Medieval adventure is one of my favorite genres of anime. Not just anime, actually; also movies, books, etc... So, Chain Chronicle was very fun to watch because of it, but it has some problems that kind of messed up my immersion in the world that's presented.
The main problem was the story. It's about a group of people that, in order to restore peace and save the world, go fight a dark army that has taken command of the world. Even though it's ordinary, it ain't bad. The main problem there is the story telling. It's like if the story begins in the half of it and they don't show the real beginning. You just don't understand what happened in the past and how has this dark army taken command, and, so, you feel lost in the story. I didn't play the games, so i don't know, but it's a problem th…

The story began with a twist; the hero, Yuri, lost against the Black King in the Imperial Capital.

Though this may be because it was quite evident that the world was falling into chaos due to the Alliance’s defeat at the Imperial capital. There were riots…

I'm a fan of the mobile game, and still play the Japanese version after Scumi shut down the English server. The story in-game was more generic and unmemorable.
But this movie was different. The story takes a different route where the Hero doesn't defeat the Dark Overlord and instead gets cancer and PTSD. It was an interesting and darker twist; and definitely has more potential than the story that the game had. The animation was stellar.
It's no surprise the anime had an overload of characters, but the designs of them all were great. Most side characters have one or two quirks, but the main ones like Yuri and Amat get quite a bit of development even though Yuri was just the self insert in the game. The Sages stood out to me the most; they're the crazy and over the top ones.
It was more…
