Last Order Final Fantasy VII is a 25-minute original video animation (OVA) series based on the popular video game Final Fantasy VII. The series was released in 2005 by Square Enix, with its first episode premiering on September 14 and its second episode on November 17.

The series is set in the world of Final Fantasy VII and follows the story of Zack Fair, a member of the Shinra Electric Power Company's elite unit SOLDIER. In the game, Zack is a character who accompanies the game's protagonist, Cloud Strife. However, Last Order explores his story in more detail, specifically his relationship with Cloud, and his involvement in the events leading up to the game's main storyline.

The series is based on a chapter from "On the Way to a Smile," a novella written by Kazushige Nojima, one of the main writers for the Final Fantasy VII game. The chapter is titled "Case of Lifestream - Black and White", and it provides additional context and backstory for the Final Fantasy VII game's plot.

The series takes place seven years before the events of Final Fantasy VII and explores the events of the game's backstory. The viewer is introduced to SOLDIER member Zack Fair and the relationship he has with Cloud Strife, who is a shy and reserved youngster living in the city of Nibelheim. The series also explores the character of Tifa Lockhart, another central figure in Final Fantasy VII, and her past relationship with Cloud and Zack.

The animation was created by Studio Madhouse, one of Japan's top animation studios known for their work on popular anime series such as Death Note and One-Punch Man. The animation is top-notch and beautifully rendered, with fluid motion in action sequences and detailed backgrounds and character designs. The series also features an excellent soundtrack, composed by Takeharu Ishimoto, who also worked on the Final Fantasy VII game and the Kingdom Hearts series.

The voice acting is also noteworthy, with the Japanese cast featuring some of the most popular voice actors in the industry, including Takahiro Sakurai, the voice of Cloud Strife, and Kenichi Suzumura, the voice of Zack Fair.

The series spans two episodes, each 25 minutes in length. The first episode, titled "Lifestream," covers Zack's journey from SOLDIER to his fateful encounter with Cloud in Nibelheim, while the second episode, "Escape," covers the aftermath of the Nibelheim incident and the events that lead up to the beginning of Final Fantasy VII.

Overall, Last Order Final Fantasy VII offers a deeper understanding of the game's lore and mythology, exploring the rich and complex characters that inhabit the game's world. While it may appeal more to fans of the video game, it is also an enjoyable standalone anime series that offers some impressive animation and a compelling story.
