I like the story where the 2 main characters have natural personality development and do not fall into any stereotypes. The drawing is mostly nice but occasionally I found the characters' expressions a bit out of the place. The sophisticated details of the characters clothing and the scene background/surroundings provide a rich visual experience, not to say the 2 main characters are extremely handsome/beautiful with vivid body and facial expressions.

However my only complain is I found the storytelling a bit incoherent. I guess the author was trying to keep readers' curiosity at a high level so he constantly switches scenes among different story lines and ... cut stories in to small pieces and shuffled them. while a lot of authors do this but it feels a bit overdone to me and i find the storyline and emotion flowing quite broken.

I would give it a higher score if this is an original story, but we all know this is based on the manga which has already provided one of the best stories and art work. I think some of the important details about the characters' deep psychological activities are missed. One of the reasons the manga is so good, for me personally, is that it touches the most subtle level of the characters' struggles and pain, using the best drawings. instead of showing these details, the animation gives too much time for less important parts of the story.
Overall, it is still a good movie. ... I am not actually disappointed but i think it can be better.
