Essentially a very cut down version of the original story
I feel like the story is too long and intricate to fit in a movie time limit, as someone who loves the anime (watched it 4 times) it gave me some frustrations watching this.The first part where Miyo's character and story gets told got completely scrapped, this makes it seem like her life was besides being treated like a servant (which is common for the time period), wasn't that bad. Yurie only meeting Miyo while prepairing for dinner makes it so the characters should feel more distant. The discovery of the Usuba family felt meaningless (also whats with the table of a bunch of old guys at the mansion >.>). Miyo's powers where useless essentially, which resulted in a very anticlimactic ending. The young emperor was useless. And the love between the mains feel nonexistent.
The sets and effects where nice to look at, and for how small of a time frame they have with movies its understandable, however I'd definitely recommend to watch the anime instead >.>
