By far the best navy based anime series to have ever come out. i just loved it all the way. you can tell they put there heart and souls into making this movie. the action scenes alone are god like...i mean really the entire second half was one big naval warfare...it was truly amazing to watch it. It took me so long to finally give it a watch cause i so wanted it to never end. now i am a bit sad.
This is such an underrated series, i wish more people would know of it. the animation in this one really improved that there were times you can not even tell it was CGI. Sanzigen you did a good job.
well there is still the manga series and maybe one day when the manga series is closer to be finished, they might do another remake, this time based on the manga storyline. this series warped everything up nicely but there were still a few plot holes..mostly cause those plot holes dont have a clear explanation yet in the manga,,, such as who made the fleet of fog and what the admiralty code really is and since the manga is still ongoing they cant do tat explanation into the movie.
Having said all of this... You should give the original series a try and than watch the first movie and than this one and you would have a solid storyline with great action sequences and character development that would leave you feeling so satisfied,
The Soundtrack in this is very good, especially those used durng the fightining, it is subliminal enough to not be a distraction and yet hardcore fitting into the fight sequences perfectly and the ending credits song..wow...it will leave you feeling so sad. can't say cause of spoilers (ssshhh)
Also despite the use of CGI animation that might leave you turned off..trust me this is one of the better ones to use it,,unlike say Ajin... The use of CGI in the Movie is even better as you dont even notice it.
I highly recommend this to those who love Science fiction, Warfare, Action Sequences and a Naval setting. Especially fans of naval genre. AS this is probablt the best navy series that has ever come out as an Anime form.
Either way a sold 9.5/10 . i just wish more people would know if it. :D
