Very happy they took their time and didn't try rushing through the content like I expected it to do. This is either a 6/10 (if considering it a standalone product) or a 7/10 (just considering a MLA VN adaptation) to me. Good adaptation, too bad not it's a not so good standalone without Extra and Unlimited adapted as well. Plot, unfortunately quite a lot is cut out and ultimately you're far better off playing the VNs. Animation, started out a bit rough but it's gotten better over time, which is a bit weird. Compared to the VN, this has a poor opening credits song and the credits track don't even get me started! Voices, some ok, but Takeru really didn't have the impact needed.

Sound was good, Music was a bit meh, on the rare occasion they use stuff from the game, cool, nostalgia! The new compositions not so much. But I know these threads on MAL are meant to be specifically about the anime so here goes. In a perfect world you would have already played them before coming into the anime. Overall I enjoyed it but definitely for more depth you absolutely have to play the VNs. She could very well be arrested for possessing uninspected letters from outside, but the anime forgot to add the part where some fellow helped getting sagiri's letter directly to ayamine.Īctually it was there for a few seconds, I believe it was in the forest scene though, not quite the same timing as in the VN. Kei did nothing why would she be arrested? The letter didn't even indicate it was from Sagiri. Why yoroi was arrested, shouldn't it be kei instead?

I will say I did enjoy this anime overall, and I will be watching Season 2 (I’m kinda surprised to hear its announcement lol) but this has definitely made me want to play the games so I can get the story in full and really appreciate this series.īut one thing I’ll definitely always remember is how good the OP and ED are, absolutely love those.

The mecha action was pretty great, but any time it wasn’t happening we were met with a chopped up version of the story from the games paired with not so great art and animation.

I will say I don’t agree with holding the rebels on the same pedestal as the ones that died protecting the shogun, but I did like the shogun’s speech overall.Īnd as for the anime, I’m brand new to the series with this and I can 100% tell this left a lot to be desired without having played the games. Not a bad final episode, we got some more mecha action which is always nice, and this war against the rebels finally ended with the defeat of Sagiri, and it ended with the main cast becoming official soldiers. It will be far from being able to reproduce the wild ride of reading the highest-rated VN of all time though. The second season will definitely get a higher rating than the first if we expect the adaptation to continue in the same way, and the emotional rollercoaster will kinda be there. I am still of the opinion that the fact they strictly follows the manga without paying much attention, if at all, to the actual source, shows a huge lack of sincerity. Having much more time for detailed and realistic conversation certainly helps the VN, but still it's no excuse for the adaptation to make every line so melodramatic and almost comical. If they keep this style for the rest of the series, it's gonna be such a huge downgrade from the original, which was so solemn and nuanced.

But man, how I just can't stand the manga-esque depiction of exaggerated emotion and all that shouting. It was kinda passable, and I think the most important messages Kouki wanted to convey to modern Japan via the coup arc were covered.
