8/10
Despite the odd nagging plot holes Last Order is brilliant!

At first I wasn't too eager on this anime when I heard about it. For some reason I just thought it was a bad idea.

But now after watching it my opinion has switched completely. "Last Order: Final Fantasy VII" is superb. The animation is beautifully done and the short 20 minute story was a nice touch to the FF7 main storyline.

But there were quite a few plot holes that annoyed me. The biggest being when Tifa see Cloud and talks to him. This did not happen in FF7!!!! The writer just seemed to want to stick in a Cloud/Tifa moment and just take a dump on the continuity. This really annoyed me and its the animes biggest plot hole and downfall. Actually the speech in that scene is in the actual game. It occurs when Cloud and Tifa are in the lifestream together and we see Cloud's true memories. When watching the bit in the reactor that LO killed we hear the two characters speaking those lines while watching their past.

Zack vs. Sephitoth fight was brilliant. It was short and sweet and Cloud finished him off with style. Although Seph originally got thrown in the mako pit he didn't jump in FF7 like he did here.

Also it was cool to see the Turks, Hojo and Zangan.

In conclusion I thought this anime was brilliant! Although if your the kind of person who nitpicks at every plothole you can find I suggest don't watch it.
