Some thoughts on Blue Reflection Ray

I don't usually write about anime, for some reason I just wanted to write a few words on it

mostly to take my mind away from other things and because this anime is kind of underrated

no one really talks about it anyway because what is a blue reflection?🤔

Keep in mind this post is written as of episode 22 I think I have seen more than enough to write

a post about it, funny thing last week I was playing Arise and for a moment I was like hey a new

episode is out but my mind instantly went nah and then I had to watch two eps the next week.💀

This actually worked in my favor but you know that feel when you can't be arsed to watch it weekly.

They truly got me though cuz I was interested in how it would tie to the games... sigh

 

Pro's

- The characters.

 

Con's

- Literally everything else.

Needless to say since i'm discussing the series as a whole so there are some light spoilers.

Wasn't sure if I was going to write about this game... or even like it cuz at first sight

it seemed rather edgy with some shining tears/wind vibes.

Just by watching the OP you could see what i'm talking about that is if you're familiar with that trope...

So my initial impressions of Tales of Arise were kind of hmmmmm? its no wonder after

what happened with Zestiria and Berseria trying to fix it that bait and switch mess

either way I was pleasantly surprised Arise turned out better than I expected!

Pro's

- excellent story(better than i expected atleast).

- a likable cast of characters that can grow on you.

- Plenty of side content to keep you busy.

Con's

- Bosses can be a bit unforgiving.

- CP system is terrible.

- Loading screens are a plenty(kinda makes me nostalgic) 

There won't be any plot spoilers discussed in this post but there will be a few screenshots without much context

I should add here that there is a minor one in a screen but I don't really consider Alphen's mask thingy

that much of a spoiler considering one could unmask him with dlc stuff right from the start (weird)

needless to say I had to add this warning here since this game is fairly new i've made

those screens as small as possible so you can scroll past however considering the jpn

twitter openly posted artwork and you can see his face on dlc item the dev's didn't really care......
