Saiki Kusuo no sai-nan

First I'd like to say I love the Saiki K anime! I fully know that any live adpation of an anime or cartoon show can be a hit or bust. This was a bust. 👎

I was so excited to watch this film even though I could tell from trailer it probably wasn't going to be faithful to the anime or manga. They weren't faithful to the characters, or storyline. It was like they crammed 10 episodes into one movie that takes place in one setting. They made the main characters act in ways they normally wouldn't, and combined traits/ personalities other characters have into one person. Without sharing spoilers I will say Teruhashi, Nendo, Hairo, and Kuboyasu are not represented in the best light. Kusuo and Kaido are pretty much the same but at the same time they aren't. Kusuo is completely dead pan and Kaido exhibits no embarrassment from his dillusions like he normally would in the anime.

I'm not going to say not to watch it because if your a fan curiosity will get the best of you. But honestly you aren't missing anything.

I have not watched the anime yet, nor had any other background information on the story. Therefore, I can't say if this movie follows the anime perfectly or it was a disastrous live action. For what is worth, it was kind of enjoyable, though it was so fast paced and idiotic at some points that lost the good qualities that this movie actually had. Yamazaki is back again with another student character, this time though, with super powers and bright pink hair. I do like him as an actor, to be honest, and it was the only reason why I picked up this movie. But, in here, he's just okay. Not bad, but not outstandingly good. Maybe the script didn't help him, however. The other actors were okay as well, even though that girl did overreact at some points. The plot, on the other hand, tried too hard to make the movie anime like and some of the jokes ended up to be just silly comical scenes. Unfortunately, I doupt that I'll remember even watching this movie.

It's over the top and extremely fun from beginning to end. I laughed so much that my stomach hurts. Haven't seen a movie that much fun in a long time.

This would top them. This movie is absolutely beautiful. It fully encaptures the awkwardness of the anime, and shows each characters personality incredibly well. It would get ten stars, if they didnt miss out on an absolute fantastic opportunity for an ending line. The last scene should have been kusuo saying yare yare.

Teruhashi : too many hand movements, lacks the usual confidence anime Teruhashi has, but narcissism is still intact - just plain irritating.. seems r----ded.. will make you say "stfu fake Teruhashi" Aren : moves like a worm who've just been sprinkled with salt Nendo: good resemblance, just wish he's way taller Kaido: his weird movements would have worked if the camera was closer and was following him along, but it's awkwardly far and he's just moving around inside the shot

Went over the top on things that could've been subtle, did not go crazy enough with this that should have been over the top. Would have worked with better direction.

Kasuo's dad is on point though.
