Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Movie: Orion no Ya

Continuing his adventure to get stronger in order to traverse deeper into the "Dungeon," Bell Cranel wanders the Orario city streets with his friends and the goddess Hestia. That evening, the city is filled with stalls and games as it celebrates the Holy Moon Festival.

Hermes, a god, hosts one such activity where participants are asked to pull a spear embedded in a crystal boulder; those who succeed will receive a special gift: a trip around the world and a divine blessing from the gods! Bell and his merry group challenge one another to claim the prize. But behind the facade of an innocent party game lies a preface for a daring quest ahead.

The first thing I have to point out is that I'm a big fan of the DanMachi franchise, so I'll base my opinion on the original material and everything I know about the dungeon universe.
Although the history of this movie is original and not present in the novels, it is very well built and makes us want to know more about Artemis, a great character.
About the plot: It is built on the basic premise that a problem occurs that only the protagonist and his "Family" can solve.
About the new characters: Hestia's relationship with Artemis is a lot of fun to watch, a great character that ... I will definitely seek to know more about from her past, I loved this character.
It's just beautiful the end of the movie, I highly recommend if you did not watch and like the series give this movie a try.

Mixed Feelings

One month before the release of Danmachi season 2, they give us a movie preview, I was able to attend, and as i only watched it once, it is not impossible that I might forget details or make a mistake.

First we will start with the scenario, honestly it's a very unoriginal scenario, starting on a new quest from the moment Bell was chosen by a weapon. I find that the plot is also far too predictable,there is also some fan service scene, probably for the comedy side. The movie being released as a preview I do not prefer to give too much detail on the ... story.

Regarding the animation, it is not bad but also nothing exceptional, the fight scenes are not incredible or even bad, including the fight against Antares (who is animated in 3D) but maybe a certain scene can give more than interest to the movie. The sounds, like the animation, is also nothing impressive, quite trivial OST.

Finally characters, I personally think that this is the biggest highlight of the movie (maybe you do not agree with me), in my opinion, Artemis is the one that gives the most meaning to this movie, it's a character unique to the movie, but also the one I find most endearing of all Danmachi. I hover over the details, just to tell you, where are the interesting points and where are they not, without spoil you.

In my opinion this movie is clearly not to look absolutely, but if you are a fan of Danmachi, you will probably like it so if you had not enjoyed the first season, you probably do not appreciate this movie.

Although it is a review I avoid a maximum of spoil since many people read the reviews to decide to look at it or not.

Story: 5, Art/Animation: 5, Sound: 6, Character: 8, Enjoyment: 7.

I hope I don’t have too much writing error…

Dan Machi has always been a hit or miss franchise. There are elements that give it an edge in enjoyment, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly what they were.

Arrow Of Orion stands out in a landscape of mediocre anime works with its listless story, its uninspired characters, and the sheer amount of wasted time. From the onset, what was most noticeable was the sheer amount of wasted screen time. Bloated exposition and travel scenes, languid action sequences and uninspired dialogue created a forgettable 80 minute run time.

Frankly, the character of Bell has always been one of the weakest aspects ... of Dan Machi, from his insipid behaviour combined with his overpowered powers to the typical harem weakness of "everyone falls in love with him" for no reason. Throughout this movie, his relationship with Artemis is hammered home as being very spiritual and deep, yet at no point does it feel genuine. Most of the relationships in Dan Machi aren't much more than skin deep, but the relationship with Artemis feels even more so.

The art is par the course excluding the CGI scenes which are awful, flat out. They not only jar with the artwork style, but are poorly animated to the point of discomfort, especially when the shot holds on the poor animation for large periods of time.

The most noticeably poor element of the story was the utterly drawn out and predictable plot. Without spoiling anything, from almost the initial appearance of Artemis, the outcome of the story is extremely evident. Even the concluding action sequence isn't enough to save us, and the final boss being a CGI atrocity is certainly not enough to redeem it.

In conclusion, save your money, this one's not worth it.
