wish they would turn this to live action series but the budget would have been huge, perspective having read the source material, they stick pretty close to it focusing only an arc in the manga. casting is excellent, especially love the character of General Ouki, cuts for the source material was a little noticeable but giving the time given it was nice! the story keeps u wanting for more, the casting of Tamaki Hiroshi was a surprise cant wait for the 3rd film. if your going to watch this movie make sure to wait for the trailer at the end. you have to watch the first film, and this movie is not a waste your time movie, its fun, war adventure movie!
