I started it with the expectation that it would be just a re-tread of the movie. and until the end of the first episode, it felt like that. I mean, why make a cartoon out of a movie that the whole point of it was making a cartoon in live action.
then the twist, which got me really excited. sure, let's have someone else lead the story.
then the other twist, which I didn't like so much, it felt like we are going to back to safe grounds rather than having a different story.
I did enjoy this, it's novel, the fights are well animated (even if i didn't like how long they were), and it has songs by metric.
and yes, anime AF.
