    My folks loved it, I even got them to sit down with me and watch the animes first episode with me back to back with the live action one. My frustration is that it was close to being good… all untill the main villian opens their stupid mouth.

    Of all the Netflix anime-to-live action adaptations, this one was the only one ive seen (sorry One Piece, havent seen it yet) that added something to the creative work of the orginal. Jet and Fey got real glow-ups with their characters and full 60ish min episodes all to themselves. Their anime counterparts got the same treatment, but the episodes were much shorter and we got to spend less time with just them. (We do not talk about Ed)

    To me, the live action show fell to pieces when they introduced the villians and just how silly they were. At this point, enjoy it for what it is but expect 80% style, 5% substance, 15% of Netflix’s nonsesne.
