I guess what was said earlier about the crew that did the tv series and the movie being completely different was true.
On the plus side:
* Gorgeous. I generally hate Clamp-style art, but somehow this crew managed to do it without it looking completely stupid. It looked fantastic.
* The glasses never came back. Thank gawd. She looks far better without them.
On the down side:
* Boring. Completely lacking the cheese factor entertainment of the last few episodes from the tv series. It was a slow moving drama, which I just didn't find all that interesting.
* I'm trying to decide if I just don't get what in the world Fumito was actually trying to accomplish, or if I do, and am rejecting it because it was just so stupid (not in the good, cheesy, lol last two episodes of the tv series way, but in the bad way).  |
Currently watching it subbed as I type, but I definitely agree on the visual aspect as I immediately thought Saya jumped up quite a lot on the hotness-scale, lol.
(She was much more on the cutesy side in the anime series outside of the fighting, where it was high on the sexy-scale, lol.)
And the city and how smoothly everything seems to move around is great to look at.
