Mushishi - live action

sme

I was in hmv today and spotted in the new releases a dvd for mushishi. I love this anime, its one of my top ten. Just wondering has anyone seen this film? Is it worth shelling out for?

Also, it is directed by otomo. From wikipedia it appears to be his first live action feature, is it as good as i should except from him (although steamboy was crap)

p.s. I thought that i would get a better response for this here than in films, so don't shot me for posting here!

Excellent, I've been looking to get the film for awhile now. What price was it?

Oh sweet, it finally arrives on our shores! I've been waiting for this for a while now. If you haven't read the manga or watched the anime, then do yourself a favour and check them out.
Also, this is far from being Otomo-sensei's first live-action film. He's previously done;
Jiyū o Warera ni (Give Me A Gun/Give Me Freedom)
Shuffle (Based on his psychedelic manga short Run)
World Apartment Horror (Bases on his manga of the same name, drawn by Satoshi Kon)
Kôkô Erotopia: Akai seifuku (Based on his manga short Cinema Club)

Does anyone know if there is a full 26 episodes box set of this because all I can find is volumes 1-6 which i hate buying cause they cost way too much when buying them in volumes
