![]() Let me offer a few prime examples: first, there's Yuri himself. I just hardly cared about most of the characters, and even the ones I initially liked ended up disappointing me. I actually quite liked him!) I'd say this was my second biggest issue with the show. Don't even get me started on the wizards I was supposed to care about! (sans magic Bakugo, AKA Velnar. ![]() Even among Yuri's core group, I probably couldn't name all the characters. I'd say that a good 80% of them were either completely useless, just entirely uninteresting, and/or not memorable at all. However, I have always been the type who can sort of just accept that things are happening regardless of whether or not they make sense at the time, and the story wasn't too disjointed, so my problems in that area are minimal.īut as I stated above, the characters were not so easily forgiven. I get that there are OVAs before this as well as a whole game, but for dweebs like me who just want to sit down and watch Chain Chronicle without all that extra baggage, it's a bit irksome. The plot had the tendency to throw concepts and new people at you without really explaining who or what they were. What did bug me was certain story aspects, and characters. There were a few piddly things that sort of bothered me, but didn't really effect my overall enjoyment, such as Juliana's half-hearted voice acting, the moments of what I deemed unnecessary fanservice (*cough* witch lady! *cough*), and the way people lapsed into magical 3D animation time every time they fought (though strangely, this only happened about halfway through, which makes me think that the art team got lazy?). There's nothing quite like a good ol' fashioned medieval fantasy to lift your spirits after all! I wanted to get that bit out of the way so everyone may know that I am by no means hating on this show, but that being said, I did have some problems with it. The animation was good, I loved the soundtrack, and, despite many shortcomings, there were some characters I liked as well. Let me start off by saying: I really liked this anime. This is a spoiler-y review! Just warning you now!Īlright, I'm not usually one to write reviews, but after watching this, I immediately turned on my favorite tunes and settled in for a long rant. Side Note: Hopefully, we will get a prequel, which I'm sure has great potential - of course with the good ending ^^ But, whoever enjoys awesome battles and incredible soundtracks and even those who don't should give this a chance. Maybe this anime isn't the best out there and it has many flaws like the substance of the story. ![]() The always fitting soundtracks, especially in the important (battle) scenes, were what kept me watching and whoever the singing voice of Musica is did the greatest job ever (Listening to her voice made me fall in love). The story of this definetly isn't bad, but what really stands out positivly are the animation and especially the soundtracks (it shoud be over 9000, but however). And, so the story unfolds where both have to prove wether the trials fate has set for them will break them or make them stronger. However, he regains his hope in form of our second main character Aram and decides to put his faith in him in order to defeat the dark king for good. Having lost against the dark king despite all his efforts left him hopeless. The reason might be that the focus of the story lies more or less in the struggling and growing of two characters: On the hand we have our experienced hero Yuri who wasn't able to live up to expectations everyone had for him. It might seem a little hard to bond with the huge amount of characters but it's possible to follow the story without knowing their background. If you want any information on the pre-story you have to play the game, because this anime begins where the game ends (to be precise it begins from the bad end^^). So what is this story about ? It begins rather unconventional in the middle of nowhere - it's like diving into the story by watching season 2 of an anime without any means to get season 1. I will try to avoid spoilers as much as possible in this review, so lets begin:
