Coyote Ragtime Show was not short of a great experience. I won't go into the plot, because it is already explained in the synopsis. I will say the story was a little confusing jumping from episode one to two, but you catch up very quickly. After that, it is an anime that is very well written and really enjoyable. This is an anime that can easily be watched in one sitting due to its very well done story and suspense. However, the pacing was a little too drastic at times. Where it would be so high octane one second, then the next it is very ... mellow, which can take you out of the experience and really bored at times.
I watched this in dub, and was very excited to hear some very familiar voices such as Chris Patton, Luci Christian, and Brittney Karbowski. The dub was done very well and all of the voices did not seem out of place.
The art is very early 2000's which is what you should expect from an anime that came out in....well 2006. Even for 2006, the visuals looked fantastic and really colorful at times. Other times... It was a lot of dust brown and black. But that is also because the last quarter takes place in a desert section of a planet.
I highly suggest everyone to at least give this a watch. I suggest you buy it even more because the rewatch value is pretty high as well. There is something I feel like everyone would enjoy so don't hesitate to try this one out
9/10

I feel like the whole extra edition did one of two things: Add that swimsuit episode that they did not have, and build hype for the second season. The reason this score is not lower because I really enjoy Sword Art Online and anything involving it.
I was fooled by the 100 minute "movie". The first 70 minutes is recapping what happened in the first season from different perspectives, but still using all the same footage. Like those flashback episodes in 90's sitcoms.
Here is what the extra edition did right:
Built a LOT of hype for the second season
Taking the time ... to recap what happened was a good concept so people who watched Sword Art Online a while ago can remember what happened
What they did wrong:
They took WAY too long recapping what happened.
The reason Suguha is learning to swim and why they are doing the quest was honestly really anti-climatic


If you are a huge fan of the series, you will enjoy this movie, if not, you might not enjoy this as much. For me, this was a little bit of a let down because I thought something was going to be shown in SAO or ALO they didn't show in the first season. Either way, I feel like the biggest SAO fans will feel a little let down from this movie.
