What I enjoy about adaptations from otome games is how you can change things slightly and it still turn out true to the story and flows well. There is already an anime version that follows mostly Hijikata's route with story snippets of other characters. The movie is similar and follows the Kyoto Winds game where there is little romance, and purely story development. What makes the movie and anime different is the action scenes they included (I loved the sword fighting scenes especially). I won't deny that at first I was hesitant to watch the movie since I've already seen the anime, but I am glad I did. You even get to see the extent of a demon's power. The timeline is slightly askew since they are only allotted a certain amount of time for a movie, so things may feel slightly rushed. I don't think it had a negative impact on the overall flow of things though. If you are a fan of the game or anime, definitely give the movie a chance as well.
