Speaking of rotoscoping... and well, it's an animu instead of a movie, but I think they're rotoscopic a bunch of scenes in the currently airing Lupin, and they look fantastic. If they aren't rotoscoped, they must've hired wizards as animators or something.
As for Hana to Alice Satsujin Jiken's story... I'd say it's much more memorable than the story in Hana to Alice. Some scenes really left an impression with me too, like when Alice is hanging out with that old dude in the park, or when the girls are trying to find a car to sleep under.
I'm not sure if I liked the movie or the manga better. The manga is, well, a Dowman Sayman manga, so that needs no explanation, but I really loved the movie.
