Quick take: K:7S S:B gives us the origin story of SCEPTRE 4's power and influence. If you liked the original series K, you'll like the second movie in K:7S. The story line is decent, but lacks much of the charm and mystery the original series provided. I found the story to be slightly better than the first movie, but it still lacked quite a bit of depth leaving many serious and tragic moments feeling extremely lackluster. Art is good and on par with the original series, much like sound. Much of the great music is back, but there are also new tracks which I felt didn't liveup to the original. Voice acting (Japanese) is good, but for the first time, I have to say I preferred the dub voice acting from the original series in my opinion.

Characters are fair, but again lacks the depth the original series offer. I found the character arcs somewhat lame.

Overall, I enjoyed K:7S S:B, but don't think it's anything better than a good anime.
