Unlike the 2022 anime directed by Ryū Nakayama, which divided opinions in Japan due to its use of CGI and more realistic artistic choices, Reze's film opts for a more faithful approach to manga 's Tatsuki Fujimoto. Therefore, this change pleased both Western audiences and specialized critics. All highlight the emotional impact and cinematic direction.
