Story I haven't watched the original series, and i didn't understand most of what was going on. however, i got the basic message of the movie. the movie was great in many ways and i was highly entertained. Art The art was outstanding. the environment is a mixture of 2 and 3-d rendering. the buildings are especially exquisite and i loved the characters interaction and movement. although, they could have done better with the sea. they remained stagnate. most individuals will probably not notice. Sound The movie sound was great. the voice actors did an amazing job in my opinion. Character For a 1 hr movie youcould feel the depth of each character. they all had their differences especially Joe and jet.

Enjoyment
I personally thoroughly enjoyed this movie. For an individual like myself that enjoy most action anime, this has one of the best action sequence anyone can ask for. if you love action movies or anime don't pass this. it should be ranked among the top 100 anime. i enjoyed the movie to the fullest. i wish their was more action or something like a last boss/antagonist.

Overall
There's nothing much to say that i haven't already said. the anime was highly entertaining and had a decent message to the viewers. it reminded me of a story in the bible... i urge everyone to give this a try. it's only less than 2 hrs of your life, so watch and be entertained.
