continuity problems

candles, paper on table

hairstyle, clothing changes

wrong locale

editing

repeated same dialogs, even in same sccene

flash back of same back story gets very tiresome since it was used so often

talked about arrows after that part of battle finished, already switched weapon

storytelling

not clear at all when switching between 朱雀大街 and 朱雀天街

some plotline is missing (escape from evil prince?) and suddenly jump cut to using the big black umbrella as parachute.

"break mirror" flash back has scenes not in main timeline?

plot

milked to death Harry Potter school settings - classmates, exams etc.; teams of seniors like Bleach (anime

targeting young male - 3 bath scenes (even more in the book), 1 (different from book) ambiguous (replaced likely would have been censored rape) assault scene, various "fan service" (anime ファンサービス) , at least 7? female characters like/love (not particular nice, bad boy, peeping toms, no regard of dead comrades, lies, bent on revenge) male lead

pushed servant girl character beyond 金庸's 小昭 (倚天屠龍記) and 雙兒 (鹿鼎记) (some commenter said it is like a 贤妻养成 secret manual)

the three prince characters performances are weak

modern item - eye glasses?

Pros

春风亭 street fight scene is awesome

yelling scene of separate/marry scene is funny (except physical hitting with stick part, that went overboard into domestic abuse territory)

fighting the fake bandit is good also

excellent pick and performance of actresses of 宋伊人饰桑桑, 袁冰妍饰莫山山 (contender as niciest fictional female character), 孟子义饰叶红鱼, 康可人饰余帘 (even though older than asyounger girl in book) characters.

restrained custom, no excessive colorful, pressed dresses, jewelery
