[QUOTE="João Gomes, post: 626330, member: 4426"] Hard agree on the movie vs series question. There's just not enough time (generally) to set up interesting characters in movies vs the freedom the length a TV series affords writers and directors. I admit my basic frame of mind when watching an anime movie is appreciating the eyecandy in terms of animation, background and character design and take it from there. Your example of Suzumiya is a good one and I thought about Fate Heaven's Feel for the same reason: you're already familiar with the setting and characters and so it feels like yet another layer of detail to the universe; it works. On the other hand, this movie didn't even try. It felt like so much time was spent on meaningless stuff.
