I've heard of the series before, but like so many, never bothered to watch it. I figured a film prequel wouldn't be the worst place to start, especially because many of these animes work with similar tropes. I didn't have any trouble following what was happening, but apart from the fights, I wasn't that impressed with any of it.

The demons are fun and the action scenes are dynamic and over the top. The characters are very generic though and the drama is overly sentimental, needlessly slowing down the film. It's a typical film spin-off of a basic TV anime, I'm sure the fans will dig it, personally I prefer something with a bit more character.
