Happy! (2006)

The original manga by Urasawa Naoki, despite having its flaws, was still an enjoyable read. Unfortunately, when you take 23-tankoubon worth of manga and try to squeeze most of it in a 3-hours double special episode, the result is bound to be crappy, and that's exactly what happened here. Aibu Saki and Miyasako Hiroyuki (who were both very nice casting choices, being surprisingly reminiscent of the respective manga characters!!!) delivered nice performances...but everything else basically sucks...
