Really good recap, if you don't want to re-watch the whole season 1 again highly recommend, instead of using tons of cuts they are speeding up some events and just telling the most important things that happened in the ''sped up'' scenes so your getting everything important that happened in season 1 in just 2 hours with out having to re-watch the whole season again. For a recap they did amazing job, its not perfect but for a recap it is really well made. So in the future if there is a season 2 this is a better alternative to watching whole season 1 again, highly recommend.

I love both the manga and the anime for Paripi Koumei, but this was... not good imo. I understand that cuts and changes have to be made to fit a 12-episode show into a 2-hour runtime, but some of the cuts are nonsensical. I mean both that they left things that are just filler for the scene, but then either condense entire episodes into a 10-sec montage (and then STILL leave out scenes! the entierty of Kongming+Owner talking to Jet Jacket from episode 3 is just... gone. not even really touched upon in the short montage), or cut it entirely. Not only that, I also meanit literally. Ther were several places where they edited the shot in ways that don't make sense, like cutting from Koumei making one expressions, doing a very badly cut to what's clearly a different scene, and then show him making another expression.nnThey removed a lot of things that add depth to all the characters, or gloss over them in a way that it just feels rushed.nnSo yeah... I can't recommend it. If you have already watched the show, there is nothing in there (other than the tv-ending being played with new animation with the characters on stage), and if you haven't, you're way better off watching the show.nnThis is 2 hours I will never get back.
