While the movie I feel is good, I am somewhat disappointed at it. It pains me to say this since i'm a big Tanya fan. One of my big problems for the movie is that, while the movie is action packed, battles are quite often short or skipped, then summarised. I feel like I was constantly being teased with those battles with really no pay off until the final big battle. Another problem I have is with charactor growth/arc. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't go into details. I feel like the main atagonist Mary Sue's arc was just way to speed up. She went from trainee to Tanya's level super fast and without us seeing much growth other then like 1 skimirish. I also feel the ending wasn't very satasifying as it mainly serves to setup for another sequel.
The animations and visuals with the movie budget certainly improved and looks very good. However, this might just be a personal preference of my, but I still don't really like the character designs. As I much prefer the Manga character designs.
While I at the end enjoyed the movie overall, there is just too lot's of problems that I dislikes. I think they just tyed to cover too much things into one movie, thus lot's of things feel rushed to me.
