Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
(Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

补充了SOA本子娜的成长线，整体观感和《序章之争》差不多，值得一看！
虽然略显平淡，但是亚丝娜的菜鸡视角拍得挺细腻。
没有期待就会觉得哇还不错。看完之后打算重温第一季，好甜好甜好甜。
改的吧.一般.能接受
亚丝娜的老哥也是个妹控啊，亚丝娜拿老哥的电脑玩游戏，打开family照片文件夹，结果全是亚丝娜的，哈哈，亚丝娜打开看了之后，还嘀咕了一句：欧尼酱……
看过第一季TV版的小伙伴，可以把此剧场版当做是SAO平行世界的感觉来看，新添加的米特妹子纯粹就是为了烘托桐姥爷登场的配角了。
实话说，除了补齐的作用，感觉更适合做成TV，而非剧场版，因为原创的不多，更适合在TV展现。就像之前序列之争的完全全新故事，这部属实有点下滑，但是有福利，有糖，算是把sao第一层的主要故事补齐了。进击篇第一部就这样完了，期待第二部有更多新内容呀。但是属实说一年一部，到底能拍到什么时候，也不一定，还是更期待稳定更新呀。
前半段无功无过，后半段无功有过。糟糕的节奏，近乎空洞的故事，以及廉价的制作。说得再差点，这个剧场版完全就扩充了些没啥意义的东西，也基本没有任何值得观看的必要。毕竟连人物塑造和影像表达都如此差劲，扁平且无趣。 做成这种程度还瑕不掩瑜，实在很迷。
神马东西？！我桐老爷不配拥有姓名是吧？！前半篇是打算给亚斯娜找个t是吧？！
当年最火热的动漫，如今只能躺在动漫冷门作品榜上。回头再看刀剑的剧情、打斗、配乐，仍然毫不过时，精彩依旧。
特别不喜欢的一点，拉拉这个角色太平面，太浅，为什么他是黑手党但是维护正义？为什么他一次次帮助甘古拜？还有妈妈衣柜的银钥匙，本以为是个伏笔，却没有影了。
嗯……画质挺好的……适合画本子……没了
十年刀剑，进击篇的狗粮和糖尽管上，我吃的下
爹味重，无聊，故事性差，但是能看美少女打铁拳我给打满分。
人物刻画嘛。。比较微妙，只能说比TV跳跃式的叙事要好上不少，但实际上水平也很一般。
为什么会有这种神漫 相对于其他几季 我还是比较喜欢第一季 一切的开始 成长 简直啧啧

4.8。好看，看完又想打游戏了，黑魂我来辣～
作画很精致，看得出不缺钱，这块故事动作场面本就不多，最后的打戏秉持着刀剑一贯的作风，光效拉满，动作帅气，至于具体的打戏自然也就不重要了。
回忆了一下上一次看刀剑是在搞南桐营业，这回搞女通也很合理嘛。。作画真的好崩
