I have the original manga and was hoping that after 10 years of buying the rights to this story had me on edge.
I saw the movie on first night of release and in 3D to boot, I am basically not a fan for 3D but knowing Cameron was behind it and I can say this was the first time I actually enjoy that aspect of the movie.
Camerone keep the story mainly intact and was surprised about the motorball intro which the next movie will be based.
I'm sure more people will see the sequel after knowing who she is from first movie.
oh yeah, DON'T CHANGE HER EYES! Thats how they were drawn in manga.
