I am not exaggerating this episode was a lesson in storytelling. We learned the name of all the main characters of our new party, the name and some of the backstory of the main antagonist, and we could relate to the struggles of the main character.

In just the first ten minutes, we have a full three-member party in an arrangement of scenes that included full dialogue, character building, and battles. And just like that, I knew that the following 25 minutes were going to be epic.

I don’t how you felt at that point, but for me it was like Ufotable was saying “This is important”, “it’s not just another character, and we just replaced the classic music intro for an awesome intro scene and just a logo”, “pay attention”. Just as soon as the camera focuses on an overhead portcullis (which is all you need to know to deduct that the girl is a prisoner) the screen shows the Tales of Zestiria the X logo. Just her feelings and her hatred towards ‘that man’. She starts to narrate her feelings, not a backstory or hard facts. I want to know who she is, what is happening. She is struggling to keep her composure and I am struggling with her. While the opening credits are still rolling, the woman engages into battle with several werewolf-like creatures. The dark and gloomy setting was accompanied by an equally dark and gloomy music as the dark contrast focused on a new female character (we already knew from last week’s preview that there was going to be a break from Sorey’s story). I felt like I was watching an anime movie, a stand-alone production than a separate episode. It starts right in the middle of the action with the opening credits just accompanying the scene. Do you want to know why?īecause this was one of the most concise and awesome opening scenes I have seen in a long time. I am really looking forward to it in every episode. I love that Celtic melody at the beginning that slowly build up to that incredible refrain. If you’ve been reading my reviews, then you already know that I absolutely love the intro by Flow. After the first five minutes of this week’s episode I had my first serious opinion on a production studio:įrom now on in my anime dictionary, Ufotable is a synonym for quality. Since here in Manga.Tokyo we are trying to change that attitude by giving a little more attention to the creators, I’ve been trying to change my attitude as well. Maybe I am one of those clueless anime fans that are too lazy to bother with the studio names and the creators (a shameful trait that I am really trying to change) but I’ve never made the connection between titles and productions.
