Story:

Expelled from Paradise is an example of an interesting premise on paper, but poorly executed. I honestly couldn't recall the story from memory. Most of the story is sidelined while we focus on the two protagonists.

Characters:

The film stars the protagonist whose most notable feature is her name, Balzac. At the beginning of the movie, the movie makes it *very* clear this character is underaged while showing her bare breasts (she's listed as 20 on the site, it's complicated). Kajiwara makes it clear her character design is made for a "lolita look". Balzac's personality consists of whining, complaining, and more whining while in her skimpy outfit. ... Boob giggles don't count as personality.

The character Kajiwara has a dry personality as well but at least shows some human characteristics later on to not be complete robot.

Animation:

The animation consists mainly of 3D rendered animation with very brief shots animated in 2D (I recall two being used). The film attempts to grab the viewer's attention the best it can bit gratuitous fan service and the best animation at the beginning, but it's all downhill from there. To give the movie credit, the character models are at least decent, but it lacks any sort of personality to differentiate itself. Only two scenes actually impressed me in the entire movie, the rest was bland cinematography.

Overall, the movie is a generic good vs evil. Nothing special.
