“I read the manga and liked it a lot, so I had high expectations, but the movie was one big disappointment… The plot is rushed and itu0026#39;s not explained properly, the dialogue is bad and the scenes seem disconnected, like they were just thrown together randomly.nOne redeeming grace is the background music, like Pachelbelu0026#39;s Canon in D (one of my favourite classical pieces) and Beethovenu0026#39;s Fur Elise, though the latter was often remixed in modern and completely inappropriate versions.nThe story had great potential, too bad they made a mess out of the movie :(“
