I won't be light on this review because it just so happens to be the first anime I was introduced to after a long break from my childhood. The entire series if you have not yet read it was a huge roller coaster ride from start to finish. It takes you on an emotional trip on just about every level. If anything I highly recommend this series if you are able to look past the lewd character design and fan service.
So the Story: 6
Simply put it doesn't live up the potential of the manga. I know that many people don't like comparing the two because
...
so much NEEDS to be cut from it to fit on screen. This isn't an excuse to butcher the entire ending for the sake of having a product out there. The film, while not doing the Manga any justice at all does deliver on some major plot points. Yes, everyone dies. Yes, the whole isn't real. Yes, Tomoki is pretty much the only "real" person in the series. But you CAN NOT fit all this into one single movie. It just doesn't work.
Art: 8
Can't complain much here. It falls in place with all the previous parts in the series. I'm only giving it an 8 because personally the style isn't meant to be artistic. Of course this is entirely my opinion and take on the art style.
Sound: 9
Believe it or not the sound is amazing! I have yet to purchase the blu-ray, but the 1080p version of this online sounds great! Of course you can't expect much from a series like this but for what it's worth its good.
Character: 5
I have to say I am a little disappointed in this. We are never properly introduced to many of the characters nor are we told how many characters came to be during this time line. Of course if you have been reading along with the manga you would know exactly whom everyone is. But if you entirely focused on the Anime up to this point, you'd have no idea who these people were.
Enjoyment: 7
This is entirely on your own opinion. Personally I liked it just because it was more SnO. But realistically I would be surprised of anyone really enjoyed it. Does not do the series justice, all it really was, was a filler to the ending.
Overall: 7
Like I've said before this series DESERVED another season. Of course we may never know the true reason behind why the other season was canceled but if I had to guess it would've been budget cuts or loss of interest at the company. Honestly, if you are a fan of the series just watch it for what it's worth. Look past the story and just remember that this is the last time you will see a new animated series with out beloved angels.
