I had never seen this thing before.
This is the best anime adaptation ever made.

OP, I was set to hate the everlasting FUCK out of this movie because I normally hate anime (apart from Akira and Ghost in the Shell), despise the original show and LOATHE race car driving but, FUCK ME, what a GREAT popcorn flick! A nice self contained story not designed to set up sequels, rich color saturated eye candy cinematography and visionary use of CGI and editing. But best of all was that it had soo much fucking heart and I really felt for the characters. Best movie of 2008 and, in its own way, a masterpiece!!!FACT!!! https://youtu.be/EChZbd0HeGw

Oh and if you want something that's a close second to anime adaptations, watch CUTIE HONEY. Based on the 70's manga and anime series, the 2004 movie was Directed by Hideaki (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shin Godzilla) Anno and co-stars his Shin Godzilla actress Mikako Ichikawa. I've linked the trailer, theme song and music video for your viewing pleasure below....

Just last year they made another Cutie Honey movie, subtitled Tears, and it doesn't have the sort of bubblegum cotton candy sensibility of the first which is why I'm not inclined to watch it. I've linked the trailer anyway!!!FACT!!!

Probably the best adaptation period as it's faithful as fuck to the source material.

Maybe, but it was still awful.
After watching it so many times I can safely say that the first ten and last ten minutes of the movie define it.
