ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
Saw it today, was not impressed. I have only read the first book, so hopefully it didn't spoil anything too much for me if I keep going. I don't mind the things like not explaining the rat people and how they have an entire underground civilization going on Earth, but at least explain The Man in Black's motivation. Guy wants to blow up the Tower and let the darkness outside of the universe in? I get that. But I don't recall a single even throwaway line as to why he wants to do it.

Also Jake as a POV character was a bad choice especially considering they rarely use him as the audience surrogate to have things explained to us. Other than that seer woman half-rear end explaining what the Shine is, I don't think his cluelessness added anything to the story. If anything he is there to explain stuff to Roland like soda and hospitals.
