And the final battle...

Yuri restored while Phoena uses her power to help everyone. I must say..Yuri and Aram make a better team than enemies. Chain Chronicle overall was a pretty straightforward show. I'm probably not going to give the games a try as it doesn't interest me.

It was ok. I'm happy Phoena is still alive and Pirika is back.

I realised something at the very last episode, the Tv version's quality is actually better than movie version. Some background/skill colouring has a tiny difference and brighter. One example below:

This is movie version,


The current Tv version(better version, you can see dark barrier clearer),

The episode was the same to the last part of the third film!!!
This episode is a episode very comun, full of cliches, and end open to new adventures!!!
Can you image, the dark is elimated, all the characters are alives, and begin a time of prosperity, but this is this end, BORING!!!!
This series, the best was the characters, like it.
The worst, the plot, unpalatable!!

6/10.

In many RPG fantasy anime, this Chain Chronicle series should be come up as one of the top or even the best(Despite many members said plot is stupid/cliche and such).
But then you don't really find "MC become evil" and "The good lose their 1st battle against evil" together in same genre series.

The OSTs and action/animation really is better than others. I mean look at other RPG fantasy animes, their action is boring and quick pace/short duration. Whatsmore this kind of large scale characters series up the barrier even higher.

Easily get 7/10.

Btw as a RPG player, its very cool to see:
-Tanker use sheild skill in action
-Cleric use the cage skill on dark Yuri
-and power shots from bow

The fight was pretty cool. Pirika returned back to everyone. Phoena is still alive because of her father. This was a decent show.

Nice to see that it was a join effort by Aram and Yuri's friends in order to save him.

Also good to see the black kings returning to his true self for a short while so he could save Phoena.

That dragon battle was pretty good.

And that is the end of a pretty good series/movie, I enjoyed it a lot.

Though obviously they could have made it look better, AND without knowing the context you feel left out of some things, but overall it is a decent participant in good versus evil crusade.

I liked it! The dragon fight was awesome and I'm glad no one ended up dying. Well, besides the Black King, but at least he died happy. Yuri's return felt a little anticlimactic though after all the build up.

Yuri turns good again. His new armor looked pretty cool. I'm pretty disappointed he never ended up doing some really evil stuff while he was corrupted. I liked the dragons fighting tho it was really short.

Just my finals thought on the show. All the girls in this show looked great but the show was pretty mediocre overall.

Thanks to this final, so daring, very lively and compelling, I would say that this series deserves a little bit more than I had budgeted. If not for the plot a bit obvious, the end result would have been better, of course. Very nice costume design, as well as backgrounds, even though the characters do not feature too, were to my liking. Unfortunately it was a missed opportunity for the middle, this anime series.
Really nice all end-card at the end of episode. I forgot, also very beautiful soundtrack.

Damn, that was actually really awesome. An epic ost to match one hell of a final battle. It also ended on a nice note - with Aram continuing the cycle by drawing in comrades just as Yuri did for him. A complete 180 from his previous life of living only for himself. Chain Chronicle emphasizes the importance of bonds, as that was the main difference in how Yuri faced the black king at the end as opposed to the first episode where he felt he alone had to carry the weight of the world as a hero.

Chain Chronicle, for all of its imperfections, managed to do two big things for me that really stood out. The first was its sense of adventure. Maybe it's just because I recently re-watched the LOTR trilogy, but I couldn't help but think about the parallels of watching a small party setting out on a journey to save their world.

The second distinguishing feature was the presentation. The saying "style over substance" often carries a negative connotation. In Chain Chronicle's case, however, I beg to differ. The main reason I enjoyed watching this was because, well, I liked to look at it. As opposed to other shows where the CGI tends to stick out like a sore thumb, CC manages to cloak it well while making the most of it. Chain took the reins on trying something new and managed to develop its own personalized style.

Overall these two traits - adventure and style - are what won me over in spite of the other qualities that Chain Chronicle lacked.

Series was okay. I liked the action and the different chars and the fantasy setting. Some episodes were 8/10, some were 6/10. Most were 7/10. Staying with 7/10 at the end.

Did not like the final battle that much. But it was okay and the ending scenes after the battle (Aram and the boy with the apples) was nice.

I liked those battles with larger groups/armies better. (Previous episode with Shuza joining at the end was the best.) But I guess it was necessary for the plot to end to focus on the small group of Aram + Yuri and the others and not giving Shuza a lot more screen time.

I like fantasy so this would be a fun game to play I expect. The cast is pretty vast and I liked them all for the most part. The adventure component is always rewarding. That aside, this adaptation does the best it can but falls short as it's expected to for viewers that no nothing of the game. Still entertaining at segments but overall it was nothing more than fine.

