Otherwise any otherĬhanges are along the lines of music, one of the songs is unique and I don't remember it being in the original anime, taking the place of Hanezeve Caradhina from episode 1. One that comes to mind is the scene with Habo. The episodes were also edited together in a way where anything important isn't lost, but the slower scenes are cut away. With the inclusion of a brand new intro we get to learn a little more about the characters, I won't spoil who.

Though the movie is a recap of the anime that had aired in 2017, the movie does a great job of bringing the entire experience together. TLDR: The movie does a great job of recapping the anime, but have no fear nothing important was left on the cutting room floor. If you can afford only an extra ~90 min to just rewatch season 1 instead of watching both movies, you will likely have less regrets. I have slightly better hopes for the second movie when it reaches the US, as it should be a bit easier to fit only 5 episodes (one of which was double length) into 2 hours, but it will suffer the same problems. Ultimately, I feel this movie is only for the die-hard fan of season 1 who doesn't have enough time to just rewatch it, which is a pretty limited audience. I personally did find some enjoyment in it, just not nearly as much as watching the original. My friend has much harsher words for this than I do and felt it was somewhat a waste of time. I guess it does do what it's supposed to do - it was just a recap. As for my friend and I who had seen the anime, we either would've preferred to have just rewatched the anime or wish they had made an OVA instead (which we had never thought of before, but suddenly really hope they make one).
My friend likened it to watching an anime or movie on Youtube that was cut up and jumbled to avoid copyright infringement. So going back to my original question, who was this made for? It definitely wasn't made for anyone who hasn't seen the anime before, so I highly discourage anyone from recommending this to get someone new up to speed if/when season 2 rolls around.
I feel the movie needed to be at least 20-30 min longer, as too much was cut. I hope you didn't care about Kiwi, because almost every appearance of his was cut, and any background for when he does speak was cut. Habo just bursts out of nowhere because any appearance of him in the chase scenes were cut (as was all but 1 other scene with him in it), making that whole part just about Riko and Reg relaxing, then rushing, then relaxing again, and ended by an unintentional borderline jumpscare. Near the end of the orphanage arc, Riko runs off crying, then shows up at the beginning of the next scene maybe 20 seconds later perfectly okay as if nothing ever happened, because several scenes in between were cut. We filled him in the best we could after, but he said he needs to read the manga to answer all of his confusion.Įven though I had watched the anime fairly recently, there were a number of moments that caught my eye as being jarring due to the bad pacing. He had a lot of trouble following the story, and needed to make a lot of assumptions just to keep up. Our friend who hadn't seen it kept making comments like "I didn't understand _ until an offhand comment later on". My friend who watched the anime and I kept reminding each other of our favorite scenes that were skipped, and there were a lot.
Up messing with the pacing of the story, and everything felt way to rushed. The original 8 episodes don't have an hour worth of fluff to cut, so a ton of minor scenes that gave important background end up getting cut. Condensing about 3 hours of anime down into 2 hours means that a lot needs to be cut out. This movie is a recap of season 1 from the beginning to the end of episode 8 or beginning of episode 9. The question we asked ourselves when leaving was "who was this made for?" I went to watch this in theaters with 2 friends - 2 of us had seen the anime and the third had not.
