Anime

By adult I mean over 18-20 years of age and with adult appearances. Nothing against anime with younger characters, but interested in finding some with older characters.

No date announced yet. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

The day a child turns fifteen, they undergo the Ritual of Divine Blessing. Already descended from a line of master swordsman, Elymas was supposed to succeed his father. However, he pulls the defective class, the Heavy Knight, and not only loses his status as future head of the household, but he's also exiled. With their unbalanced stats and seemingly useless skills, Heavy Knights are spoked of as a class for cowards and the lazy. However, Elymas knows the truth. The world he lives in is the same as the one of the game he used to play... It is the Heavy Knight that is the most powerful class of them all. Using memories from his past life, Elymas has set out to effectively conquer this entire world.

The movie just recently became available for streaming, so I got a chance to watch it.

Mostly a recap of the first 2 seasons, but from Nagi and Reo's point-of-view.

I felt disappointed by this:

Nagi isn't the most captivating or motivated character. He has a one-dimensional personality and this movie does nothing to change that.

He spends most of the movie moaning about what a hassle it is to do just about anything: Playing soccer, brushing his teeth, even eating.

Incredible football super powers aside, he just isn't interesting enough to be the subject of a 90 minute movie.

It was nice to watch the group elimination stage from Team V's point of view, but it's presented almost as quick highlights, with maybe the best part being against Nico's Team Y, although more screen time is given to their fateful match against Isagi's Team Z.

And that's a problem, because we already saw what happened in V vs Z in excruciating detail in the TV episodes.

Assuming anyone who is investing time and money to watch this has already watched the show already knows exactly what happens, so what was the value add here?

Although the production did animate just about everything from scratch for the movie, there was disappointingly little actual new story.

And the movie production quality was also not that great.

The TV show is famous for its Powerpoint-style graphics, and the movie was only slightly above that.

It felt like a missed opportunity to "fill in the gaps" of the action that's happening between the Powerpoint slides.

To sum up, it feels like a lot of poor production and concept decisions.
