Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: Star Sage

In my view, a solid ending to a slightly above-average show. Once again, the 3DCG animation, while generally tolerable, manages to deliver a few noteworthy moments here and there. However, it doesn't quite reach the level of exceptionalism or stand out as the best in its category. The musical score falls into the realm of average, lacking any particularly memorable tracks. It serves more as a background complement to the atmosphere, that you probably won't even notice and it certainly won't make you search for the soundtrack. The narrative picks up where the series left off, with some logic holes and occasional instances of characters acting silly. The main problem, leading to a global threat in the end, stems from a misinterpretation of a written text. This underscores the importance of not just reading but truly comprehending the message. Despite these narrative hiccups, the world's lore remains a highlight for me. Most of it is presented interestingly and acceptably, even though certain aspects were hinted at in the series. While the film isn't exactly mind-blowing, save for the ending, it lands as a decent watch, earning a 6/10 rating from me. (28/12/2023)
