If you didn't like the way the anime ended, you'll really hate the movie. Izumi doesn't do much more than stalk Kouichi, until they get to the Inn. That's where she does the whole "Apologize" thing with Mei, though it's not anywhere near as humiliating as it is in the anime; somewhat more justifiably Takako suggests it's all Kouichi's fault instead.

Takeru and Yuuya steal Matsunaga's tape and play it for Tomohiko and Naoya. Tomohiko stupidly tells the girls how to end the Curse. Takako, who has spent the entire film in tears, makes it abundantly clear she's not down with killing anyone; Izumi responds to this somewhat well-reasoned argument by stabbing her in the throat. Naoya and Mei show up later, which saves Takako's life, although Naoya panics and kills himself; Izumi decides, since Takako isn't the Extra, it must be Mei. It doesn't end much better for her, although I wasn't especially unhappy this time around.

As for the races: clearly you're not American. We love to worry about things that don't matter, like that. :)

As for Holly's conversation with Kirk in the elevator, she didn't reveal Jordan was her sister or even that they're related; that's not much further than Mei went in the manga, which is sitting next to my computer and is probably the easiest thing for me to reference on this. Besides, it's integral to Kirk's interactions with Sherry for him to know Holly lost her best friend later on.

Well, let me know what you think when you have more time. Thanks for the feedback thus far.
