To be truly honest this movie was a bit of a disappointment. I've read the manga and seen the anime and adored both, truthfully they're probably my favorite anime/manga of all time. To be fair, I think I'd enjoy this movie a lot more if I wasn't such a big fan of the anime/manga. I built my hopes up and got them kind of smashed. The cast is amazing though and some parts of the movie resemblance both the manga and anime. My advice for any hard core fan is to not build your hope up too much and just enjoy the plot and the amazing actors!
