BE AWARE THAT THIS MOVIE WILL HURT YOUR EARS WITH DESTRUCTIVE AUDIO. IT WILL EAR RA** YOU!!!
NOTE: I have yet read Volume Six of NGNL, since i have LITERALLY 20 other Light Novels to read.
Also, this was early in the morning. so i might do some changes later.
This film has so much potential... when it came to the Trailers, your thoughts are "The animations are beautiful, the story sounds well compose, the reviews are at its highest in japan.
But, Let us move away from all that hype and take it to an expectation. True, the art is beautiful for each character and background character,
...
which makes every character in the story seem like they all have a part in the movie. Immanity, the Dwarves, Flugel and the Werebeasts - They were unique.
The music is well compose making what would've have been the most dreaded moments of the film to the most eye catching moments. I thought the sound design will over take the film, thankfully, i was wrong. For each scene, the sound became equally impacting to meet expectations.
Every fight made the film feel like every battle feel was at it's last.
Here's the problem.
I'm not going to say the film was horrible... but even the producer told us the film had a lot of talk about "What would be best for this film?" He even stated a few staff disagreed to the original concepts.
There's a lot of problems that would've made this a great film.
Screen time. Screen time bled through this movie, and i mean a lot. I notice a lot about how the film is mostly the relationship or "Bond" between the leading characters, NOT the prolonging war between the gods. Which was fine, yet the film was always set on "The Moment"... which was always them together and having mostly One on One time.
A few pointless narration. Look at this, God says this is the world you see, just like the trailers, then Riku does one narration after another. And it gets really dull since you hear the same thing multiple times.
The support characters are barely there. Stephanie Dola's ancestor is there, but that's the only character who builds the illusion of a support character. Their worth only grow once you see their plan's moving forward.
Obviously, the film's antagonist is the other Ixseeds or races, but they barely even show. Jibril VS Shuvi is the most exciting scenes you can actually see the antagonist fight one of our leading characters. That fight, was also, one out of the three small screen time battles you will see in this film whether how big the battles get, the only long battle we had in this anime was Jibril VS Shuvi and that's really it.
This film is mostly life for Riku rather not Immanity. Did i forget to mention that it has more than one Introduction scene.
i know this seems like i'm attacking the film but i'm being ambiguous as possible to NOT spoil this film too much.
I really did enjoy watching the film. The animation and the gorgeous Music/Sound. The battle among the Ixseeds was kinda left out... The incest... again, being ambiguous on "Incest"... well, the film mostly compose of the lack of support and character development any where besides the leading characters. If you watch this trailer again ---> https://youtu.be/0i1AxFdlu0M<--- You'll realize everything i said in this review is literally covered in the trailer. You don't even need to watch the movie, unless you want to see how the war really ends. Or at least the seldom of action sequences. But, yeah, check out the film, Both the Sub and Dub did such a great job!
