Anyone else want to see this film?
This is really strange for me, since I don't usually enjoy anime, and since I can't stand M. Night Shyamalon's movies, so this movie should be on my list of 'Never Checking Out' films, but...
My brother used to love this show, so I've seen a few episodes, and they always seemed a little interesting... Then, when I took World Religions my professor talked about how he liked the series because the lead character was kind of a representation of Buddhist ideals, which made kind of piqued my interest, since I thoroughly enjoy philosophical things like that...
And, despite my great, seething hatred of Shyamalon (matched only by my great, seething hatred of Michael Bay), if he stays loyal to what I understand the plot of the show to be... There should be no sign of the dreaded 'Plot Twist' that he uses to ruin everything he touches...
So, I'm going to the midnight showing with my brother next week, with his hopes for the film! If it's good, I might go back and watch the original series, see if the plot is as good as I've heard.
