Strengths
- High-quality animation and fluid character movement, often surpassing the TV series.
- Well-paced and impactful storytelling for its short runtime, serving as an effective prologue.
- Strong emotional connection and characterization, particularly in the sibling relationship.
- Memorable soundtrack and sound design that enhances the epic scale and atmosphere.
Weaknesses
- The music, particularly the repeated use of 'Bolero' in the sub, is considered out of place and distracting by some.
- The art style can be different from the TV series, potentially bothering long-time fans.
- The plot and characters are considered basic or one-dimensional by some viewers, especially those not familiar with the franchise.
- The difference in quality between the movie and the early episodes of the TV series can set unrealistic expectations.
