A sequel to the TV Mini-Series aired in 2011.If I want to talk about the movie,I think I should talk the prequel first, which is what builds up this amazing piece of art that is my most favorite movie I've ever watched.
It's a show following 5 main characters in a theme of magical girl protecting the world from a dangerous threat. At first glance, this looks like a typical good guy vs bad guy anime that you would find very commonly in the old days. However, as the most common idioms goes "don't judge a book by its cover" , this is exactly what this movies is about. The show pretends to be cheery, bright and full of magical stuff you would easily get bored with for the first few episode, then, it tears down all of your expectation. All of that sweet colorful storyline is just a cover for what really is inside this movie. A psychological-horror style genre that follows a tragic story of hopelessness of a character.
Now, about the sequel, I really love that they stay true to the prequel. It starts off with a bright cheery music and theme and then later on reveal the real tragic truth just like in the first one.
The music, is still amazing as always. It gives off a magical style vibe that you would certainly recognize. Following the same style of first one. Some feels sad. Some are really epic and intense.
The action scene, though quite short, was done amazingly. The fast paced and intense battle utilizing each character uniqueness really brought an unexpected most satisfying scene into the movie.
The storyline is what shocked me and what made me love this movie so much. Just when you thought that when everything was over. The good guy win. Everything could end beautifully, but then that wouldn't really fit the nature of this movie. A huge twist that no one expected came out of nowhere. Thus, created the biggest cliffhanger I've ever witnessed.
In conclusion, I just love every part of this movies. It's a very unique movie in its own genre. The storyline that includes more realistic view of this genre and features both depressing and hopeful emotion to the viewer is what got me hooked to it. It's one of the best movie I've ever watch and would recommend to others as well.
