Medieval adventure is one of my favorite genres of anime. Not just anime, actually; also movies, books, etc... So, Chain Chronicle was very fun to watch because of it, but it has some problems that kind of messed up my immersion in the world that's presented. The main problem was the story. It's about a group of people that, in order to restore peace and save the world, go fight a dark army that has taken command of the world. Even though it's ordinary, it ain't bad. The main problem there is the story telling. It's like if the story begins in the half of itand they don't show the real beginning. You just don't understand what happened in the past and how has this dark army taken command, and, so, you feel lost in the story. I didn't play the games, so i don't know, but it's a problem that can easily be fixed in the next movies, so let's hope they fix it!
The art is great. It is really well designed and they present to us a fluid animation in the fight scenes and in all the other aspects. So, it fulfill the criteria. The sound is also good, but it isn't outstanding. Actually, i just finished this movie and i don't remember any tracks from the OST. But there wasn't a single part of the anime that i felt like something about the sound was missing.
Another major problem is the character development, but it's more of a consequence of the problems in the story than a problem itself. Well, you just can't like a character judging only the appearence, the style and the personality of it. The main thing is the background of the character, at least for me. And if the story begins in the half of it, you don't know the background, you don't know who are the characters and how did they get where they are. Then i didn't care about what happened to them. But again, it's also a problem that can easily be fixed in the next movies. Let's hope for it.
So, Chain Chronicle is a good anime with some problems, but people that like medieval adventure will probably enjoy it, generally speaking.
