Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shou 1 - Tomodachi · review
So I will say that my score of 6 is really because I didn't expect this to simply be the first part. I dunno, the ending really left me cold. I wanted more, but not because it was so good. This may have come from the fact that I knew a bit of the story already so had expectations that weren't met. One thing that I really did like about this movie was the character development. Especially for Washio (Tougou). I still want to know where exactly her nationalism came from since she's just as nationalistic as she was in YuYuYu. Like...did she learn something thatsparked it, or was it something that came from the family she lives with? It's odd since literally no one else seems to feel the same way she does.
Her relationship with Gin and Sonoko is great as well. I do like how she wasn't sure if she could trust those two, especially with the way they act. But through the course of the movie she see their strength and talent. It was a really nice touch and watching them blossom into real friends with them.
I'm not an animation expert but I think the animation here is really well done. Maybe even a little bit better than the animation in YuYuYu, at least in the transformation sequences. I do hate the fanservice on these 12 AND 11 YEAR OLD GIRLS!! It bothered me a lot, but they don't transform all that much really. I'm still salty about it though.
All in all very enjoyable and I'm glad I watched it.
