p.s. major spoilers coming up.
     the most anticipated movie of 2012. i think so. XD i was so excited that when i already have it, i don't want to watch it anymore. what if my standard's too high, the movie won't reach it? i don't want to be disappointed. and i was getting sick of seeing Sato Takeru's face everywhere. gave in after almost 2 weeks. 
     not bad. maybe one of the best adapted manga ever. i thought the story's entirely changed, like the rebooted manga they were releasing before the release of this movie. nothing THAT major. changed how the characters met, because it'll make the movie longer, i guess. the actors didn't disappoint me. superb acting. Takei Emi lacked being tomboyish though. oh and Aoki Munetaka's really fun to watch! i think he and Eguchi Yosuke weren't tall enough for the role though. the action scenes were not that intense for me though. and perfect soundtrack. Taka's voice is just LOVE. 
     i think they should do the Shishio arc next. include Aoshi and Misao in the characters. and use 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou by Siam Shade for the soundtrack.... i wish. XD

My Ratings: i'll give this 4/5 :)
