Thanks for the scather. ;) Obviously I didnt really express myself. (Yes,
haha, a longer explanation!)

First, yes - the manga is definitely closer to the book. Second, yes, you're
right again - it does expand on the stories more. Firstly, it has the time
to do so. The longer a graphic novel series is, the better, but a movie over
2 1/2 hours will get reeeaaally boring, no matter how tense it is.
Second, often I DONT LIKE these character expanding. First of all, a lot of
the stuff between Mimura and his uncle is ridiculous. And Nanahara s the
weakest character I have ever seen. All of them suddenly seem to be
remembering the times their friends said the most ridiculously cheesy things
and suddenly be inspired to come back to life. I like the movie because it
portrays the real panic that people would face in that situation. They
wouldnt all of a sudden start swearing like mad hens while crying and
remembering how their best friend once did something stupid during a game of
basketball.

And about the artwork... I hate it The guy draws hair as weird scraggly
lines or big wavy bushes. He draws the teacher with enough lines on his face
to look like a volcanic island, and his proportions are frequently out of
wack. Plus, the way he draws gore and violence is completely unrealistic and
ridiculous.

Thats my rant!

Gotcha back, haha. ;)
