Other than those, I liked the setting of the world in this movie. Characters that even though haven't developed much, already has good base to expand. Good animation, interesting mecha designs, and a fair character designs. Cliche story that is played quite well to make it still interesting for me. Though not much character development, this first movie gives a good base to expand in the next movies. Some cliched yet interesting characters are used, it's not really a problem for me since a cliche can be interesting when played well. Which means that there's not much character developments. Sadly, there's only 50 minutes to this movie.

I'm no pro at voice acting, but at least there's no annoying voice acting like those overly moe/shy character voice which is quite prevalent nowadays. Like, the sound of impact of a pressure gun is not as strong as the sound of impact in other mecha shows, since pressure guns are generally weak after all. SFX are nice as well, they are made to be quite 'real'. Music is nice, this movie has good opening and ending songs, and good musics throughout the movie. At least there's no excess of moe/bishoujo/bishounen (they do exist, though at an acceptable dose.) Overall a good art, both in animation and design department.įor me, sound is divided into 3 parts: Musics, SFX, and Voice Acting. Character designs are average, though I quite liked it. As a mecha maniac I liked the designs of the mechas here. They're not as flashy as other mecha shows, yet they're designed pretty well. (This was not said in the movie, but it was said in the manga.) Designs for the mechas are interesting. Though the mechas movements aren't nearly as fluid as Gundams, but I think it's done on purpose, since the Golem technology in this show isn't very advanced as how it is in other mecha shows. The animation is pretty good, the mecha battles are done pretty well.

This is only the first movie so I can't say much about the plot, but I've read the manga so basically I know the story further than what this movie has shown, and I'll say that if the next movies continue to follow the manga, it will turn out to be good. Kinda typical story, a boy who can't use any magic in world where everyone can use magic, but somehow can activated a Golem that no other person managed to activate. And this movie really doesn't disappoint me in anyway. So I was pretty excited to watch the movie, to see what the mecha battles will be.

I've read the manga and quite liked it, though in the manga, mecha battle scenes aren't drawn very well, it gets kinda confusing. Well I was pretty surprised to know that Break Blade got a movie! Talk about being out of date.

Wow broken blade of heroes
