These episodes could be cut in half, truly. Long, long sequences of boring animations for transitions, long shots of uninteresting miniatures used for lack of content, overly dramatic music that never stops (even when people are finally talking). This thing takes itself way too seriously and it's incredibly annoying to watch (and hear).
Seems like it was made by some guy just out of film school, who wants to make an "epic" documentary about Nintendo... The music is so out of place and over the top at times. In the beginning we find ourselves in feudal Japan, late 1800s, and the soundtrack makes it feel like we're somewhere in interstellar space in some sci-fi movie.
And it's SO LONG in-between actual dialog and information... Like I said, could be half as long.
Such a shame.
