While I can understand why people can not like this series. It has some writing problems and some of the characters are not that great, but it still has something to it. I can of see why some people do not like because it was made into an anime instead of a video game . I really feel this is more of an advantage because I do not think this type of story could have been told throught the visual story style the games had. There is too much fast pace action and the anime format really help in this department. While this series does nothing by itself. Ridding on the coat tails of the two games before this really makes the series. The only way I can descried it is in a Star Wars way. It really reminds me how the Clone wars TV show made the Prequels better. This series made the two games that preceded it better. And that is why I recommend it for any fan of the game series.
Taking a look, a just the Hope Arc while it is good it just makes you wish that this arc is not just one episode. While you can argue that bringing back the 77th class was a bit stupid I find that its pretty cool to see them all fighting and working together. The dynamic between the 77th class and Ryota at the end is very touching. While this is a great scene, I find it really makes Makoto's journey in the Future Arc seem somewhat pointless. While this episode mostly focuses on the 77th class it focuses on them too much. It basically pushes aside all the character from the 78th class and makes them feel not important in this episode. I blame this problem on the arc only being one episode. Also, I hate to bring this up but Kyoko's death. They should have just killed her off. Instead, they are all wishy washy about it because she took some miracle drug that none of the other characters considered taking. They do not even have a good scene to bring her back to life. She just appears for the last scene of the episode during the credits. Overall it's a good ending but it just makes you want more from it.
