[Fish Sandwich]

I finally watched The Legacy of The Master's Soul, after deciding to just wait until I got to Ryusoulger's spot on the Zenkai Tour, and man, did that decision pay off. The way the plot ties right into the premiere feels so so much cooler having just watched it again than if I were struggling to remember it after like two years.

On which note, I still have no idea why this miniseries exists after like two years, but I'm glad it does, because I thought it was excellent. It's written by Ayumi Shimo, though, so that's not too surprising to me. Really, I think this thing ~might~ just demonstrate how she maybe has the potential for a main writer job one of these days? If I might dream? There are a quite few separate plot threads and new characters all mingling together in those 45 minutes, and it's really commendable how fleshed out they all feel in such a limited span of time. The story doesn't ever trip over itself, the returning characters all get their nice little moments without detracting from the real focus... it just left with me with a really good feeling, over all. I literally clapped at the end, because like with all those episodes of Kiramager written by Shimo, I was that impressed by what a well put together story I'd just watched. There's nothing even remotely remarkable about the low-budget action, so it's all up to the script to draw you in, and it totally delivers.

Again, it's weird that Ryusoulger keeps getting these little projects when I don't get the impression it was exceptionally popular (I guess it's one of those ones where the cast and crew are just extra tight then?), but I've got no problem with that when Memory of Soulmates and this were both such fun side-stories.
