Well, at least Orb had some sense as to why the events in the movie happened in the first place. For once, they actually decided to make the villain related to Gai in some way thus, expanding his character and backstory. As for the movie's pacing, I don't get why people didn't like it. X's movie was good but it moved at the "speed of plot", meaning that while it had a steady movement, it still is because everyone acted the way the story asks them to.

Meanwhile in Orb's, the things that the characters do are actually complementary to their already established characters.

But you mentioned that the movie is a joke compared to its series. Let's see, there might be some truth to that.

For one, it did what every Toku is guilty of. The cameos and other unnecessary stuffs. I mean, to be honest, X never really had any relevance other than to lead Gai to Mulnau in an admittedly contrived manner. It was also guilty of throwing off the development that happened in the last episodes of Orb. Now, don't you tell me that Shin and Jetta did not see Juggler fighting alongside Orb against Magata there, because their hostility towards him was a bit unwarranted.

But for me, I suppose the worst offense Orb's movie did was that it didn't quite have the heart and kinda pales in charm when compared to its series.

Woop, dug a bit deeper than intended.
