After destroying the naval patrol sent to investigate the disturbance, the two beasts then turned against each other.Witnessing the fight from Japan, scientists Joe and Marie Hayakawa were sucked into the rift. Upon returning to Earth, they compiled and published the academic findings from their voyage in a legendary book titled ''Day of Succession''. Attempting a second expedition to that other dimension twelve years later, the couple have not returned.Twins Ai and Yu Hayakawa decide to set forth in search of their parents and the mysterious Wonderland they studied. In the ruins of an abandoned subway station, the two wait for a train to take them to the world beyond. On board they meet Lisa Pacifist, who quickly decides to aid the two in the search for their missing family. Can the three of them manage to find Joe and Marie?[Written by MAL Rewrite] MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters & Voice Actors Staff Maeda, Mahiro Director, Storyboard, Key Animation, Character Design "Over the Fantasy" by Kana Ueda 1: "VIVID" by Fairy Fore (eps 1-13) 2: "Romancing Train" by Move (eps 14-25) Reviews May 22, 2016 This was a very different kind of Final Fantasy I'm used to, but coming from a Final Fantasy fan since over a decade now, I didn't expect it to be just another sword hack-and-slash anime trying to copy the games. I enjoyed it very much, even rewatched and shared with my friends.It's much darker and creepier than I imagined it would be. The story was pretty great and original, and the characters were likable. The character's did, however, seem to come right from a children's book, which, at least to me, added to the effect. I recommend the subtitles though, because the english dub for... Ai and Yu are hard to listen to; they sound like they are just reading the script. The summoning scenes is easily noticeable redundancy in the show. I found it hilarious really.

See how the anime stops at 25 episodes? It was originally supposed to be about 50, with the ending actually being just about the halfway point, but had to be cut due to multiple budget cuts. There are published versions of the rest in the form of light novels, but none have been officially translated. That, and it's an FF anime in the... way other FF games are tied together - recurring creatures, a mechanic named Cid, a few notable pieces of music, and a couple other misc features. Do not go into the series under the thought process that it's just like the games, because it's a completely separate medium.If one can look past these things, and without going into story details, it's more or less remnants of a project that probably would have done a lot better if the creators of it were given the means to do so. The music has a unique feel to it, and while the animation can be rough (especially early on) in some parts, there are others later that look quite nice. Things are really rushed in the last few episodes due to the mentioned budget cuts forcing them to find a half-decent stopping point, but it's a fairly simple series to pick up and put down whenever since the first half is more episodic while the latter half is more serialized like a typical anime. It's fairly dark for what you might think as an FF anime, but subtly so. A lot of it comes from reading in between the lines and might not be apparent immediately.You'll probably be able to enjoy it for what it is if none of the circumstances surrounding its creation bothers you and you go in without expecting it to be like an FF game. Personally, I love it with flaws and all, but not everyone will. Give it a shot, enjoy it if you want to and move on if you don't. It has some problems, but they're more a result of unfortunate circumstances than they are anything else. Reviewer’s Rating: 6 What did you think of this review?
