Ordinal Calibration is everything you need and more than from Sword Fine art Online. It's more than of the same notwithstanding at the same time it ramps things upwards in a fashion that online putting out a picture can provide. The plot is interesting fifty-fifty though it'southward the same thing that happened in a lot of anime of the same genre. The characters seem to either have learnt from their time in the previous games, or simply ignored it completely. The introduction of Yuna and Eiji works well and the progression that the two take throughout the movie is what holds the whole thing together. Out of all the returning characters, I was most impressed with Kirito. Out of all of them, he was the ane who went through the almost alter from Sword Art Online 2 to Ordinal Scale. Kirito doesn't like applied science and only jumped into things when he was pressured to by Asuna or when people are in trouble, only to discover that his personal laziness has rendered him useless in battle in Ordinal Calibration. This was amazingly realistic even though it was dropped mid-film due to the plot'southward needs. Also the callbacks to Sword Art Online are well handled to the point of really existence shocking… Then there is that tease at the end of the movie… ARGH!!!
The blitheness quality of Ordinal Scale is something to exist cleaned upwardly. Given the 4 years since annihilation Sword Fine art Online was animated you'd think that they would exist able to proceed the quality consistant, only nope! The animation, equally you tin can clearly run into from the screen shots used in this review, goes from amazing and detailed to Sabbatum morning Pokemon levels. I hope that this will exist addressed in the eventual Bluray/DVD release downward the line. Another matter that did go to me during Ordinal Scale was the plot. While there was a twist near the stop that made information technology all necktie together really well, you could see all the connections the second the new characters appeared and things began to happen. Information technology'south a shame since things worked out and so well in the stop and there was the promise of more to come.
Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale is one of those movies where y'all get more than of the same from a franchise that just has a few stories to tell before it's run out of things to tell from information technology's Calorie-free Novel beginnings. The idea of making something relatively new-ish from afterwards content worked well for Ordinal Scale, but at the stop of the day information technology just felt similar more of the same with a predictable second half. But I'm not unhappy with seeing it, in fact, I was buzzing virtually it for hours later on and tried to rail down as much data about all the things that happened in the motion picture as I could. I can't wait for the Bluray either.
OVERALL: 4.five out of five Stars
