Wotaku ni koi wa muzukashii

What was so wrong with the original material (manga or anime) that they had to change it so much? Neither the story or the characters match. It seems as if someone just watched the first episode of the anime and decided to make a movie based on it. I can't say it was a waste of time. It was worse than that. It was pure torture!

I gave it 6 stars just because the casting was great but overall it was disappointing. I wish they would have focus more on the story not the musical. The anime is way better. But if you are a fan of Kento Yamazaki and want to watch him sing and dance this is for you.

If you enjoyed the manga and the anime, then you will readily enjoy MANY aspects of this film!

I was really loving this film! Then, about 2/3 into it I was slightly disappointed. It is a DECENT adaptation of Wotakoi, and the two main actors really show the lovingly-awkward-chemistry that Narumi and Hirotaka have with one another. They spend the first half of the movie establishing their relationship, and I LOVED every second of it. They priced together stories from the manga that felt cohesive, and it had really good flow!

However, this movie only focuses on Narumi and Hirotaka's relationship, and that is where it fails a bit. I think if they had brought Kabakura and Hanako's relationship into the film at the halfway point, I probably would have given this an 8/10.

Because the plot mainly focuses on Hirotaka and Narumi by themselves, eventually the writers ran out of the useable source material. They added new drama in their relationship that wasn't necessary (or well executed) in my opinion. Hanako and Kabakura are in the movie separately in a few scenes, but they didn't add very much to the movie.

I really enjoyed the casting for every character, except Kabakura. The acting was much more tolerable than most Live-Action adaptations. Actually the acting was pretty good! It didn't feel like they were actually pretending to be cartoons. The acting was on par for your average asian comedy.

The movie was a musical. I am a big fan of musicals, and I have pretty high standards. Wotakoi LA did pretty good! The composing, lyrics, and dancing were excellent! I'll have to watch it a second time to really give the music parts a better analysis.

In conclusion, it was a lot better than I expected! The first half of the film is worth it by itself that I'm going to rewatch it at some point. So, if you liked the anime, give the Live Action a try!

This excellently executed musical is so underrated!! I don't understand why people don't like it. It's like a Japanese comedy version of La La Land. Perfect cast (especially the leads), beautiful music and cinematography, the plot is sweet and heartbreaking at the same time, funny, of course. The pace is just right, unlike many low-pace Japanese movies. I watched it at late night by myself in my tiny comfy room and I just kept screaming whenever Kento & Mitsuki hug and kiss! They are such a cute match. Love them so much! Love the film, the music, everything! I just hope there could be even more romantic scenes coz I just can't get enough!!

It was torture to watch.

Cast were great, the musical is great, acting was ok. But the story development was so awful, as well as camera angles and focus. It's so sad, there's just no build up of emotion and character. Missed the whole point of the anime. It was so weird and frustrating to watch.

Don't watch the whole movie. Waste of time. Just watch few clips from youtube and you're done.
