Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai ~ Tensai tachi no ren'ai zunô sen ~

Hardly did you watch the anime ver. than you watched just the trailer of this... disgusting! Everything from the anime, they brought the the live-action. Yes, they have done their job well, but, in terms of anime is too BAD! They should have changed a little bit to make the film more nature!

Everything is so boring as another live-action! Why don't they just consider more about why a lot of people (E.G: ME) hate their live-action that much!

If you are in mood for a live-action, come and watch it! But I recommend watching the anime ver. first then you may have second thought - turn a blind eye to the live-action or still want to watch it! It's up to you!

The leads were great! What a great casting (they look the part perfectly, and I wish this was a TV series instead of a movie).. as well as Make-up, Wardrobe, Locations, Colors, Editing, Sound effect etc.

Sadly, this movie is 2 seasons worth of Anime summarized in 2 hours. Although it has good pacing, it still feels rushed. It's a patchwork of scenes from the manga edited together to form a plot.. but there is a little change that makes it worth seeing (appreciated and unexpected). It's fresh enough, but still too familiar. The rest of the cast was awfully forgettable (except for Hayasaka) and weren't used as they should have, which is weird for such important parts of the original (specially Fujigawara).

** Barely in theaters at this point, and only found in Japanese.

Their manga and anime so captivationg and wonderfull to watch, so my expectation of this live action is a bit high...kanna hashimoto and sho hirano play kaguya and shirogane very well... but for chika fujiwara character...oh my God, this live action just massacre my most beloved character. the one i waited on the movie, turns out the one i cant stand due to the cringe. its so cute in the anime, yet so bizzare in movies.

It about two school leaders who secretly like each other but don't want to confess to the other first so they make up tricks and traps to make the other confess first. It's light-hearted, super funny and full of jokes and being romantic at the same time. The election and final scene are also fantastic. Highly recommended.

The most popular guy and the most popular girl in this prestigious elite school are obviously into each other, but they are both way too prideful to make themselves vulnerable by showing it, so every interaction between them becomes a power play and a chess game. The stuff they come up with to avoid revealing themselves and circumvent the elefant in the room is pretty creative and hilarious. The humor is totally childish and over the top in the typical anime style but it's very well balanced out with a charming, sweet and wholesome romance, good cinematography and some funny side characters. The movie is never predictable and a lot of scenes take unexpected turns that make it even more funny. Since I am not a manga or anime fan I can only judge the movie on its own and I must say I found it extremely entertaining and absolutely hysterical. I laughed out loud quite a few times. Definitely recommended.
