                    Doesn't do the manga justice
                    I was very excited upon hearing about the adaptation from Netflix, but after finishing the whole movie, I felt as if there was no point in watching it at all.

                    Although the movie was rather slowly paced in the first hour, there was barely anything that makes you care about any of the characters. Themes and plot points that are supposed to be deeply thought about are forgotten minutes later. The movie picks up a little after the halfway mark, but sadly, the little plot is unable to do much for the rest of the film and the ending is unsatisfactory in the bad way.

                    Overall, it just feels static. It was capable of doing something interesting, especially given the tone of its origin, so why was the end result so uninteresting? Please use the almost 2-hour runtime to read the manga instead. I'm begging you.
