Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

For the start, Ordinal Scale is an extremely beautiful movie, which any fan of SAO will enjoy. Having watched it twice recently, I can say, for sure, that every minute was worth watching it. But let's see what specifically was that for: STORY: 10 (personal importance factor [pif] x1.4) The story is original enough, despite some things being repeated. It has to do with an all different gaming genre, AR, where the characters move and fight villains in the real world! Also, the main antagonist, Eiji, is a breath of fresh air as he is a top-rank player and has realistic reasons for his evil actions. Moreover,Kirito is not as strong and mighty as in the series at the biggest part of the movie, Asuna has a bigger role and we get to see more of their relationship. Finally, the end is the best part of the movie and is a lot better than I expected!

The pace was also very good.

WORLD-BUILDING: 10 (pif x1.4)

The world is realistically presented at the rate the plot allows it and the result is more than pleasant. In particular, I greatly enjoyed the presentation of the massive gaming trend the companies tend to create, which reminded me of the transient POKEMON GO last year.

ART: 10 (pif x1,2)

The animation is what you expect it to be in 2017 with an amazing art, full of live colours and well-shown action. It's a good reason to watch the movie.

SOUND: 9 (pif x0.5)

The music is almost as good as in the show and is a beautiful company to the plot. However, for me the best part of it is the Swordland, which we heard in the season 1 for the first time and is my favourite song from the whole franchise.

CHARACTERS: 8 (pif x0.5)

Kirito is the typical character who never gives up and, when the time comes, gets stronger and wins. This fact doesn't change in the movie, too. Asuna gets a leading role, which is one of the greatest things of the movie. As for Klein, Sinon and company, nothing changes.

AVERAGE: 9.7

In conclusion, OS is a great anime movie to watch again and again as the time passes. I can't wait to buy it when it gets available!

In the after-credits scene something great is presented!!! Can you guess what?
