Audience Consensus

The audience consensus is that 'Behind the Line' is a worthwhile addition to the Fafner franchise, serving as a bridge between major story arcs. While not a stand-alone experience due to its lack of Festum action, it is valued for its character development and lore expansion, setting the stage for future installments. It's recommended for those invested in the broader Fafner narrative.

Strengths

  • Character development of original Fafner pilots
  • Provides time to breathe between intense arcs
  • Positions characters and lore for future installments

Weaknesses

  • Not a stand-alone project
  • Very little focus on Festum
