very slow and seemingly nonsensical story that only makes sense as the narrative approaches its conclusion? check. the side characters and antagonists are much more interesting and fleshed out than the happy-go-lucky main character who is a walking plot device? check. memories being altered, influenced, or erased by being tied to emotions? check. emotions being used as a resource or catalyst to reach this grand collective entity of emotions? (Fragments = Hearts) check. a grand collective entity of emotions that holds absolute authority over all emotional power? (The Common = Kingdom Hearts) check. over the top light/darkness motifs that really hammer home how edgy this is? check. the main conflict of the narrative centers on opposing ideologies on how feelings and emotions should influence relationships with others? check. main characters that fight with weapons and powers that are the manifestation of their emotions? check. Let's go over the similarities between Blue Reflection Ray and the Kingdom Hearts series. The singular reason why I personally enjoyed Blue Reflection Ray so much is because this show is the closest thing we have to a Kingdom Hearts anime adaptation.
The rating reflects (haha this guy is funny) my bias that comes from how I interpreted the narrative and plot points of the show. This doesn't mean that this show is some hidden gem of an underrated masterpiece that I think literally everyone should be able to enjoy, far from it. noticed my score is very high for this show. Getting into reviewing the actual anime, you have already probably
Disclaimer that I actually haven't played Blue Reflection, so someone who actually has can correct me on this because their opinion will be more valid than mine. So it should be fine watching this without playing the game. From my understanding none of the main characters (Yuzu and Lime are recurring side characters) and plot points carry over from the game, so it definitely qualifies as a spinoff that uses the concepts from the in-game universe but nothing else. Blue Reflection Ray is an anime spinoff for the PS4/PC game Blue Reflection released in 2017.
