| Summary: |
A long time has passed since the end of a massive war between humans and monsters. A new type of energy named "aer" was discovered. When crystallized, this substance became the energy source for "blastia", an ancient civilization's technology that provided a wide array of essential abilities for humanity. Despite it's manipulation, mankind still has very little knowledge of what exactly is "aer". On a mission to eradicate a horde of monsters near the town of Shizotania, a group of knights comes across a strange surge of "aer". Yuri Lowell and Flynn Scifo are two new members fresh out of the academy of this knight division. Both are childhood friends who went separate ways, but ended up meeting each other once again while enlisting to serve the Empire.
Takes place before the events in Tales of Vesperia the video game. It will show Yuri Lowell's time as an Imperial Knight before all the events in the original game. Many characters from the game will also be returning such as Flynn Scifo, Repede when he was a puppy, Rita Mordio, Estellise Sidos Heurassein and Raven. |

Establishes characters well. You could watch the movie and then turn around and play the game without missing a beat. It flows really well.
You're introduced to Flynn and Yuri and get more of an idea of how their relationship started and why they act the way they do to each other. Other characters are introduced without feeling like they are missing or should have been in the game. No strong attachments are made. It's a great movie and if you love the game you must watch this.
The story is kinda transparent and shallow but the movie focuses more on the characters. It's just telling you what happened before. Explaining who they were, who they are, and why they are the way they are in the game. It's nice to get a good feel for Flynn's background and being able to see more of Yuri's almost anti-hero personality.
The animation is great. Try to find a bluray version if you can spare the bandwidth.
On a side note. I'm not sure if I downloaded it here or not but towards the end the sound drops out and won't come back. Just an FYI.
