Concluding

This is part two of the Manga/Anime adaptation with the same title. It would make sense for you, to have seen the first part. And I will mention a few things that happened in the first part, without putting a spoiler tag, because I won't say anything about this movie here, but only about the other one.

By now many things have happened, the book that allows you to kill people has been introduced, the keeper of this book, the main characters have been introduced, so this one is more about the payoff. And therefor a slightly better experience than the first one. On the other hand, you have to have seen the first one and if you've seen the first one (and liked it), then there's no chance, you won't watch this movie. And as I said, it delivers! Since there are still some differences (due to time constraint again) to the source material, I'm still looking forward to watch the entire anime series (have only watched a couple of episodes yet)!
