is it better to watch the movies first or can i just dive right in to the new series?
The new series is a remake of the movie with additional scenes that were in the manga, but not in the movie. Too early to tell though.
I think it might be better to watch the anime first, but if you have no patience, the movie is okay. It didn't miss many important scenes.
