and it's a problem that still exists in our actual world. Prejudice. This question makes think for a little bit in-between all the drama and such, and it's refreshing for this series, that previously didn't really have a question or meaning at all, tackling a concept that is so prevalent and obvious in today's society. (Although I have a problem with one scene that has really out of place humor)

The Characters (8/10): With the entire cast already having plenty of previous screen time, each of them individually feel like proper characters (In my review for part one I said, "None of these characters can hold the show by themselves." I take that back for this part.) As for what comes with the conclusion of any given anime, revelations between characters are made, every secret is revealed, and the villains motives are brought to light, which in the case of this anime are actually rather grounded compared to other extreme examples (I'd compare the final goal to Lelouch's from Code Geass). The villain himself though believes in 'the ends justify the means' approach to things.

The Art and Sound (8/10 & 7/10): The art just keeps getting better as this series wears on, it is much more standard for ufotable if still a bit downgraded, but it is an improvement from the previous entry. (I'm pretty sure this is because the upped their game with their lighting and shadows).

The sound is also an improvement from the last entry, the OP has again to the level of part ones but it's more akin to modern day OP's with the momentary rapid score then slowly down to a more steady pace before picking back up as the episode name pops up, the ED is still on the same level as the previous two though, just with up-tempo vocals this time. Everything else when it comes to sound is good enough to be considered standard but nothing really jumped out at me and made me say, "That one part was great."

What do I think of this anime?

This was a fitting ending to the series, it's just a shame that you have to go through two lackluster entries to get here. I can not suggest buying this series, it would be preferable to stream the entire show.

Would I recommend this anime?

Yes, without a doubt. I still highly recommend that you go back to the start and work your way back up to this point, but yes. Please watch this show. Just remember, since this is a threequel, you'll have to watch the first two parts of it in order to get here, and they're not really the best material to watch.

Goodbye my brethren, see you in the next one.

Also: I'll be posting the same review for all three seasons, since I made a general review for the series, not the seasons in separate.

Ok, so if you guys don't know, Tales of Symphonia is one of my FAVORITE animes, along with the rest of the Tales of Series. After i finished ToS, me and a friend had found other animes in the series as well, which we both love to death.

So my friend said she found an old read more

Tales of Symphonia is my favorite Tales game( My first) i have ever played.
