“Okay, first, if you will find this movie not making any sense, please note that it is an u0026quot;English adaptationu0026quot;, not a direct translation. This version is edited and has a changed story, which many viewers found stupid (the reason for low ratings). The Japanese version was called u0026quot;too scary and not suitable for childrenu0026quot;, so, 4Kids Entertainment overwrote practically everything, and deleted no less than 10 minutes of the opening sequence. Donu0026#39;t want to spoil anything, but you actually must watch the original opening to understand the story. An even better option is to view the whole Japanese version with subtitles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is ONE good thing about the English adaptation. The original orchestral music that was made by Ralph Schtukett is marvelous. Iu0026#39;m not sure, but the theatrical or the DVD version has some low quality pop songs added to mar an otherwise perfect score.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven with the story changes and the inclusion of stupid songs (in theatrical or DVD version, not sure), this movie deserves a 7 out of 10. The animation is wonderful, on par with the best things in anime genre. And the original score is great.”
