It is, as people have said, great, and the suggestion that you should watch the first 3 “episodes” as one movie is correct.
I did not like the music at the end of episode 2; I thought it was very cheesy.
But pretty much everything else was great, and you’ve mostly all said it all.
On a very unimportant note, was this the first time “caf” made the jump to the new Canon?
