Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale
There will be PROBABLY SOME MINI MINI MINI SPOILERS HERE so I'll do my BEST NOT TO SHOW ANYTHING WHICH IS CONSIDERED A SPOILER. For your __SAfety__, DON'T READ MY REVIEW YET UNTIL YOU WATCH THE MOVIE! If you already watched the MOVIE, Feel Free to READ! Sword art online: Ordinal Scale was everything i expected from the Sword Art Online Series and much much more well. And i know people will be wondering is it worth watching, YES!!! YES!!! YAAS!!! YES! IT IS THE BEST MOVIE! SWORD ART ONLINE IS BACK IN AN AWESOMELY GOOD WAY!! If we're gonna get Sword Art Online Season 3coming up this year and they're this good then im on board and I DIDNT EXPECT SUCH A WIDE ARRAY OF IMPRESSIVE THROWBACK AND MEMORIES of the past SAO 1 and 2 and Characters... I HAVE NO IDEA THAT WAS COMING! That i'll discuss later on...
Lets start with the story, <9/10>
The plot is really interesting and really entertaining. There're some jokes in there, mini interesting romances and GREAT CHEOGRAPHY FIGHTING! Comparing this and the old SAO episodes is that, the old SAO episodes have some errors that Itou, Tomohiko, the director have made, and I still think that this is a fun series, and THIS MOVIE! WOW! Itou has IMPROVED and THANK GOD HE and the ORIGINAL CREATOR,Kawahara, Reki KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING! I think they work together to produce this GREAT FILM!
Art <9/10>
Nice animation design! Actually this is the FIRST TIME THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH GREAT and SMOOTH ANIMATIONS! Which i've never seen before compared to other action or whatever animes. and YEAH! NOT BAD. Nagashima, Takayuki, Art director. Im not sure if i miss anymore staffs who are involved with this...
Sound <10/10>
I FKING LOVE THE THEME SONG! LiSA DID A GREAT JOB IN DOING THE THEME SONG "Catching the moment"! LOVE THE THEME SONG! IT'S RIGHT NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE THEME SONG EVER! I WOULD LITERALLY LISTEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Kajiura, Yuki and Kanda, Sayaka, Congrates on doing the music and inserted song. And again! LOVE THE MUSIC! CONGRATES LiSA and the other music team!
Character <10/10>
NEW CHARACTERS, Eiji, Yuna and Shigemura. I would start individually on Eiji. Eiji was one of the Top 2 player and he really wants to show the other players who played SAO by comparing his playstyle 'AUGMA' and "VRMMORPG" to prove that he's the strong player.
Next is Yuna! Oh boy! THE DESIGN OF HER IS GREAT! I ALSO LIKE HER ANIMATION! And i like the way she show her PAST to kirito when she was in or the survivor of SAO DEATH GAME. BTW, Yuna looks kinda HOT!
Finally is Shigemura, well to be honest he has the same plan, PROBABLY or ALMOST like Kayaba..... Well he's okay!
OH WAIT!!! NOT DONE YET!!! There's ONE MISSING CHARACTER which the designers forgot to ADD HER! LEAFA aka SUGUHA! Yes! The movie has every character like Kirito, Asuna, Klein and others WEARING THE "ORDINAL SCALE" OUTFIT!! BUT FORGOT LEAFA!! COME ON!! ;-; I KNOW the movie wallpaper has SUGUHA WEARING THE "ORDINAL SCALE" OUTFIT BUT I DIDN'T SEE HER FIGHTING WITH HER "ORDINAL SCALE" OUTFIT! Without THAT THE MOVIE WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE!!!
Sorry guys, its just that im worried about missing SMALL PARTS from the movie!
Well I still give a 10/10
Overall -
Well, to be honest with myself THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME! THE BEST PART I LIKED FROM THIS MOVIE IS ADDING THE THROWBACKS OF SAO 1 and 2, the OLD OUTFITS Kirito and the others wored, THEIR OLD PLAYSTYLE, MEMORIES from the series, and THE CHARACTERS FROM THE SERIES, such as FROM ALO FACTIONS, Cait Siths, Salamander factions,Sylph AND ALSO SOME CHARACTERS FROM GGO!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Yuuki Konno! I really wanna show some RESPECT to YUUKI because she.....you know..... passed away and that made me sad......and i literally nearly cried in the cinema when i see her popped out in the final battle!
THE THROWBACKS and the PAST SERIES ARE ADDED in the movie, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPECTING and IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I GOT AND IT WORKS!
TO BE HONEST, THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOCKING MOMENTS YOU EVER SEE IN THIS MOVIE and I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WILL SHOW UP!!
WELL! SWORD ART ONLINE: ORDINAL SCALE ! ONE OF MY FAVOURITES MOVIES! GETS THE FINAL RATING OF..... 10/10 !!! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE STAFFS WHO PUT UP A LOT OF FREAKING EFFORT ON THIS SPECTACULAR MOVIE! AND I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH AGAIN so i can recall so.......
I HOPE SEASON 3 WILL BE GOOD. Speaking of SEASON 3, the aftercredits, PROBABLY ORDINAL SCALE MIGHT CONTINUE WITH SEASON 3.... I don't KNOW!!!
Now LETS WAIT FOR THE ENGLISH CAST/ DUB VERSION!!