I'm glad finding someone who has the same thought as mine. This anime would be great as an Role-Playing Game. I would love to play it. The large cast of characters are unique and well-designed, something memorable for a long time. However, it's somewhat lacking as an anime.

So the fairy girl disappears for the entire series, only to be brought back somehow in the last few minutes? Okay...

Nakama power and good triumphs over evil and all that jazz. I think my favorite character was the evil Oni dude. At least he was keeping it real.

I like how now former black king collapsed after saving Phoenna and no one even gave a shit, no one even turned to see what happened to him. LMAO. Who cares for an oldman right LOL
In the end that was pretty good anime with incredible characters 10/10 for me, the character design especially :O too bad most of them weren't developed or we didn't see much of them since there are TONS of characters 40+
Also i'm a shadowverse player and a lot of characters were similar, maybe that's why i loved characters so much.
Music, sound, art, animation top notch 10/10 That OP and ED song Ahh <3 i also liked how we got beautiful art at the end of each episode.
The story is one thing i had problem with. also wish it was more episodes and some parts weren't rushed.
8/10 in the end.

Where did Yuri get the fancy white armor?

Oooh! Dragon fight! Pretty!

Also, that shield -> archer scene was great.


4/10 (below average)
I wonder if the movie version might have been better. The anime suffered from poorly placed scene cuts too often. Action/animation quality was quite nice. The plot was alright. Characterization and storytelling were almost non-existent.

There were far too many characters for the number of episodes, making it seem rushed. The entire anime felt the same as a compressed summary movie of a longer anime.

That's finale was really great. The teamwork of the different classes and Aram/Yui were nicely done.
And for once, the boss was impressive and had several form, it looked like a good final fight of game.
Phoena also used her power to save everyone :).

Regarding the anime, Chain Chronicle could have been very good, but the way they skipped too many scenes made it hard to understand. Fortunately, the animation of actions is beautiful, which compensates the story (especially the last episodes) that are full of cliches.

Overall it is not bad.

So the reason the volunteer army didn't won at first was because they did not have Aram the OP character. Yuri was right to roll the gacha to get Aram to win.

What I'm disappointed for is some interesting characters in OVA do not appear or got sidelined here. Pirika only appear for 2 episodes, Yuni only talk like 1-2 lines, Touka talk for about 10 seconds, and Nympha does appear at all even though they're in the first anime key visual. I want to see Knuckle the glowing guy too.

Good ending, Yuri was always gonna come back and eventually win.

But I guess I'll never fully understand it all unless I've played the game. Unless this was meant to drop us in the middle of the plot and we just accept and take it from there

I really like the fact that the anime was story focused action packed anime without any unnecessary drama. The beginning was confusing as it was a continuation from the game I assume but it wasn't complicated to understand.

Having never played the game, I felt that the lack of any sort of initial summary episode was a very negative way to start the series - Especially since this series came out AFTER the game was closed down (in the west).

Overall, this was a rushed, trope-heavy series that was... Barely enjoyable. Points for character design and the animation wasn't bad, but the background music was forgettable and the OP/ED never made me want to sit through and watch them after the initial.

6/10.

meh guess this is yet just another promotional anime for the game.. story probably works for a game format but it's far too weak for a proper series. Very generic script as well as far as conversation/dialogue between characters.. characters dont really stand out..

Not a show worth the time watching.

Wonder why so low ranking I really loved this anime (putted into favourite). The only bad thing in anime was: it missed too many information for someone who didn't play the game I had problems at start to understand what the hell is happening(ova wasn't enough it needed like 40-50 episodes to know backstory) but then I somehow connected what everything happened and I start enjoying this really good anime full of actions, adventure,magic without pointless comedy or parody (its hard to find good fantasy anime without that) and also it had also some looses not only full wins like in any "evil vs good" stories

This is clearly underrated. It's not a top anime, but it's better than some which are popular. The CGI was off at many parts but I enjoyed it nonetheless. 7/10 for sure. I loved Aram as a character! My shonen trash heart was happy!

It'd have been better if they made an ova with a prequel...like how Yuri and Phoena met...how they make a party etc.

Overall awesome animation which makes up for the plot. Was gonna give 8...but 7 cuz Yuri didn't got much spotlight.

Great ending even if the story telling was rather, to be honest, boring... good animation and battle scenes though, especially the background, the characters and their designs were spectacularly well made.
The song True Destiny by Nao Touyama made this series bearable to how the battle scenes and OSTs should be executed.
I actually love the story but disliked it on how they made it boring by making it too fast paced.
8~9★ would be the appropriate rating for me.
P.S. This is what a fantasy story should be like (and what I love about retro RPGs) but sad to say I didn't get the chance to play the game as the Eng version was removed from GPlay.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
