Break Blade OVA 1

Set in a world quite different from our own, Break Blade follows Lygatt Arrow, an un-sorcerer, in other words a person uncapable of controlling qwartz, the material used by the entire world to produce all but the most basic of tools. Qwartz is the material that makes the world go round and the people who can control qwartz are called sorcerers. At the start of the movie he gets called to the country of Kristna by the King Hodr(sounds a lot like Höður), a former aquaintance of his, to help Sygin, the head researcher and Hodr's wife, with the study of an ancient robot they found frozen in a block of ice deep underground.
Having never been able to control Quartz he is shocked to find out that he can control this robot with unbelievable ease when the sorcerers can't seem to activate it. With this he gets dragged into a war between two countries and into a conflict between former friends.
This movie is the first of 6 movies with the title of Break Blade. What I like most about this movie is the fact that a seemingly unremarkable person can one day become the most remarkable of all. It shows how people are not always told the entire truth and that without knowing both sides you can be quick to misjudge. I feel it's sad that former friends can be torn apart by the lies of the ruling powers and how people get pulled into wars and don't know what they are fighting for. Well hehe i also got this in 1080p hehe so I had to watch this. Pretty cool fighting scenes and cool characters. I don't think anyone but the main character was really memorable in this film though, maybe he was just too epic or maybe the other characters didn't give you the chance to relate to them.
