We know what we love from OOO, the twists and reveal! But, this one hour is too short!

Sadly, Ancient OOO resurrection not fully explained, and the show lacks screentime to show the world after the enemy is defeated. Well, we know there will be a normal world from Fourze OOO movie even though that one is still questionable as a canon or not, but that last scene where Ankh is still using Shingo's body made me wonder what will happen to Shingo afterward(iirc, Ankh came back in Fourze OOO movie with Shingo's body, so Ankh maybe still using the body and doesn't age). Still, they have duty to explain what is going on after this movie.

It was a very fun ride, but I want more! Hope they release a novel of what happened after this movie.

You got this stunning shots and timelapse from Shinkai's studio. You got nice and so clean character understanding. You got this experience of film making industry you wouldn't ever think you will get in anime. You got hot turn of drama and bloodboiling turnouts of events even if you already know that they will success.

In this movie, you got introduced by talented, and professional people doing what they wanted to do. Then, we got introduced to people who has the passion but never tried before, challenging their passion to get what they wanted.

It is a beautiful animated work with no e OSTs and neat fun music scores, followed by what sometimes you need to do to chase your passion.

To those who are familiar with the legendary anime, Evangelion, you would know just how much that show referenced about religion. Mostly Christian, I guess.

This Zero One movie referenced so many things that Evangelion referenced that I couldn't see the writer isn't inspired by Evangelion.

Alone(almost) in Train, check. Esu has similar aspects as Gendo, check. A body with no leg being hanged with cruxified pose, check. Names that were on bible, check. Hell Rising made me remember Berserk Eva, check. Layers of dark red circles in the sky, check.

All of what I mentioned happened in Eva before the last movie. I don't really understand Evangelion, but I watched all the movie and tv series to at least remember those scenes.

Back to Real X Time.

For action, it is cool. For story, it's above average I'd like to say. So much better that what they did in the TV series (letting Gai free to make another Aruto vs Gai episodes. I think at least 1 cour used for them to glare at each other). I can't agree what the TV series wanted to say with story like that, but this sole movie is a lot better in conveying what it wanted to be. I appreciate the movie a lot in that aspect. Sadly, the Zero One Others Movies writing and direction are worse than the TV Series that I laughed when they tried to do long rotating shot with Valkyrie being so small when she got her new form, and when Vulcan Lone Wolf henshin shot after punching then sudden cut to he's on ground(you are floating and didn't land bruh, it's better to do it on ground from the beginning if you forgot to take the landing or the aerial henshin scene)

The action, forms, and CGI quality is pretty high for something Japan Produced even though they don't blend them too well (the background and the characters). For the VFX of attacks when it's not aerial battle, they are good as always.
