And just the animation is pretty impressive, I would say.

And I like a magic system in a fantasy story that has a little more heft to it.

There's just a little more exploration of how it works.

Because the key here is that they're essentially retracing the steps of Freerun's original quest.

They're going back to the same place 80 years after the Demon King was defeated and
