Easy skip. The Netflix formula isn't even good at all for binging a show out of the many myriad of the catalogue that's privy marketing won't even help on this.

binging formula isnt good for the hype and overall weekly conversation, but its good for the consumer since you can watch it all of it in a row. I give Wokeflix credit for that.

I was expecting this to be full 3d but it's got way more 2d than expected. Unless it's telling a different story, I don't see any reason to watch this over the movie.

The movie felt super compressed and production values was its only redeemable quality. Cant see how it can get worse than the movie. If this adaptation actually focuses on proper pacing, the movie might be instead the "must skip" in the future.

I remember hearing from someone that they are adapting the same story as in the movie and not the manga although I guess that's not true.
