Yeah, I’m late on my thoughts on the movie but does it really matter? Of course not, since I’m going to jump to my main points. I’ve anticipated this film ever since it was first announced and now that I’ve finally seen it I’m blown away. Sure, it is a retelling of the first few episodes of the first season but it largely improves on those episodes with magnificent theatre-quality animation, the return of the superb soundtrack and an excellent movie theme/insert song by the lovely Kawada Mami and ED theme by Love Planet Five. There are a few things that are different though the main one is the ending which has Alastor with a larger role than before, basically laying the smackdown on Friagne in epic proportions. I think I watched this at the right time as well since Shana Second, so far, hasn’t been as exciting or epic as this movie is all-around. I can only hope that the second season starts to have a similar pace as well as a battle as intense as Shana and Margery vs. Friagne.
