Haven't read the manga, but LOVED the original movie... it totally blew my mind. It has been a very long time since I've watched it, but after just watching the live action version (all kinds of NOPE) with hubby, who has never seen the original, I feel like I need to re-watch it and show him what he's missing out on.

I understand the want to remake an older movie, using updated technology to get better effects, or to turn an animated movie into live action, but sometimes it's just unnecessary, and most of the time it's just a cash grab. Very unfortunate.
