I'm starting to see why numerous directors have thought about bringing this story to a movie screen. It's not your run-of-the-mill kid with superpowers story. Mai makes some huge mistakes, and suffers some very real tragedy, all in the space of a few days. There's a wonderful sense of the deep history of the government's use of psychics, even if we haven't been told virtually any of it. There's some expert world-building, on par with John Wick, that is going on here. The hyper-kinetic style of the series would also lend itself to condensing these 28 issues into a 2-hour film. I think it would get going and then just never let you settle down, much like the latest Mad Max film. 2 straight hours of adrenaline.
Though for me it's going to be 28 20-minute increments of adrenaline. Which I think it probably better for me in the long run.
