I recently watched Date a Live: Mayuri Judgement and I thought I would write a review about it. Without further ado let's get started! • Minor Spoilers •
Date a Live has to be one of my favorite anime, and my first ever ecchi anime. And of course, once I learned it had a movie I rushed to watch it, and I'll have to say that I wasn't disappointed.
~ Story & Plot ~
In my opinion the story was...okay. It wasn't the best story that ever existed, but it was neither the worst thing story ever created in the anime industry. It was on the average side. The story was pretty simple, and I like it for that. Personally, I would have to say the ending was a total letdown, I feel as though they could've done so much more with it. If it wasn't for the ending, and some parts I disliked I would give it a 10, but I feel as though it deserved a 7.
~ Animation and Art ~
Like the previous series/prequels, the art and animation was superb. The animation was incredible in my opinion, and it fit the anime like all anime should. The art was amazing, but I am not a fan of super sparkly art, so this in my opinion deserved an 8.
~ Sound and Music ~
I guess the music was okay. It wasn't really memorable, since most of the time I couldn't hear it, but I really loved the music that played during Yoshino's date. Sound, as in voice actors and actresses was great, since I like all the seiyuus involved. Each seiyuu's voice fit their character every time. I'll give sound and music an 8.
~ Characters ~
I loved all the characters! Each character was memorable, and unique. While, at first glance the characters are just simple character types ( For example, Tohka - Main Girl, Yoshino - Cute Loli, Kotori - Imouto, etc ), but once you look past that they are more then just simple stereotypes. But, Mayuri could have had a lot more character development, but despite that all the characters and character development were great! I think I'll have give “ characters ” a 9.
~ Overall ~
Overall, in my opinion, Date a Live: Mayuri Judgement was a good anime.... err movie! I enjoyed it to the end! I wish it could've have been longer though. Everything came together in the end, and made the movie complete ( well, except the ending xD ). I feel as though Date a Live: Mayuri Judgement deserves an 8!
