The reason why most of us pick to watch this is the manga/anime. But I think it would be even better to watch this before those two... It is not a copy/paste of the anime... It ends on the midway. Some scenes, as expected, are not involved. Most of the time it gives off the impression that something's wrong. Something's missing. And the biggest problem, for me, was the acting. It was way over the top (in my opinion). Yes, most of the dramas are so, but still... The anime seemed just more natural than seeing actual people do these things. I just couldn't get used to the actress who played Koizumi. Still, despite all of this, I think it was a good watch. I was more amused than not.
