As much as I enjoy the original series, this new anime was not up to that standard. I attempted to watch this series several times and it does not seem to hold my interest. The animation is not smooth and not aesthetic. It seems a bit rough on the eyes. It’s a little hard to watch. I feel like the animation can improve significantly. I know this is an adaptation to the original series but the way these characters sound, it’s also hurting this series. The voices sound off and forced. As if they’re trying very hard to match the way they speak in the original series. This was another example of why I couldn’t continue watching the series. They tried hard to make it interesting with the action they put into it, but that is not enough to sustain interest from the audience. At least not my attention and interest. The only thing that’s acceptable is that they kept some of the plot consistent to the original series, such as keeping the some of the new characters like Space Beth in it.

This was a great movie. If you’re a Saw fan, you’ll enjoy this piece. The cinematography was excellent, the script fits well into the series, and the plot narrative was well executed. The cinematography came out excellent. The way the angles were used in the scenes to create dramatic effects and show the characters were clever and engaging. The lighting was appropriate for whatever the scene was about for that moment, whether it was dark and tense or lighthearted. A filter can be seen in some scenes that makes the frame appear “cool” in temperature. The script in this movie was written to where it helped with the storyline of the franchise. It was easy to follow and longtime fans of the series are able to see references from previous films. The script helped construct the background for the character, John Kramer, and his journey with cancer. It also helps show how smart Kramer really is when playing his game. One thing the writers forgot was his wife, as she did not appear at all in the film. Lastly, the plot narrative was executed artistically. Meaning, the writers did well on writing the cause and effect of the storyline from when Kramer was diagnosed with cancer, up until the ending. It also helps fill in a few gaps to Kramer’s background. The plot also gave a thrill and suspense, especially during the “game” scenes. It left the audience wanting to know more and see more. This film was gory just as expected from a Saw film. The cinematography was great, the script was easy to follow, and lastly, the plot narrative was written and executed beautifully. Something that was left out was Kramer’s wife. Overall, the film is recommended for all fans of the series.

I used to watch this show every time it aired. It was interesting to me, but sadly it was taken down from the air. I never knew why nor when but I'm glad I found it on Google to find out.
