Reception

DVD Talk wrote that the movie was "basically a clip-show" and that while the action was polished, it had "a rushed, incomplete feeling" and was for "fans of the series only".[4] A reviewer for the Anime News Network gave an overall positive review but mentioned that the film felt like it had been overly edited.[5]
