misnomer

I watched the first worldwide preview of this movie at a local film festival (I've always wanted to do something like that, yay!). Having not watched the anime nor read the manga, I went there not knowing what to expect from this. What I got to see was a very disjointed experience. The editing was all over the place, some parts felt like they were from a different movie, it was very clumsy the way a few characters were introduced and, for the soundtrack, it was like they only had this one song, which would play in a short, repetitive loop, on occasion. In all honesty, it felt a bit like I was watching something amateurish, out of a cinema school project. Maybe you'll get a kick out of this if you're a fan of the anime/manga/CLAMP. For everyone else interested in Japanese live action movies (or fantasy and/or Japanese movies, in general), I'd say you're better off looking somewhere else.

I just recently found out that there's a live-action adaptation of the manga of "Xxxholic" of which I'm so very impressed in that it took 19 years after the "manga" and 16 years after the "anime" for it to be made, but then I'm not even impressed of whom was casted as "Kimihiro Watanuki".

Not bad for a Live-action movie.
