And once again, the power of friendship saves the day. This series might be about gangs but, well, it's as much about gangs as Sailor Moon was. It's true! Cobra's even a blondie!

But seriously now. The cinematography of the gangs riding to war was a thing to behold, when they teamed up and rode together to kick the Mighty Warriors' and Kohaku's collective butt! Goodness gracious, that was a thing to behold.

Also, as much as I adored the drama because it allowed the story to go deeper and wider and whatnot, I think I prefer the movie take on the whole thing because it felt much more concise and there weren't as many repeated flashbacks.

My favorite is still Cobra, Yamata is as protective of Cobra as ever, Murayama is still smitten with Cobra and they all still follow Cobra's lead so... nothing changed - and I love it.
