The story seems close to the manga/anime, but all the quirky and colorful aspects of the story have been completely drained out for a bland and bleak cast and environment. The cast itself seem like a room full of unenthused cosplayers doing a minimal job of translating otherwise bright and distinguishable characters. The choreography is alright, and the action was fun. Otherwise the movie is like most live-action adaptation: More a novelty than anything.
