The anime is based on the popular Final Fantasy games. Despite the fact that all the main characters and the world are taken from toys, cartoons deserve attention. Someone considers the first issues to be unnecessarily childish, but overall, after watching, a good impression remains. If you decide to look at all the parts, “Last Fantasy” (the list and sequence of the series are given below) may seem confusing and incomprehensible at first. However, this world is addictive, and involuntarily you begin to empathize with the heroes.
“Last Fantasy: The Legend of the Crystals”
The game “Final Fantasy V” became the primary source for the cartoon “The Last Fantasy” (anime). 200 years after the victory over evil, the clouds gather over the world of R. Three of the four crystals that maintain the natural balance on the planet are stolen by the evil sorcerer Dathiyunos. Only the wind crystal remained uncaught, and if the sorcerer receives it, then it will gain unprecedented power and strength.
After gaining power, Datghiyunos plans to become the ruler of the whole world. Only the descendants of the previous heroes - the Frits boy and the Linely girl - can hinder the plan. They have something to oppose to the sorcerer: Frets is superb at managing with a sword and bombs, and Linely is a monster summoner, though she is a beginner. But in order to fulfill his mission and protect the crystal, young heroes first need to flee from the pirate leader, who wants to get all the crystals personally for her needs.
“Final Fantasy: Spirits Inside”
The near future. A meteorite falls on the Earth, and something strange begins to happen. People, animals are dying, entire cities are emptying ...

To confront the invaders, the main characters must find eight source spirits and combine their energy in a power wave that can destroy phantoms. A team of scientists is ready to do anything to save the planet, even at the cost of their own lives.
“Final Fantasy: Almighty”
Once in the middle of the sea a column of light appeared with two monsters fighting inside it. They disappeared, but at the scene of the battle, a tunnel was formed connecting the two worlds.
The twins Yu and Ai have to go to the other side to find their missing parents. On a dangerous journey, children will meet a girl Liza, who has secret knowledge, a guy Kadze who is not afraid of any opponents, and the genius Sid.

Last Fantasy 7: Children of the Coming
Anime created based on the game Final Fantasy VII. 2 years have passed since the terrible disaster. Almost all of humanity perished: either because of the consequences of a meteorite’s fall, or from the terrible disease “Geostigma,” a cure for which they could not find.
The main character Cloud is also infected. He tries to stay away from the crowd and continues to blame himself for the death of friends. However, the events are twisted so that he will have to forget about self-discipline and once again save the world.
"Last Fantasy VII: The Last Order"
This anime prequel to The Last Fantasy 7: Advent Children. The action takes place before the events taking place in the "Children", and tells the story of two friends - Zach and Cloud. Their escape from the Shinra company and the confrontation with Sephiroth are described.
“Final Fantasy 7: Towards a Smile”
To better understand the world of this anime, it is better to see all the parts. "Last Fantasy" (a list of series in order is in this article) is a rather complex and sometimes confusing cartoon.
The spin-off “Advent Children” will show the situation through the eyes of another character.
After a meteorite has fallen on the planet, familiar life collapses. Hunger, disease, disaster ... Once the elite quarter was almost wiped off the face of the Earth, loved ones died. However, life goes on, and only faith in the best and meeting new friends helps Denzel overcome difficulties and hope that someday everything will work out.
“Last Fantasy 7: Cerberus's Memorial Service”
The action takes the viewer into the world of "Advent Children", but only a year after the main events.
Anime shows a life based on the ruins of a former civilization. The planet is only trying to recover from a series of disasters, people believed in the future. However, a sect appears that wants to seize power over the world. The familiar heroes, led by the mysterious Vincent Valentine, will confront her .
“Final Fantasy: Nuclear Crisis”
A prequel to all the events of the universe. It will help to better understand all the parts. "Last Fantasy" (an anime list will help determine the sequence of viewing) will finally give answers to many questions of interest.
Events in the cartoon unfold 7 years before the start of the main actions in the game Final Fantasy VII.
After the fall of the meteorite, the Shinra military organization is trying to seize power over the entire planet, becoming the main monopolist of all energy reserves. Modified soldiers and the superfighting Sephiroth are created on the basis of alien cells.
For those who decide to look at all the parts, The Last Fantasy (list above) may seem strange and without a logical explanation. As fans of this universe say, for a better understanding, you need to go through the games Final fantasy 7 and Final fantasy: Crisis Core. After that, there will be no white spots. But even without passing the game, the anime is quite good: excellent graphics, well-designed characters and the dynamism of the plot at a decent level.
