ef - a tale of melodies: Prologue - Reviews

While the creators still don’t understand the meaning of the word “Prologue” at least they came much closer this time than they did for the first series.

Story - 3/10

Much like the first “Prologue” this is more or less a single clip paired with a music video, trying to hype up the second season. This time around they did actually pick a scene that makes you want to know what direction the series is taking, as it focuses mainly on Yuuko Amamiya and a familiar looking, but unnamed, male.

Animation - 4/10

See Series Review.

Sound - 5/10

The Japanese voice track is somewhat standard from what I’ve come to hear when the show has a somber tone. They’re well done, but to a non-speaker they just come across as lacking emotion.

The music video section doesn’t have terrible music, but like the voices it’s similar to dozens, if not more, of series that came before.

Characters - 5/10

While there is very little time spent with the actual characters, they did put them out there in a way that would make someone new to the series intrigued at their actions and words.

Overall - 4/10

The best I can say about this, as a teaser, is that it does it’s job.
