Manga VS Movie: Blade Of The Immortal

In the third installment of Manga VS Movie, we're taking a look at a series I hold near and dear to my heart, Blade of the Immortal.
A series about an immortal ronin named Manji, who becomes the bodyguard of a girl named Rin Asano, who's out for revenge a man named Kagehisa Anotsu, and the group he leads called the Ittō-ryū.

_______________________________________________________________
The goal of this series is figuring out which manga adaptations are worth watching, and which you should avoid. By seeing how they match up to the source material.
To better illustrate this, I've incorporated a rating system which I'll bring up at the end of each video.

The rating system is out of 10. which will mainly be in two categories based on how the adaptation matches up to the source material.

3 points for adapting the characters correctly, as getting the characters right is one of, if not the most important part of any adaptation. This goes for the main characters, side characters, and the antagonists if there are any.

3 points for how the story relates to the source material. The story does not have to be a perfect match by any means, As I do understand writers need to condense what is usually a long and drawn out concept into only a few hours, however, I am looking for at least a few similar elements of the original plot within the film. I'm also looking to see if the story, in particular, is accessible to both fans of the manga, and casual viewers alike.

And finally 4 points for how it holds up as both a film and as an adaptation. As we could very well be looking at a very good film, but just not a good adaptation from the original source material.

There will obviously be many factors that decide my final verdict on these points, but I feel this way we can accurately rank these films as we cover more throughout the series.
