I haven't decided if I like it yet. It was definitely gorgeous. I cannot stand the subplot with Ido's family as it was not in the manga at all and the ending absolutely angored me because if this movie does not do well they will not make a sequel. My wife really enjoyed it, mostly because she forgot how sadly the standalone anime that we watched many years ago based off the manga ended, lol, and she has never read the manga. Basically, what I mean is, if the movie does well enough that they are able to make a sequel, and the sequel resolves the rest of the story, I will consider this movie a success and it will be a good movie. If they do not make a sequel, I will forever and always considered it to be a bad movie because it was advertised as a standalone movie not the 1st in a series. Right now I will give it a thumbs up.
