| I am still intriguing, can they really adapt the entire manga in one film? If so, how much they have to cut out? |

| @RobertBobert according to ann, they styled it like a Broadway Musical. I'm guessing they'll play 1-2 songs and timeskip constantly. |

| @watsym You think they really will use the tactics of justification of any development behind the scenes by Time Skips as lazy authors? |

Props to them for hiring actual seiyuus for this movie. It's refreshing considering most anime movies nowadays cast random celebs.
| @eze_tielve This is a very cult project, so they may be afraid to take random people. |

| The animation is anything but smooth. Its clear where the budget has been spent on this one (Seiyuus) compared to that. Its a bit of a shame because this series already looked pretty good in the 79 incarnation. |
