A remake of the Kyoto arc with better animation, some good music tracks and some really bad changes to the plot. The studio have wasted all their efforts on this one. why? The Kyoto arc of the main series was good. So they could have done better with this one with some good plot changes. But had to ruin that with some bad changes. Unlike the main's Kyoto arc which was really long in this one they rushed the whole thing even the fight scenes which I found better than the main series. The animation is fine. But some things are off about the character design(like nose and mouth). As I said above I liked the fight scenes, every fight scene lasts for short time.
Also there are some good background musics.

Personalities of some characters are changed noticeably.

***Warning: The English dub is horrible, choice of voice actors are poor, this effects the character personalities (especially if you're attached to the original one)
Also note: I'm not counting the Dub in rating.***

I couldn't just watch without comparing.

Overall, I liked some changes like the fight scenes, some other plot changes, animation and the music.
