![]() Although it did not nearly meet my expectations, I did enjoy it, in fact it had me wanting much much more. with all of them complementing each other.Įnjoyment: Ever since I played the game a few years ago, I loved the movie cut scenes, and always said that they should make a series just from this, and now that they did, I had to watch. The characters are fun to watch, there are many personalities, serious, nerdy, naive, kind, etc. ![]() There was some progression, such as with Sheena and Lloyd, and change of character with someone else., but there wasn't much gradual change. The soundtrack wasn't bad, but nothing memorable, personally, i got kind of bored the OP, and ED.Ĭharacter: The characters never had a chance to progress, mainly because the series was so short. You'll recognize many of the voices, and I they fit the characters well. I enjoyed the voice acting more than I did the music, mainly because of a very good cast. Sound: I assume sound means the soundtrack and voice acting, both of which I felt were okay. ![]() The characters are drawn well, and all the animation is smooth. Although Gainax doesn't produce the OVA, the quality stays. And if you've played the game, you'll be disappointed only because it has sooo much potential to be a very good anime series, but it cuts short :( Assuming you haven't played the game, there'll be some plot twists, and should keep you interested.Īrt: If you've played the game, then you've seen the movie cut scenes that show up every now and then, and seeing as how Gainax produced those scenes, it's understandable that it was high end animation. Now, I won't say this OVA won't be enjoyable if you haven't played the game, but you will notice that there are big gaps in time which they are supposed to be filled in in the She is joined by her friends and they go on the journey for her to become an angel, which she needs to become to save the world. Story: This OVA is based off the game by the same name 'Tales of Symphonia' basically there is a girl that is the 'chosen' and she is to go on a mission to save her world from dying of a mana shortage. However, despite that, it's still a pretty enjoyable watch since there's a lot of emotion and, well, it's really just fun to follow it along, even if you haven't played the video game. The fights were very short and curt, and rarely involved a lot of intricacy or really just intensity, especially the battles against the seals. They didn't really get too develop themselves very much, which is unfortunate and disappointing, but I don't think it is fair to degrade the show for that, since it's simply 4 episodes.Įnjoyment would have been a 9 if the battles were better. The characters are all pretty cool, and each have a different personality, making them very likable. The ED is actually a song that Collette, the Chosen One, sings in the series, so I guess it was a nice idea to have it as the ED. It, for some reason, just felt so perfect for the overall mood and tone of the show. The OP, I feel, couldn't have been better for this OVA. The background music isn't spectacular, but serves its purpose and is fairly good. The voices really fit the characters greatly. The voice acting really couldn't have been better. It's more of a simplistic style, which is actually quite nice. Everything is nicely drawn, and the motions are pretty fluent. The artwork is similar to the cut scenes from the video game. The OVA ends really like only about half-way through the game, so it does not give you a feeling of closure whatsoever, but that's exactly why more episodes are supposed to be made at a later date. However, after Lloyd (the main character) learns something serious about becoming an angel, the story takes a pretty big twist, which it pretty interesting. It starts really being a kind of 'save the planet' storyline, as a girl who is the Chosen One and her friends set out for a journey to a tower where she'll become an angel and rescue Sure, it's based on it, but it's not gonna be an exact copy of it. However, I don't think it is quite right to say that just because of that the story isn't that good. So, the story is the same, however theres quite a few parts left out. Well, this OVA of course comes from the video game Tales of Symphonia.

For god’s sake, “SERENITY NOW!”Īnd finally, “Serenity Now” in our knowing better. Or when we feel so stressed that we justify not taking our run, yoga class, mindful walk or meditative break, and just keep chugging away, mindlessly. Or when we get home and we’re so exhausted that all we can do is eat dinner and crash, missing quality time with friends, family and self. We want to yell it when someone changes a meeting on us and screws up our schedule! “Serenity Now!” I just want to yell “Serenity NOW!” and have all my mindfulness practices automatically comeback to me, and find peace and equanimity at the snap of my fingers. I laugh, because right now, that is EXACTLY how I feel some mornings.

The point is, nearly every meeting or conversation I have had in the past 2 weeks has started off with a sigh, or body language, or a pure monologue of exasperation.

On top of this, it has horrific prerendered cutscenes that are extremely jarring for those familiar with Shadow Warrior. The story seems to be completely an afterthought, with the entire focus being on the repetitive combat in small preset circular arenas.
