I never watched the anime or read the manga but the live action was enjoyable and understandable to any audience that doesn’t know the story.
I enjoyed the cast and plot and only am a little disappointed that it’s only five episodes and probably not going to get anymore seasons. The fighting scenes were entertaining and cool to watch and I really liked the character growth we saw from all the characters. Now this has made me want to go watch the anime to compare the plots and see how the director changed it.
