It is time to talk about another story to the Mass Effect series and this is about James Vega. It makes you think what the other crew members of the Normandy were doing while Shepard was pronounced “dead”? I always had Vega on my squad because he was a pretty loco and reliable soldier to have especially when dealing with the Reapers. I was pretty much shocked to hear about a prequel being made starring the famed badass taking a lead role in his first animated movie. Paragon Lost is where you see James fully grow as a fighter and a squad leader which he had to use all his knowledge against a Krogan Blood Pack Merc group trying to take over a colony.
After spawning many books, comics and games, the Mass Effect-universe has been expanded with its first movie. Mass Effect: Paragon Lost tells the story of James Vega, crewmember of the Normandy in Mass Effect 3. It's neither a live-action movie nor a cartoon using the artstyle of the comics. No, as strange as it might be, Mass Effect: Paragon Lost is an anime.

"No, as strange as it might be, Mass Effect: Paragon Lost is an anime."
That doesn't seem strange at all.
I rather enjoyed watching it, the film passed the time for me im guessing the reviewer is still scarred from the me3 ending (before the extended cut) and too add i cant wait for the next in the mass effect saga.
I liked it.
It wasn't the best CGI or Animation but they kept to the lore and that's satisfying.
Details seem to go awfully off track when a game is made into an anime.

"Mass Effect: Paragon Lost was an addition to the Mass Effect lore that many may not have asked for, however anyone who does give the title a chance will be in for a nice treat with an emotional story and great action. The weakest character of Mass Effect 3 gets his chance to shine as James Vega’s experiences on Phel Prime expand his character immensely and show what struggles he had to go through before meeting his hero Shepard. Despite the English dub being rather sub-standard, the impressive visuals and intense battle sequences help usher in a surprisingly enjoyable movie held back by a number of flaws."
ill watch this as id like to see what James Vega gets up to before he meets up with commander shephard
