If not for the awkward movement of the cosplayer in question, this would've been epic. They already made embellishment out of everything. They shoot the scenes, the utilize great 3D sfx and everything, but why didn't they instruct the cosplayer to move more fluidly. The stiffness, gait and even some of her miens are totally not in Saber's repertoires.

Good effort though, I'm being a huge ass here.

The stiff movements hurt the quality a bit, but the outfit looks gorgeous! The special effects made the showing a bit more fun. Smile

Pretty much my thoughts. The outfit is very well done and the whole process behind the sword is very cool. The stiff movements did deter from it and so did her "blank" facial expressions for most of it. Still a great cosplay though.

Costume was top notch (except the wig, they can never make a good, realistic cosplay wig). And the cosplayer is really beautiful.

But I'm not keen on the use of screen projection the way they used it. It would've been good as part of an interactive game, but not as a Cosplay video. IMHO they should've used CGI screen effects.

The lack of fluid movement likely had as much to do with the limitations of the costume as it did with the actress. The design looks good but was never very practical.

What exactly is your point?

And why link to some off site archive as opposed to the actual review itself?

The obvious shadow she was casting on the green screen hurt the overall quality.
