Following its 2019 TV debut Lord ElMelloi II Case Files is back to surprise us with a Christmas special episode / short movie. Its not about the festive day itself its more of a Christmas gift to TypeMoon fans. So if youre reading this and are not fond of the Type Moon universe / Nasuverse or do not really care about Waver and the Clock Tower dont bother watching this amazing episode. On the other hand fellow FZ and KnK fans... have fun The story unfolds in the Clock Tower and has a strong nostalgic vibe. Not in the same fashion as the TV series this time Waver literally wakes up finding himself in the body he had at the Holy Grail War. There are one or two more reasons that I dont want to spoil this episode has this vibe but besides that the mini arcs structure is familiar to us it has a villain who uses Magecraft to achieve a goal backstories character interactions at the Clock Tower Waver his students Reines Gray etc and of course Waver solving the case and explaining the whydunit. There is also something that took me aback and made me enjoy the experience even more but if I mention it it wont be a surprise for you The aura and atmosphere are sometimes melancholic and sometimes hopeful the main idea and Wavers philosophical aspects radiate a feeling of hope and support that striving for the best is an honourable way of living even when life gets hard. Like in most Type Moon works in this episode there are many magicians who have taken the wrong road. Some of those are Kayneths exstudents and Wavers former classmates we knew nothing about so there is lore and information about new characters from the Clock Tower. I dont know what to say about the soundtrack Yuki Kajiura is my favourite composer and once again she is exceptional here. The ending song sung by ASCA once again is this time a different version of the original opening with added lyrics and trust me it is the icing on the cake. But besides that there was the perfect music inserted throughout the movie too. The music combined with the direction pacing dialogues and aura Ive mentioned before are enough to make the experience a blast. To conclude Ive witten this review just to express my satisfaction over a short project like that and ensure you that watching it will be a great experience. Thats the reason Im writing this simple and informal review because Im sure some of you will understand me or want to read a review like this one as well. I want to express my congratulations to Studio TROYCAs work and I hope this was not the last Lord ElMelloi II Case Files anime to air. We want more Thanks for reading.
