I'm glad a number of people enjoyed this series, and I can understand them giving it top ratings. In my case though I saw the anime first... and the live action doesn't quite stand up to the anime.
The story is effective, but somewhat slow, especially in the final four episodes. The plot, even if someone hasn't seen the anime, is predictable from very early on. The ending is plodding, extremely predictable, and could have been better done.
So I can only give this a 5-star "mediocre" rating. Had it not been for the anime this might have been somewhat unique, but since they had the anime story to go by, there really wasn't much excuse for a poorly-progressive story line.
Is it worth watching? Yes, especially if you haven't seen the anime. If you've seen the anime, you might find this a bit disappointing.
