I was a fan of the anime and the manga, so I was really anxious to watch this.. And to say I was disappointed is putting it mildly. The original story was perfectly written, and if the movie had followed that, this movie would have been awesome. But, unfortunately no, they didn't do that. The reasoning behind the 7 overall is, that in and of itself, it wasn't bad, just high expectations not met. I gave the story an 8 simply because, the original story was so perfect, and while the movie's script didn't match that perfection, it did give a decent try at it. Acting wise.. can I just say DULL.. Kitagawa was not made for this role, she annoyed me to no end. Mukai, as George, was decent, but you could tell he was acting for a certain demographic, not actually being George. The other's played their roles very well. I don't really remember the music, hence a 4. Re-Watch is a 4 simply because I did re-watch it before writing this. Overall-I gave it a 7 because it wasn't awful, but it wasn't as great as it could have been. If you are a huge fan of the Anime or the Manga, then do NOT watch this.
