Anyone unfamiliar with the anime series Fairy Tail, will have a hard time trying to figure out what’s going on in the 2017 feature film Dragon Cry, which takes place narratively within the last few story arcs. Familiar characters return for this tale about a wizard who enters the Kingdom of Fiore and successfully steals the Dragon Cry—a magic staff discovered in a dragon graveyard. What ensues is an incredibly complicated story involving possession of the staff by one party or another, with heroes and villains alternately victorious and defeated. It’s difficult keeping track of who’s doing what, and for what reason, while the animation is pretty run of the mill. Presented in separate dual-language DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo editions, rated TV-14, this is an optional purchase. (T. Keogh)
