I'm a hugh AMG! fan, so I was really looking forward to this special. I have to say, I came away a bit disappointed. It was good but not really as great as I was hoping/expecting. The animation was nice (except for a when one of the fights degenerated into a series of still-shots), but the story seemed much too rushed. Given more time, this could have been expanded into an epic story arc to rival the "Lord of Terror" arc from the first season of the TV series, but instead we get a pale shadow of that drama.The characters were also, I think, short changed due to insufficient time to handle so many properly. Peorth for example could have just as easily been left out all together for as much impact as she had on the story (sorry Peorth fanboys!) and Urd was given little more. The handling of Skuld's subplot (if you can even call it that) was probably the most disappointing of all. The only one that recieved any real development was Lind, but even in her case I think she could have benefitted from a bit more time.

So, while it still may be a "must-see" for AMG! fans, it just is not all that "special". (!__!)
