E2 was a little better. It marked a significant break from the anime, even with Teddy Bommer. No Faye. But the music was better. Was that Yoko playing in the back of the jazz club? I liked the fights for their comic cartoonishness. I’m ready to take this at face value and try to disregard the original. Spike’s noodle obsession is greater. Julia’s arc is totally different. Spike & Jet’s bromance is more pronounced. I’m ready for Ein.
E3 EIN! And Hakim (but that played out so differently). It’s divorced from the anime enough to be its own thing. There’s still a stiltedness to the dialog repartee, and I won’t say it’s great like the anime but it’s diverting. Again no Faye. And what is with the nekkid drug makers? Why is that a thing in cinema? Although the blinding was an amusing twist.
