I thought the original anime was overboisterous and tried extremely hard to be cool. I mean it's so COOL. The main guy is super cool too. He smokes to cool music and shoots baddies. The live action was just as stylized but more simple and not as pretentious. I think the 40 minute runtime does a huge service to the flow of the episodes, because I always felt unsatisfied at the end of the 20 minute anime episodes. I'm surprised it has a 6.8/10 on this site. Although I assume it's because of the die hard fanbase of the anime, and the fact that certain fanbases are impossible to please. Give it a shot. It's a fun show.
