User blog comment:Ceras SanMarina/The Movie (Possible spoilers! No, probable spoilers?)/@comment-1271618-20100606200109

Hahuhiyru- Nah, from what it seems,the anime recap clips are basically randomly thrown in, no explanation given in the movie (of course it's really to pad out the time). Seems this is only where we can see some of the minor characters too, that DEEN didn't have the thought to even turn into blobs (Romano's one of the ones that seems to just be in the recap footage if what I read is right).

The negativity in Japanese fan reviews is really pouring out now, it seems like DEEN really managed to piss off a good deal of the fanbase from what I'm seeing around. The Yahoo reviews section has only one five star review too now, and a few three-star reviews that are being generous. Everything else I see is amounting to vast disappointment and negativity, mostly due to the whole stock footage/recap situation and "we waited for THIS?".
