Wow a large portion of the story is done in a montage during the opening credits. Yuki Uchida plays the lead well but she doesn't look the part and it kept throwing me off. I guess if I would've seen this first that might not have been a big deal. The biggest draw back to this version is that it just skims the surface of the story and none of the characters, relationships, or events are fleshed out enough.
