Reviews

According to the Japan Times felt that "production values are high: The film's high school resembles a casino for high rollers in a 007 and a political flick." It also called the tone "more comically ironic than melodramatically overwrought."[5]

gollark: This is funnier.
gollark: The alternative would be to actually engage it in combat and use a lot of Last Stand enchantments, but no.
gollark: As such, assuming I could do all the infrastructural setup, I can just set up the ritual thing very carefully, bait the chaos guardian into going near its area of effect, and then [REDACTED] it utterly.
gollark: Astral Sorcery has something which can freeze nearby mobs. It appears to work on chaos guardians.
gollark: So I don't like it, and I don't want to do the boring thing of making draconic armor and using its "literally unable to die" capabilities.
