| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well... I' impressed by how much of the story they've cut here. I remember the game took me more than 40 hours to complete, and the series had 2 hours. I'm not sure about how someone that didn't play will understand how things happened, but it felt for me, ignoring all the story cutting, like "That's all? Isn't there something missing? I lost something?". Anyone has anything to say about this anime? |
 |
| Yeah, the game was long. Well, I liked it. Just because it's a long game doesn't mean that the anime has to cover most of its events. I don't think they were quite aiming for some adventure RPG-like anime, where they do all the quests and stuff. They just wanted to depict the characters and the final battle. They had the prejudice against people like Arche. They had the connection between the Tree and Dhaos. They had Chester's inferiority complex. They had Suzu fighting her own people. I think they covered enough to satisfy players and non-players alike. |
grieverblade1 said: never played the game, but I did felt like the story went through by quickly. It's alright, it was enjoyable nevertheless. I agree, the story did feel like it went by quickly and it was very fun to watch. Although I wish they would make more to it. =) |
 |
| 4 OVAs is too short for such a long game, but they pulled it off really well, I thought. |
| It did seem like 90% were cut. Weah... ugly. Will try Symphonia tomorrow. Good that Abyss is at least a full series. |
^_^  ^_^ |
| I have played this game and took me weeks to finish it including the sidequests, too many seens were cut, at least they should have shown how they ended up in the past, how they met each other, how Claus made a pact with all the spirits. Most likely it is really made for those who have played the game. When I finished the anime I said that's it?? Where were all the things that they did... |
CLICK!! |
| I loved it, but my anime friend did not understand the plot. i think they missed the one of the most important things: the part where chester and chess loses the village gets captured and meats mint and breaks out, then meating morrison and dhaos. it needed more detail and they cut too much out, it should have been 13 episode or 25. |
| They left a lot of information that should've been told out... Could of been a bit better if it was say a 12 episode series or 6 episode OVA. |

| The fight with Dhaos was intense to be honest, well at least they defeated him. Although his motivation was revealed of wehat he was doing. The OVS'a were a lucklaster, the story did not go through in detail, character development was dull, and could have been better if it's a 24 episode series. I haven't played the game but I know it is 45 hour gameplay but making this into an 2 hour story. 6/10 |
| Felt really rushed but that's to be expected when cramming a 40+ hour game into 2 hours. Although, I did enjoy seeing everyone fully animated. I just wished they pronounced Dhaos like chaos but with a D instead of Doust. And da bosch plays too many roles in the tales of series; they should have just got the guy that did cress's voice in the gba version to do it here. |
| This show was average for me, it was not so bad but it felt rushed. Even if you didn't play the videogame you can notice that content from the game was skipped, after all this sort of games tend to have a long story. I have to admit that this is one of the few Tales games that I didn't play, so maybe that is a reason why the show feels kind of meh to me. Most of the characters are likeable except for Cless which sadly is the MC, he seems to me like some hot headed raging jerk. I mean, I get that he had a terrible experience and all, but he seem to be the kind of dude that acts more like one fo those secondary characters that rush to the battle just to get insta killed than a protagonist. Worst thing about this is that he will not evolve during the 4 episodes this OVA last, you will see him doing the exact same thing again and again. Maybe he is different in the game, but in the anime he is very unlikeable. The villian who doesn't even seem to be trully evil is just ok, in his case at least he is not annoying like the mc. Big problem with antagonist is that since you don't really know his motivation till the end you can't really sympathize with him, but at same time you can't really hate him 'cause he doesn't really do anything shocking during the whole show like killing one of the party members. Also considering that the Tales series is well know to put in many of its games some villians that are not really evil, you end up guessing since the begenning that there is some reason of why dude is doing what he is doing. I feel that if this show was maybe 2 or 3 episodes longer, they could have been able to develop the characters more, specially the mc which is too generic. |
| I understood everything but the main villain's backstory and who tf that ninja girl was. |

| Short but fun to watch, would like to see more of the story especially what happened to the characters, but I am satisfied with this ending. |
