Overall, this is a great remake that stuck with the ORIGINAL storyline. Thankfully they didn't "SNOW WHITE" the movie like Disney's latest remakes. This was a pretty LITERAL interpretation with a few flaws. Hiccup was very well paired, Astrid was a bit disappointing and seemed forced and they didn't pair the twins well. It did lack some of the emotion that the ORIGINAL HAD and the biggest gripe, IT WAS DARK (Lacked Contrast) AND BLAND at times. You had the characters and background blend in or faded into one another. This lack of contrast made the movie overall rather bland. Still, glad we saw it on the big screen and it was worth the experience. DON'T EXPECT TO BE BLOWN AWAY, but it was good. If they continue, I hope they work on the vibrance of the movie and brighten it up a bit. They could've done better and that would've made it great. SOLID SIX FOR US.

The storyline is pretty good. Some of the characters are hard to take even in small doses. The English Dubs, Subtitles, even the Japanese Voices are at times ATROCIOUS. This makes it hard to watch but with a little patience, the overall value is worth it and is enjoyable to watch. Has the normal crude toilet humor and eye candy as perversion that ONLY the Japanese can come up with. At times it is super hilarious, and the actions scenes are great. It's one of those that with time it grows on you. The change in the characters ages is strange to hear the same voice in a different body or younger body. There's the strange incest, homosexuality and other relationships that take a disturbing yet comical approach. Overall, it sorta becomes addicting to watch just to see where it goes and NOT in the way you would think, but more of "WHAT ON EARTH WERE THEY THINKING TO COME UP WITH THIS?" sort of way.

RULE OF THUMB, HAVE PATIENCE AND IT WILL PAY OFF IN THE END.

Asta, Yami, Yuno, The Black Bulls and the rest of them, grow on you.

So, what is it about, Asta and Yuno are two orphans that were raised by a nun and priest with a pact to become the Wizard King. Only problem, Asta was born WITHOUT magic in a kingdom and world where MAGIC is everything. As such, Asta has trained his body to be strong and his determination gets him through the toughest of situations. He was given the power of ANTI-MAGIC and is bonded with a demon. He doesn't know how or why but as he grows, so does his knowledge of demons and how to control his Anti-Magic powers. With his new family, the Black Bulls, a group of Misfits that is the worst of the worst, grow to unimaginable strength as they learn to grow and work with one another to be the strongest they can be.

Ends up being a pretty good watch once you get over the dubs in any and every language.

I know people for the most part LOVE this series, but the stupidity of how everyone defends themselves is ludicrous. For Zombies that are supposedly attracted to sound, the writers went out of their way to make sure they make as much sound as they possibly can. From the canon to the motorcycle. The farm in Season 2 was pretty bad. Takes 3 seasons before they start using hand to hand weapons. The fact that they added "WE'RE ALL INFECTED" at the end of the 2nd season, well, that adds many, many, many issues. You get to the town, well, being homicidal when you could have TRAINED military personnel on your side, NOPE, they go with "LET'S EXTERMINATE THEM ALL". At least with the town they showed some defensive barriers in "THE WALL". Get to the prison, sure, they have a fence, if you're there that long, you would think they would ADD more defensive barriers. They did at least add home made not so loud "wannabe silencers" (which by the way just make a gun able to fire at a sound that is at a safe level). They only have one character use a crossbow and one a samurai sword. Which is cool. They should use more bow and arrows and at least call a BOLT by its proper name and STOP calling it an arrow. Now, if you want to make a zombie movie, have some snowplows or dozers just plowing through them and make it interesting. Then you have people who died from broken necks become zombies. Well, even if you have a functioning brain, the spinal cord would make it pointless. Too many zombies as well. If you have a swarm and they're eating the entire body, well, can't have that many zombies. The problems with the series pretty much gets worse as it progresses and the characters get dumber and dumber.

It's watchable just to make fun of which is a lot of fun.
