I haven't seen the animated series so this is new to me. A Well-thought-out character set and a good storyline. Interesting to see how the power corrupts and how the lines between good and evil are blurred. Good acting by the main players, but overplaying the stereotypes a bit at times. (I recommend watching it with Japanese soundtrack and English subtitles) My Rating: 7.0
