Synopsis

Layton receives a letter from the famed opera singer, Jenis Quatlane, inviting them to see her newest performance. She also asks Layton, Luke, and Remi for assistance in a mystery, saying her friend Milena went missing one year ago but returned later as a seven-year-old girl saying she had found the secret of eternal life. Naturally, the case fascinates Layton and his apprentice, so they head to the Crown Petone opera house. When they arrive, something is very strange: the pianist, Oslo Whistler talks of a game, and the winner will win the “eternal life”.

The Review

If found there’s a nice mix balance of story and songs while watching this anime.

The mystery was the hook, and the journey to unravel it will captivate your attention.

Those who are fans of the game series for which this adaptation was based on, would have no problem following the movie.

I was a bit tad of the ending however, but it makes the film much more ‘real’.

The Good

• Excellent selection of music
• Despite in 2D, the animation was well done

The Bad

• Some people might not like the ending
