Watching the movie is a must to help close out some storylines and build the base for the 3rd season, but I was left a little disappointed after a great buildup.
Regardless the important part is the war between an occult based detective agency and the mafia running the seedy underbelly of the city continues!
Pros:
- Strong Characters, even the cliched stereotypes are amusing and well done.
- Actions have consequences.
- Redemption is possible, but it's not easy.
- "Good guys" and "Bad guys" are well balanced (in comparison to each other).
- Excellent Intro/Closing music.
- Resolution on some story arcs, buildup for more to come.
- Main protagonist finally gets over some of his fears.
Cons:
- Movie's ending feels rushed, up until then it was very strong.
- Diamond shapes pupils and irises are not my thing.
- Some shortcuts in the animation when dealing with characters seem from a distance, not a fan.
- Inconsistent animation, much of it is well done, but some distracting exceptions.
Overall look forward to a 4th season if it happens.
