I gave the anime a shot last night and I was just really confused why they went with the anime style in general. Like it was already drawn in a way that could have been animated in its own style? The actual animation felt a little clunky and I think I would have rathered if they used new voice actors tbh, the voice acting felt a bit clumsy.
It feels like a "licensed product" rather than a core piece of media, ie Jak and Daxter: the lost frontier.
I'll admit I saw the movie at a very formative time and it has its problematic bits. Is it true they just talk about their feelings rather than fighting? Like sure that's better as a message, but Scott being "the best fighter in Toronto" from the original comics always felt like a really bizarre and funny character detail, the whole world was built around scott being a scrawny asshole but also a top tier fighter for some reason, and that absurdity felt important in the context of the world.
Overall I wish they would stop remaking media. The weird netflix self insert by making Ramona deliver DVDs for netflix just made me mad though. I felt like I was watching an ad. The whole vibe feels off, idk if I'm old or i'm correct.

That all sounds really unfortunate, I haven't watched it yet. I figured it was going to be very close to the graphic novels.
They fight.
Also it's so faithful to the actual "story" of the graphic novel (the arcs, etc) that the change in plot is less important.
Also the original graphic novel still had a ton of talking about feelings.
thanks for the clarification!
