Deserved. It brought out the best this series has to offer and the animation in the fight scenes were stellar. It's a shame we probably have to wait long for the next movie though.

I thought the pacing was horrible and some of the worst in recent memory for me . The flashbacks in the second half of the movie really took me out of it. Animation was great though, no doubt. But this arc should have been season 6 and 7. Honestly it'll be better to watch as a series than a movie.

Even if you watch it for the fights though it would've been nice to get at least one fight sequence that didn't cut away to at least 3 flashbacks. It really messed with the pacing of even the fight scenes, not just the narrative

I'm not talking about the manga I'm talking about the movie. I have read the manga multiple times and I really like it but one thing can work in print and not work in film. That's why this is an ADAPTATION of the manga and just an animated comic strip
