Teiruzu obu vesuperia: The first strike (2009)

Teiruzu obu vesuperia: The first strike: Directed by Kanta Kamei. With Ryuichi Azuma, Troy Baker, Christopher Bevins, Patric Carroll. In a mythical kingdom, the mighty Imperial Knights harness a magical substance known as Aer to power their weapons and protect humanity from the monsters of the forest. But something strange is afoot. The Aer is somehow changing, causing the wilderness to waste away and stirring the woodland beasts to attack with greater frequency. As danger creeps steadily closer to civilization, two young recruits – Flynn, the rigid son of a fallen hero, and the rebellious and brash Yuri – must ride with their fellow Imperial Knights to distant ruins in hopes of uncovering the truth behind the transforming Aer. Some will not survive the thrilling journey. Some will be betrayed. If Flynn and Yuri cannot overcome their differences and learn to fight together, all will be lost for the people of the realm.

“If you are a fan of the game, then thereu0026#39;s no doubt you will love this movie. I went in with no expectations, except knowing that itu0026#39;s a prequel. That being said, I was very impressed by not only the quality of the movie, but the pacing, character development, seamless crossover between the prequel and the original game, while introducing new characters without harming the original.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story was simple. But very effective. I really enjoyed the Yuri/Flynn bond throughout the game, and it was great seeing the roots of it in this movie, while also getting some more back story on Flynnu0026#39;s past. This movie had be laughing at loud at some parts, and crying at others. It was a roller-coaster of emotions, but it was a complete package.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI didnu0026#39;t feel cheated or upset by the way things were done, in fact, I think many other game to anime adaptations should look at this movie as a role model. Simply perfect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really enjoyed it, and Iu0026#39;m certain so will you, perhaps even if you have not played the game. Definitely check this out!”
