I’ll never understand why fans want every new adaptation of their favorite story to be the same exact thing every single time. Like cmon guys… open your imagination to new possibilities. While the novels are still my favorite, this anime introduces a wonderful new way of looking at these characters! So much in fact that I actually had no idea where the show was going to go next. It kept it fresh and exciting whereas it would’ve felt repetitive had it stuck to the plot format the movie followed. Absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for an awesome way to kill 4 hours.
